If you have a question about RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas, please leave it down in the comments below! When it is safe to travel again - Where YOU going Next?
It will be my first time going there.. I have a question, do the hotel send someone to pick you up at the airport? Thank you!!!
@@GarciaonlyJesus I believe if you book directly through the resort, you can choose optional transportation. Most airline and travel providers will include a transportation in the all inclusive fee. Just look at the fine print of wherever you’re purchasing through.
@@WherewegoingNext thank you so much for replying back, okay good I will check that :) and also thank you for such an amazing video review!!!!!
@@GarciaonlyJesus hey anytime! Glad you liked the video! ☺️
im headed out there in a week, so we can visit all the riu hotels if we are staying at the palace??
Love y’all’s channel and how detailed these tours are. It’s so hard to know just from the websites and reviews what the experience will be like. Very helpful! Thanks so much
Kim R thank you so much for the kind words Kim !! I’m very happy our videos help you, that’s why we do them! ☺️☺️. Let us know if there is anything you’d want to see !

What an awesome video, I excited about our fourth coming trip
Have an awesome time !!!! Let us know how it was! ☺️
Amazing vlog, and very informative thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I love this resort. My bff from high school and I went here in 2017. I had never been to Mexico, it was a "bucket list" trip for me. My friend Jodie went all out to make my trip perfect!
Lee Squirrel aww what a nice story!! ☺️ huge shoutout to Jodie! We love hearing positive things like this.
@@WherewegoingNext I am truly blessed to have such a friend. We were separated for 17 years. No drama, just life. But it was like we had just talked. Picked up the conversation right where we left off.
Our next adventure was Puerto Vallarta. We're going back to Cabo as soon as the lock down is over. Have a great weekend! See ya at the beach!
Lee Squirrel so happy to hear that!! Enjoy Cabo when the time comes. Enjoy your weekend as well !! 🥳🥳
Really nice video!!!!!! Thanks again 👍I’m planning a trip for a next weekend!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome again! You’ll really enjoy Cabo! If you’re staying at one of the palaces, you’ll really enjoy some of the amenities and food!! It’s gorgeous there !! Have fun!!
I just left from there. We spent 7 days at the resort. The resort itself is beautiful. We had ocean view rooms. Gorgeous view. There is one TV in the room. It is over by the sofa area. It took them 3 days to put batteries in safe before we could use it. By the end of our stay. They had no wash clothes or hand towels. Room service is limited to a salad and two different sandwiches. It was not good. The breakfast buffet, the bacon was burned and like jerky. Coffee bar awesome but I don't drink coffee. Entertainment low key. The Italian food was good. Now the swim up bar was awesome. I don't drink but those Virgin Shirley Temples were delicious. My family enjoyed it. So it was fun for drinkers and non drinkers. The view all around was just amazing. I could just sit on my balcony in awe of the surroundings. Again beautiful place. Also we requested 6 months out no alcohol in our room. Guess what it was fully stocked with alcohol but we had nothing in our refrigerator. Our excursions were great. The staff was great.
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏻
I’m here now. We got here Sunday leaving Friday the day after Thanksgiving. Very nice all inclusive resort. They are on top of infection control protocols- related to Covid. I feel safer here than I do back in my State. Food is delicious, staff at very friendly and helpful
Thanks for sharing your on site experience. Happy it’s safe and you’re enjoying! How is mask wearing, people complying? Are buffets as they were or changed ??
Very pleasant memories!!
Wish we could be back there right now. Saying that as I peer at the snow falling outside !! 😣.
Thank you so much super informative. We are definitely staying in RIU Palace
You will not be disappointed 👍🏻🙏🏻
awesome review great job i really want to go here next trip
You’ll really enjoy it! Thanks for the kind words!
❤❤❤ love the service and rhe shows as well.😊
👍🏻👍🏻
The wife, I , and 4 couples went there to celebrate her birthday.
We had a blast!! There for 10 days. My favorite was the open lobby bar with arch and beach view. It had the perfect ocean breeze and view. Oh and the staff and drinks were good too. 😁
Plan to go back someday!!!!!
Awesome to hear that you and your family had such a great time!! That lobby bar has to be one of my fav places to chill in the Caribbean. It’s absolutely breathtaking
Excellent video tour. I think my mind is made up and I now know where I want to stay at. 😊
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you so much for your video , we are going to this hotel in few months ☺️
Have a great trip! 😊
@@WherewegoingNext thank you☺️
Great tour of the resort! It's just down the street from me I'll have to check it out.
Ah! so cool!! You guys run fishing charters?
@@WherewegoingNext yes
This is the best design and layout "Palace" resort from Riu, along with the one in Guanacoste Costa Rica. Also, the best "Club" resort from Riu, is the one in Ocho Rios Jamaica.
Thanks for sharing!! For location, the one in Bahamas is pretty spectacular too!! 🤩🤩
I Stayed there is was awesome 🙂
Marissa Is my bff I really like this hotel too!! ☺️
Great video!!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely wanna go there one day.
I hope you get the chance! You’d love it!
This is my favorite all-inclusive resort. The drinks are pretty good. The food is delicious, service is exceptional and the environment is relaxing. Breathtakingly beautiful views from all over.
I completely agree. This RIU is spectacular! Thanks for checking out our video! 👍🏻☺️
@@WherewegoingNext If only we didn't have this pandemic, I would definitely go again!
This was a great tour video! Thanks! We are going there in August for my daughter's wedding. It is beautiful!
Congrats and enjoy your trip!
We've stayed at quite a few all-inclusives and were having a hard time deciding on our next destination. Because of this really fantastic tour, we've decided to try out RIU for the first time and this resort specifically. Thank you for the great information!
You’re very welcome! And hope you have an amazing trip! 🙏🏻😊
@@WherewegoingNext So we will have our 17 year old daughter on this trip (which is why we didn’t stay at the adults only). Can my wife and I access anything at the RIU Palace Baja (adults only) or just the Santa Fe? For instance the pool or gym?
Yes, you can access both Santa Fe and Baja!
Im going this Sunday 12/11/2022…. Thanks for the review!!!
Have a great trip!
This is great! thank you so much. It really makes my planning way easier. Subbed and Liked.
Glad you liked it Marc. Thanks for the sub!! 👍🏻👍🏻. Hope you enjoy Cabo!!
We were suppose to be there in March but our flight was cancelled due to covid. It would have been our 3rd time at this resort! I love this place!
Aww. sorry to hear that! It's such a gorgeous resort. Hopefully you can enjoy it again something in the near future!
Hey what’s up brother!! Funny how I found your videos again we are looking for another vacation at a riu hahaha, we never got back to you about our trip to Cancun at the peninsula! The resort was amazing everything you said and more! We really enjoyed it! But we had terrible luck with weather we were there for 9 days and 8 out of 9 days it rained with 6 days it was an absolute down pour all day! Everyone was like we have never seen weather like this! So that was really a downer! We like Cabo we are from Southern California so we can shoot down here anytime but we are thinking maybe going back to Aruba, not sure we were so disappointed with the weather in December in Cancun we felt like we didn’t even really have a vacation:( anyways good seeing your videos brother hope you and your wife are well!!
Hey Theodore! I'm glad you liked the Peninsula!!!! Sorry to hear about the weather.. that's a bummer. As much as we plan and get excited - we can't control mother nature! Cabo was great!! I love the climate there. Could have been a bit warmer while we were there.. but it was still great! The whale watching excursion we went on was priceless! So majestic to see the whales in their natural environment.
Have you been to the RIU Palace in Aruba????
Thanks for the kind words, Mona and I are doing well! Hope the same for you and your family!
Take care brother! ☺
Where we going Next? Yes that is exactly right man you can’t control the weather! Yes we have been to riu palace in Aruba and Antillas they were by far our favorite !!! Then prolly riu republica in Punta Cana then Cancún, yes the weather in Cabo is amazing! Have you checked out the riu in Puerto Rico looks amazing it’s on a cliff! We might book there next or Jamaica! Nice talking to ya man!
Theodore Toth same ! Nice talking to you too. Riu in Costa Rica sounds amazing! So many to check out, I love it !! Thanks for the info. We’ll be doing more vids once the restrictions lift. Feel free to subscribe so you see when the news vids are out! Take care Theodore!! ☺️
Amazing resort for sure! I wish I would’ve got more footage for my review/tips video but I was having too much fun. 😆
Aww! Film lots! Then you can cut as much as you want. Can’t add footage though. I usually walk around with my camera filming everything. If anything, I can use it for b-roll.
This is a great video. The resort is awesome. Can't wait to go next year. Did they have excursions for the Arch at the resort or did you have to go in town to book that tour.
Thank you Shirley! We have more coming !!
Really nice video! I’m going next week and had a lot of doubts about the hotel, but I definitely don’t have them anymore! If it says all included can I go to any of those restaurants?
Andrea García Hernández oh yea!! You can visit any restaurant as many times as you like !!! 😋 enjoy!!! Report back here and let us know how it went !! Have a great time 👍🏻
Great video! We're planning on visiting in June of next year. Q How busy/lively is it at night? We went to another resort before and there wasn't a lot going on. Also can you comment on the in-resort activities available? On the website it says there's basketball, tennis, and other activities, but those weren't in your video so I wasn't sure if those are really available. Thanks!
thanks !! The Cabo San Lucas has a beach club at night and some other shows at the theatre. But if you really want a lively and energetic party, head over to RIU Santa Fe. That’s the party resort !! In terms of activities, they have all kinds of pool games, volleyball, fitness classes. There is definitely basketball and tennis. They’re located between RIU Santa Fe and RIU palace Cabo San Lucas. Just out front of the resorts. I missed them on my tours! Hope you have a great time when it’s your time to go!
You say that riu palace baja have heat in the pool, but i want to know how about riu santa fe? Awesome video 🤙🏻
Really appreciate the kind words!
From what I experienced March 2020 - the Santa Fe and Cabo San Lucas Palace pools are not heated. But they were still comfortable to swim in, even in March. Though my wife found it a bit chilly.
Nice video. When was this video recorded? I was going to go there to the RUI PALACE the end of May but I canceled do to COVID-19
PASAD3NA626 hey there, sorry to hear of your plans. Hope you’re able to visit RIU palace soon! It’s so beautiful.
We recorded this tour in March, literally right before everything shut down.
I’m headed here on Tuesday
Enjoy your trip!!
How was it?
@@bigkatspoker seconded. How was it ?
Third wondering how it was. Looking to book for June :)
Hi. Thankyou for your detailed tour, appreciated. Q Do guests have access to the other Riu hotels? The large water slides at Riu Santa Fe are children allowed to ride them? My grandkids are used to using slides bigger than these in Turkey.
Hello!!! You’re very welcome!! So glad you found it helpful. When we were there, yes, RIU palace guests were able to move around to the other two resorts and use the splash pad. Double check with RIU. They may have changed some rules because of the pandemic
Hey how about some fun vids too, like you doing a beer chugging contest by the pool!?
Hahah!! Closest I have to that is our trip to Coco Bongo and the Beach Party in Cancun!! Hope you're keeping safe ally!!
Hello first off keep up the good work. I have watched your blogs before we usually go to the Riu Palace Peninsula every year in April but this year it was canceled due to covid 19. We have also been to the riu palace in Cabo and we enjoyed it as well but I was wondering in your opinion between the Peninsula and cobo palace witch did you like the most ?
Thank you!!
We both just talked about it - and cast two votes for Peninsula. Ultimately, the fact that you can't go in the Ocean in Cabo is a deal-breaker for us. Peninsula is the complete package, great views from rooms, beach is great, and overall - the ground are pristine!!!
You agree??
Where we going Next? Yes we both definitely agree as well. And the water being so calm at the Peninsula is a big perk. The Peninsula is the complete package for us we think it is amazing resort.
MacKenzie Cooper hey MacKenzie, there’s nothing stopping you from physically going in the water. It’s just l that it’s dangerous due to the strong undertow. Locals even encourage very strong swimmers to avoid the ocean due to this.
@@WherewegoingNext from the hotel you can't go to the ocean? I mean, I'm not allowed to go near the water? For example, can I be seated in the edge of the ocean just to feel the water in my feet? or they won't let me?
Andrea García Hernández You can go into the ocean, no one will stop you. Just not recommended to go out swimming. We walked along the beach up to our knees or so. Enjoy the sea!! 🌊
This video is beautiful very well done i know it was 2 years ago. Looking to book for the Spring of 2023, is it worth
going? Did you enjoy it and do you know if the quality of the hotel is still the same now. Also how is the weather
in Spring April or May.
Definitely go and enjoy! Cabo is very beautiful in the spring. It can be cooler in the evening, so bring a sweater. We’ve heard from lots of fans that it’s still a very nice place to visit.
Thanks for sharing this video! Did you fly with Sunwing? And if so, are they strict on the 5kg carry on policy?
Hello! You’re welcome. I’ve never had a carry on weighed at a sunwing desk. That doesn’t mean they can’t randomly check. Generally the limit is so that flight attendants can safely lift luggage into overhead bins while they assist passengers.
Thanks for the info!
Cool channel, new friend here
D&B TRAVELS hey thanks !! I’ve seen your videos before when searching travel clips. I made sure to subscribe this time too !! 🙂
Between the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas or the Riu Baja California- which do you prefer and why? Looking to book our first trip hopefully this fall if things are open
Oh my, that’s a tough one. Mona would tell you Baka California for the heated pools, I would say Cabo SAN Lucas because of the grounds and look of the hotel. Both have excellent food, drinks, staff, and activity options. moderate entertainment. Both allow you access to all 3 RIUs in the area (short walk between them). I find you get a better view from your room at san Lucas. Hope that helps! ☺️
I'm planning a girls trip for Feb 2021 and we're trying to decide between this resort and Riu Baja California. I know you can visit them all but do you also have full access to all activities at each resort and are all 3 resorts within walking distance of each other. My thoughts are to party some at Santa Fe, eat a little at Palace and have a relaxing sleep at Baja lol. Also thanx for your videos. I definitely subscribed!!
prncssp2001 awesome!! That sounds like a great vacation with you friends!
When we were there, yes, you did have full access to all 3 resorts. You’ll find almost the exact same food at Baja and SAN Lucas. Both are palaces.
Thanks for subscribing !!! We’re glad you like the videos! Happy they helped !! ☺️☺️
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks for the quick response. I asked the questions before completing the full video lol. You're great at vlogging I'm sharing your videos with my friends!
How would you rate the number of pool chairs available ? Some resorts we previously stayed at were lacking, although the Riu looks to have quite a lot.
Yes there’s a lot. They may have reduced the number now due to social distancing, But also, the number of guests has gone down too because of capacity restrictions. We never had a problem getting a lounger
Great video! Can you swim or is the water rough?
Thank you! No, you cannot swim in the ocean. The undertow is too strong and is unsafe.
Great review of entire resort. Are the ala carte restaurants, part of the all inclusive? Seems like most steak restaurants at resorts, charge for dinner, please advise, thank you. We need an elevator, the amenities says there is one, but you didn’t point that out, is there an elevator?
Yes, the a-la carte restaurants are included! And yes, there is an elevator in the main lobby. 👍🏻
Is Krystal included in with the all inclusive dining or is it extra? Great video thank you!
Yes it’s included 👍🏻
Beach looked nice. Was it nice enough to enjoy? I didn’t see waves or people using it ( seemed early while you filmed).
The beach does look nice, but it’s not swimmable. There is a very strong undertow that makes it too dangerous to swim.
I asked the same. That's important to us. Thank you 🙏
If you stay at riu palace Cabo can you still visit the riu Baja as well? I know you can visit the Santa Fe if you stay at either palace but wasnt sure if you can go between the two palace hotels
Yes you can go between palaces. That’s standard across all RIUs. ☺️
When did you go ? Do you know how it is in august? Great video
We went in March. It will definitely be warmer, especially at night 👍🏻
We are planning our honeymmon and considering this place. My number 1 concern is- will we be able to swim in the ocean? I know that it is on/ close to medrano beach where swimming is allowed (I think).
It is near swimmable beaches. When we were there, we didn’t swim in the ocean. The undertow was too strong and dangerous. No one was swimming in front of the hotel. If you go 15-20 minutes down the beach to the right, it’s much safer
Hello. I just watched your Riu Baja California video and wanted to ask if staying there, do you have access to this one too?
Yes, u can visit the Palace Cabo San Lucas, as well as RIU Santa Fe 👍🏻
Hello again, I have another question. I have a large group going in August 2021 with over 100 people, this resort looks huge did you feel safe at night and did you see security around the premises. I'm just loving the Lounge 24 area could be a great spot for our meet and greet.
I never felt unsafe at this resort or any of the others on the property. There are security, but you don’t see them too often. That’s a lot of people!! You may consider informing them of your group before and they may be able to set aside some space for you??
Thank you ill certainly do that.
So if you stay at the palace, does your all inclusive access include the Baja California and Santa fe. Like do you get to enjoy free drinks and food from the other resorts as well as the palace?
Yes you do!! 🙌🏻
Excelente video! Buenas noches.
El hotel tiene balcón vista al mar? Mi esposa y yo tenemos fotos en todos los balcones del hotel que vamos con vista al mar.
Como es la playa? Buscamos sin tanto oleaje.
Gracias
That’s for watching our video! Yes, there are a lot of ocean view rooms with balconies - just make sure to specify ocean view when you are reserving your room. The beach is not swimmable in Cabo 👎 the undertow is very strong, so it is unsafe to swim in front of the hotel. There is a swimmable beach about a 20 minute walk down the beach
BREAKFAST &DINNER BUFFET IS A FOODIE PARADISE! CAN EAT UNTIL YOU POP. MmmmmmmmmmGOOD!
Great video and info…we will be staying here next month for a week. I have a few questions, Is alcohol included on all inclusive? The outings the scuba dive, boat ride, etc. do you have to make a reservation ahead of time or you can reserve on the same day? Thank you.
Yes alcohol is included 👍🏻 yes, you usually have to book the excursions ahead of time with the tour operators. They might have space the day of, but not guaranteed. Also, the excursions are an extra charge.
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks for the quick response. I Can’t wait.
Have a great trip!
Are the a la Carte dining options included in the all-inclusive package?
Yep!! They are. Enjoy them, they’re yummy!
Question I know you said this in the video
So if I’m staying at the riu palace Cabo I’m access to go to riu palace Baja and Santa Fe ??
Yes, correct! 👍🏻👍🏻
I just booked this place for next year im excited BUT is it really all inclusive like the restaurants and swim up bars etc or is there going to be surprise charges when we check out? i just need to know up front lol
Nope, all the things you mentioned are included! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 The only thing you will have to pay for are any excursions u want to go on, but they will tell you those prices up front 👍🏻👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext Thank you so much.
You’re welcome ☺️
Were you able to see if the swim-out suites have ocean view? We are deciding if we want a swim-out room or an ocean front room. Thanks.
I would say you might have a partial ocean view in the swim out rooms - depending on whether your room is closer to the beach or the lobby (one side of the resort has a restaurant in the way of the beach as well). Since the rooms are obviously on the ground level and there are privacy patricians between the rooms, this will limit the view of the ocean - but you probably get a good view in the pool outside of your room 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext thanks so mucH!
We are heading there at the end of November and are super excited to get away; even under these circumstances. I have a question about tipping. How did you do it? Housekeeping, meals, bars etc. all the time, per day? just want to be prepared. Thanks!
Awesome!! You’re going to have a great time on your trip!!! ☺️
We left a few US dollars on the pillow each morning for housekeeping. Bars we tipped 1 or 2 dollars every 2-3 drinks. Restaurants we tipped 3-5 dollars per meal.
Don’t know if that’s standard, but that is typically what’s in our budget. We tend to tip a little more if they go above and beyond, or even just make a good effort to get to know us and have a good time.
Were the ala Carte sites included in all inclusive or extra? What kind of pricing did you encounter if is want included? Should have asked earlier. Great video. Very informative
@@mishazbertorello6527 Thanks so much! :) :) . The a la carte IS included in the all-inclusive price!
@@WherewegoingNext 😁😁😁
@@mishazbertorello6527 I'd try 1 or 2 a la cartes. If anything they're a nice relaxing sit-down away from the bustle of the buffet. If you're not too fond of the selections - you can always go to the buffet after! :D
Thank so much for your video!! I want to ask you, i will travel in august but im not decide if i chose RIU palace cabo san Lucas or RIU Santa Fe, both looks really nice, would u explain me abou it... Regards.
Hi Fernanda, I would certainly recommend RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas. It's a bit more money, but the food is much better, and it's more quiet! You can still visit RIU Santa Fe if you want to - but you can't visit the Palace if you're staying at Santa Fe.
It depends what kind of trip your looking for.. more relaxing - stay at the palace.. more action, entertainment - Santa Fe.
Who are you traveling with? Family? Partner?
@@WherewegoingNext can you visit palace Baja cali if you're staying at the palace Cabo san Lucas ?
Kareen Yup!! You certainly can. BUT, it’s Adults only so if you have children, they won’t be allowed inside.
Hey I’m going by August/5 hope to meet new friends I’m excited it looks awesome
Zack Sunny awesome Zack, have a great time ! 👍🏻
We are planning a trip to the Palace. We have 5 younger kids. Do you know how far the walk is to the water park? Did you utilize the kids club at all or hear any feedback on it? How easy is it to mover from hotel to hotel, I know the property is vast. .
The walk to the water park is about 5-10 mins depending on where your room is. The resorts are very close together and we found it to be an easy walk between, but it depends on what limitations you might have. No we did not use the kids club, but it did look nice.
Do they have ice machines with purified water available for drinks in your room?
They do have ice machines on each floor, but not in your room
As an “all-inclusive” resort, we can choose at any of their restaurants right? Just want to make sure we don’t have to pay additional when we get there 😅
Yes, that is correct. They might have specialty alcohol or special dinners on the beach you can pay for, but otherwise all of the buffets and restaurants are free 👍🏻
Are all of the a la carte restaurants part of the all inclusive, or do any of them have additional costs?
Yes, they are all included! 👍🏻😊
Hi, do you recommend a swim out room or a jetted tub room at Riu Palace Cabo???
It’s all personal preference. I’d go for the swim out room, but I’m just not one for jacuzzis. Really depends on your wants. Have a fun time !!
Doe the Lounge 24 have food 24 hours? Not expecting a meal but love night snacks are always nice.
Dawna Seawell oh yea! I’m a sucker for some nachos after partying. We’d always pop in and grab a quick bite before bed ! 😁
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks!! Is there a charge for room service?
Dawna Seawell No charges. But it is kind to give a small tip. It goes a long way for the delivery person! They really appreciate it!
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks, exactly what we do on a cruise ship. Tips give a huge smile :)
Dawna Seawell :( cruiiiseee shipppp. Miss that!! 😣
So I've watched all three Of your Rui videos and this by far is my favorite!!! I thought baja California would be because I want an adults only resorts, but I'm just so in love with one!! I was thinking of going in March 2021 for my birthday or May 2021 because there is a Los Cabos jazz and soul fest that month. But you have to stay at Hardrock or NOBU as part of the package. How is the weather in March? You mentioned the water in the pool was chili in February.
Ahhh yesss! RIU Palace CAbo San Lucas is very pretty. That'd be pretty cool to see the jazz fest !!
Yeah the pools are not severely cold - but their certainly not heated. Maybe that's changed now?? If its a really nice sunny day - wouldn't be a problem. But sometimes when it's cloud covered - it might be chilly depending on your tolerance. Mona hates the cold - and she didn't like the pool. I don't mind cold - and I would swim no problem in the CSL pools.
I'm seeing mixed messages about the pool temps on forums.. some say its heated, some say it's not. I know we were there in Feb, and it seemed cool. Maybe one is heated, one is not? Sorry it's a bit unclear.
Really want to be able to swim in the ocean and be on the beach is their anywhere in Los Cabo’s where we can do that? Also is this place close to fun things like downtown etc ?
itsaileenn yes and yes!! You can walk down the beach to the right and there is a calmer lagoon to swim in. Just keep an eye on the flags indicating dangerous swimming. To get to the downtown, there is a cheap bus route 1usd one way. It’ll take you right into the downtown. Otherwise a taxi will take you there for a bit more money. Downtown is great, lots of shopping, bars, nightclubs! Lots of fun!
Where we going Next? Thank you so much for your response
Hi, we are trying to decide between the Palace vs Santa Fe. We are going with our kids, 4 and 11yo. Which do you think is better suited for us? Thank you!
Calvin Wu hey Calvin! I always tell people, if you want a little extra - go for the Palace. You’ll have much better food offerings, rooms are nicer, etc. If that doesn’t matter to much to you, Santa Fe will be sufficient. Either way, your kiddos will have access to the splash park. It’s a quite a bit more peaceful and quiet at palace Cabo San Lucas, Santa Fe is more young 20 ish crowd looking for a party! Whatever you choose, let us know how it was!!! When are you thinking of visiting?
Where we going Next? Thank you. After watching your video, it seems like the Santa Fe has more for the kids. Palace seem more for adults. Am I incorrect?
Santa Fe is closer to the splash park, but Palace has RiuLand. It’s basically like a little day care where kiddos can do activities during the day led by a RIU team member. Santa Fe can also get REALLY loud, like realllllllllly loud. Especially if you’re near RIU party. During the day and some evenings it’ll be loud. Palace is far enough away that you don’t really hear that. You can still visit Santa Fe if you’re staying at the Palace, just not vice versa. Happy to chat more if you have more questions !!! 🙂
Where we going Next? I’m viewing package prices for July 2020 between the Santa Fe vs Palace. It seems like Palace is cheaper. 2 adults, 3 kids. But when I view with 5 adults, the Palace is much more expensive. Any reason why? I know Palace is a higher end resort. TIA!
Hmm. I’m not really sure! Awesome that palace is cheaper !!
Hi what is the average temperature of Cabo in March? That would be when we would be going.
It’s in the mid 20s degrees Celsius 👍🏻
Are you able to go into the pools, have drinks food at the other two palaces?
If u stay at RIU Cabo San Lucas, u can visit and use the facilities at Santa Fe, but not Baja California
If you stay at either RIU palace or RIU baja, can you enjoy amenities (pool, restaurant, etc) of the other palace hotel. So staying at BAJA and you can go to palace and use the pools and vice versa?
Correct. Yes. Just an FYI, both Baja and Cabo Sam Lucas are palaces. RIU Palace Baja California and RIU Palace Baja California. If you stay at either of those, you can visit and use the pools at all 3 resorts. If you stay at RIU Santa Fe, you are only allowed to stay on Santa Fe property.
@@WherewegoingNext thank you! Have you been to any other resorts in Cabo?
@@jared8600 no sir. Just the RIUs
@@WherewegoingNext Appreciate the reply. Are there any umbrellas or cabanas on the beach? It looked just like beach chairs.
@@jared8600 no cabanas. I didn’t notice umbrellas either unless they’re added them since. Makes for a sunny day !!
We are staying here in December. I understand that if you stay in a Palace you can access each of them. Does that include the restaurants or do you have to eat at your own resort?
Yes, you can eat at the restaurants as well!
So if I stay at the riu Santa Fe I have access to to everything at the other two hotels as well? Or is that only if you stay at ont of the higher priced ones than the Santa Fe? I’ve been confused on this and I’m staying here in January!
I just watched the Santa Fe video I’m sorry to leave the comment on this one but I meant to say I’m staying at the Santa fe
If you stay at one of the RIU Palaces, you can visit the other RIUs in the complex… but in your case, if you stay at Santa Fe, you cannot go to the Palaces 🤷🏼♀️
How far away is the marina? Is it walking distance, are there hotel shuttles, or do we take a cab/Uber?
Hello. Marina is not really walking distance. It’s about an hour walk. The do have taxis that the concierge can help you with. Didn’t see a shuttle unless it was a paid excursion.
Have to ask, the real John Tavares ? 🤔
Ha! Well, yeah it’s the real JT. Just not the hockey player! Sorry! 😂
Haha,
Is there swimming allowed in the ocean? I saw a red flag up, but I did see lifeguard tower.
No, the tide is much too strong to be able to swim in the ocean in front of the hotel. There is a swimmable beach closer to downtown which is about a 15-20 walk down the beach, or you can take a water taxi over to lover’s beach (by the famous arch) which is a beautiful swimmable beach.
Can you go into the Palace if you are staying at Baja California?
Yes. Baja California is considered a Palace too. You can access Santa Fe too.
Do they serve you drinks on beach and at pools
At the pools definitely!! I didn’t stay on the beach too much, so not sure!
What brand of Tequila and Whisky to they offer at the bars? Thanks
I would be guessing. But I do recall seeing patron, Jose Cuervo. I’m not an expert in liqueur brands
How many a la carte sit down restaurants are there in total?
5 ala cartes, plus the buffet 👍🏻
How swimmable is the beach? It looks decent compared to other playas in Cabo.
Arturo Chapa they strongly recommend not swimming in front of the hotel because of the undertow. You can walk 15 mins down the beach to the right and swim in calmer waters there. Or take a water taxi over to lovers beach (the arch)
What is undertow?!😳
What times does the pools close
I don’t think they enforce a pool closing time, as people swim late into the evening… but the pool bars close around 5:30.
RIU PALACE IS ABSOUTELY .BEAUTIFUL . GROUNDS/ PLANTS/ART WORK.BEAUTFUL SUNRISE/SUNSET .BREATH TAKING VIEWS.
I HAD AN EXCELLENTE TIME. SWEET PEOPLE/GOOD FOOD. /DRINKS. A FOODIE PARADISE. Nightly Entertainment. IF THE STAFF COULD WIPE YOUR MOUTH THEY WOULD . A MUST GO. .ALL. INCLUSIVE. &WORTH EVERY CENT. AMAZING!!!!!GRACIOUS!!!!
Couldn’t agree more !! Glad you enjoyed your trip!
Hi,
We are coming for my birthday on October 1st and we have a total if 15 people coming but we are split up between Cabo and Baja.....
8 of us originally were at Santa Fe but moved due to renivations...
We want to know which building is the closest to the Santa Fe side so wr can ask for it....
Building number or room numbers on either ground floor with swim out rooms or non swim out on second floor please !!!!!
Thank you
Marlene
I’m sorry, we do not have floor plans of the resorts, so we couldn’t tell you which rooms to request 🤷🏼♀️ but if you ask at checkin I’m sure they will try to accommodate you
@@WherewegoingNext thank you 😊
Hello is the beach swimmable and is it party resort or more laid back
No, the beach is not swimmable. This is more of a family resort - if you want a party atmosphere, you can go to RIU Santa Fe.
I've been there before. It's so sad to see it so empty.....
Moises Alvarez that was back in March before the pandemic too! It looks empty because it’s around 6:30am. I wonder what it’s like now!!!
Does this resort have any elevators? Does it have room service?
sunny norris yes sir they do have both. Although, room service may have changed since we were there in March with the new COVID precautions. When we were there, it was offered.
Thanks for the subscribe too!! 🤩
Which of these reaorts are kid friendly?
Good question. RP Baja California is adults only. So between CSL, and Santa Fe, I would say CSL. Santa Fe attracts a very big PARTY crowd because of RIU Party. It's a bit much especially if you have young kids. If I recall, CSL also has RIU LAnd for kiddos!
were buffets open?
Ted Nguyen when we were there (March 2020) the buffets were open. I believe they are now, but they have modified the service.
Does this have 24hr all inclusive room service (food/drink/ect)?
Riley Trankle yes. Though the menu is limited especially late at night.
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks for the Reply. Trying to figure out where to go on our honeymoon in November. Your vids are helpful. Any one place in particular you would rank as #1?
Congrats!! If your exclusively looking in Cabo, the Cabo San Lucas is great. I’d you’re open to Cancun, RIU palace peninsula is our no. 1. We love swimming in the ocean, and Cabo’s beach is not swimmable. Peninsula is also so close to cancun, you can party at the downtown bars ... lots of excursion options. Beautiful views from all of the rooms. It’s the complete package! ☺️
@@WherewegoingNext Sounds great, thank you I really appreciate it!
Riley Trankle wherever you guys decide, you’ll have any amazing time on your honeymoon!
One more Questions? Is their spots to smoke and are their any cigar or cigar vendors in the 3 resorts
Yes, smoking is allowed in most outdoor areas. There are usually cigars for purchase in the shops at each resort.
Is it safe to swim on this side of the beach unlike Riu California ?
No, it’s not safe to swim in front of the hotel - there’s a very strong undertow
What's the difference between riu palace and riu Santa fe? Thank you
The Palace resorts tend to have better food options and nicer rooms and amenities. RIU Santa Fe has a younger, party crowd as well.
Guessing you can't get to the beach for a swim. Is this water not swimmable?..you have to take the water taxie to get to the arches beach?
Yeah, unfortunately the beach isn’t swimmable in front of the hotel because the undertow is too strong and dangerous. Yes, you can take a water taxi to lovers beach for a nice swim
