I came with 4 other people and we loved it! definitely was a 10/10 property. This was my first ever all inclusive and I personally enjoyed the room view, the breakfast and buffet and the pool and unlimited drinks. It was so relaxing time felt like it was going so fast. I was skeptical at first because the reviews were being picky but I had to see it for myself and I had no complaints. I had an amazing time and so did my other friends that came with me. The customer service was amazing and they were so friendly and available. I highly recommend this resort to anyone that is interested in going. Especially for my first time in Cabo.

We had a great time at this location. The view from the pool is absolutely gorgeous. You get to see the famous Cabo arches right off of the back of the property. The restaurants were all great that we tried. Staff was wonderful. Maria who served us at the pool was amazing. Carlos and Emmanuel at the buffet were top-notch and so much fun. The only thing I would always recommend at RIU resorts, is to please get better drink mixes. The only thing that they have to mix any drink are syrups. So it is very unhealthy, super sugary and undrinkable for somebody like me. I had to just drink tequila on the rocks or beer. If they can get some fresh juices added to their bars, this would make things so much better. The entertainment was really good at the resort, but I would suggest leaving on either live music or a DJ for an extra hour at night so the guest can stay up and have a little bit extra fun. If you wanted to go to a club we had to walk next-door. We prefer just to stay at our location if possible. Other than that, we really loved our stay. We would happily come back.

Property is for young people who like to party. Did not feel safe with the drunken groups of teenagers. Can not go to the other Rui’s for the speciality restaurants. Very limited choice. Adults at palace Cabo San Lucas can not come to Baja California. People were kicked off the property. Not a 5 star, maybe a 3.5. Very unorganized.
