Jun 06, 2025Nice but not great
The rooms were nice, not great. Big bathroom but no counter space. Nice balcony. Elevator by rooms was broken for 2 days-didn’t appreciate walking up stairs to 4th floor. Could use more signage-spent a lot of time getting lost. Food was ok-buffet was best. Steakhouse is half of restaurant with 1.5 hour wait. Great pools!

Jun 06, 2025Loved the view!!
This resort was beauiful with the perfect view, the staff was very attentive and it never seemed crowded. We met some of the best people, had a great time, and ate really good food. We only left 2 different days to do water activities, because there was so much to do right there. We will be coming back!!

Great place to spend family vacation or a business gathering.
Great, beautiful, clean. Food: their buffets are the best. The restaurants are so so. Service : great except for morbidly tedious check-in procedure. All staff are exceptionally friendly. They never stop cleaning that place. Very impressed. Room service is superb. Drinks: bad . Full of chemicals and almost no alcohol in them. You have to ask to add more tequila for it to taste normal. They serve super tasty fresh juices and shakes for breakfast but use junky components for their cocktails. Why not combine ? Beach: splendid views on the rocks and the capes, gorgeous waves. You can’t swim there though. You will die. Private boat tours are a must do. You can jump and swim off the boat right at the cape! Warm water, tons of colorful fish. Security and safety: on point. Lots of services down the beach including great massage.

Jun 03, 2025All RIUs not made equal 🙅🏾♀️ Pick another resort!!
Stayed at this RIU in May. My friend and I chose to stay here because of our past stay at a RIU resort in Jamaica. Unfortunately we learned the hard way, that all RIUs aren’t made equally 🤦🏾♀️ This stay was nothinggggg like our previous stay. From food&drinks, to service at the in-house restaurants, CANT COMPARE!! Starting with the good: the rooms were nice, very spacious and appeared clean. (I did notice some spots/stains on the bed skirt). The shower area was very spacious and water temperature and pressure was good. My friend and I each had our own rooms, and had requested when booking (several months ahead of time) for them to be close by/near each other, we also both requested “King bed single room” instead of the standard “double room - 2 queens.” Upon checkin, my friend was initially told that there “wasn’t a king room available” (even though it was preselected at booking), my room had a King. After a few, while still going through the process of checkin another employee came up and just so happened to “have 1 king room available.” Annoying because what’s with the games?? 🙄 Biggest slap in the face upon arrival was the fact that we practically had to BEG for our welcome drinks. At our last RIU we were promptly greeted with a welcome drink (standard for guests at checkin). They actually have a staff member who’s job is to hand welcome drinks to the guests as they arrive in lobby. Felt disrespected and isolated because we noticed other guests having no issues getting their drinks. The food: 2/5 Definitely not the best food you’ll ever have. Most resort food isn’t. But this was worse than expected. Gave them a 2 because of breakfast. This was the most edible selection of food. We were there for a week, a few of those days lunch Buffet had something decent. Even the drinks (nonalcoholic) were a mess! From the OJ to the cranberry juice, to the sodas everything tasted like cheap watered-down, sugar substitute 🥴 The alcohol also tasted watered down. And the mixers used at the bars were down right nasty. Couldn’t even enjoy getting drunk 🙄 The BIGGEST and most egregious incident of disrespect during our stay was the actions of an employee at the buffet during breakfast (I believe his name is “Eduardo”). My friend and I arrived for breakfast one morning early before leaving the resort for an excursion. We sat down at a table (like we had been doing all the other days we’d been there), we were then told we couldn’t sit there by the staff member previously mentioned. He then directed us to sit at another table on across the dining area, obstructed by columns and REFUSED TO WAIT ON US!!! After getting our food from the buffet, watched as other tables near us we’re greeted and waited on, bringing them water and mimosas, etc. He and the other staff members working in the area (2 females) blatantly IGNORED us!!! Never in my life have I ever experienced such unpleasant and discriminatory dining services. The best times experienced during our stay in Cabo were definitely OFF this resort. Definitely don’t recommend!!!! Book somewhere else for your stay in Cabo. (P.S. - for context, my friend and I are 2 black females. Not sure if race had something to do with the discriminatory behavior experienced, but definitely did not feel we were welcomed)
