I cant begin to tell you how clean this resort is. Food was good service was above average for all inclusive. The people at this resort make it kind and attentive. Dont forgent to see Ana nightly in the square for her mexican specialties very yummy! And alfonso at the pool bar by the beach will take good care of your wishes. Drinks are all inclusive but there are plenty of them. Only drawback nothing big just barking dogs outside building 1 but there are so many nice things they far out weigh the barking dogs. They beach at this resort is hard sand for walking and the surf is rough but a excellent pool and view.

The RIU Santa Fe is the best hotel to stay with a family. The pools are awesome and food is free. The entertainment crew is the best. They have stuff going on all day at the pool. The beach is nice, although not the best for swimming as the waves can get somewhat dangerous. A short walk toward town on the beach and you get all of the water toys and perfect swimming.

All of the restaurants at the Santa Fe were amazing, make reservations early though. The night time shows were fantastic and walking the grounds was amazing every night. Don't leave your shorts out on the bottom floor balcony because mine got stolen:)

The grounds and pools are beautiful all else is below average. The quality of food is fair, putting banners and jerseys on a wall does not make a large room a sports bar. The mini bar in the room was never filled after half a dozen calls. The weather was great, thank goodness! The staff were not friendly. Would definitely not recommend.

As with all resorts there are some good comments and some less than positive. On the good side there is lots to do and the location provides activities for all ages. The pools down by the ocean are where the action is and the pools in the middle of the resort are more suited if you have small children or wish to have some quiet time. The rooms are good size and well stocked booze and soft drinks. No internet in rooms - you have to go to hotel lobby for free internet. Food in specialty restaurants is very good but reservations can be challenging. You have to make reservations at 7AM to ensure you get into the restaurant you want. All of the restaurants are not open every day. Suggest you check this out when checking in. Tap water in hotel rooms is not drinkable but hotel provides water. No signs to warn you of this. House wine leaves much to be desired - chardonnay and melot . Tastes like it comes from a big tank in the basement. If you want to make change you cannot do it at the hotel. Staff are friendly and entertainment is varied.
