This is exactly why I booked Riu Palace Baja California, the access to the other resorts. Thanks for your review! Iโm looking forward to my trip ๐๐พ
Hi Feyi! Good decision! It's nice to have the updated room too! Have a great trip! PS Stay tuned - I'll be dropping a video this weekend on my fave bars in Cabo - might be worth checking it out!
Great review. Thanks for the comparison between the 3 resorts!
Hi Mark! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it useful!
Your video was helpful..Is there a schedule of events on the website or once you get to the resort?
Me and my friends will be going in August
Hi WYZ! Yeah you can look at the current activities program via the Riu app. Just direct it to the resort you'll be staying at and you can see the restaurant menus, activities, and show times!
Iโm going to the Rui Santa Fe and I love the terra cottage look and the large space and cactus and Iโm fine with middle of the road food and donโt care for the cookie cutter looks of the Palaces or paying extra
Hi Peter! Exactly this! This is why this whole complex is so great - so many different styles - it's really easy to find the one that you like. And I just cannot shut up about that courtyard pool area. Such eye candy!!
We are planning to take kids 18 and up during Christmas week. Is this a good time to go?
Are they able to drink at 18?
Will the parties be going on during that time?
What about wine? I didnโt see any in the rooms?
Can you tell Iโm excited? ๐
Hi Deeann! Yeah I've been in Cabo for Xmas before and it's nice to be away BUT it can get chilly in the evenings & early mornings, so be sure to pack a sweater and maybe some long pants. The Riu will have the resort all decorated and they'll have a special mean on the 24th and Santa may make an appearance on the 25th - it'll be good fun.
Yes, drinking age in Mexico is 18, so kids should have no problem drinking but make sure they take it easy - shooters are commonly poured here and it's incredibly easy to overdo it without even trying to!
No wine in the room, only hard alcohol in the wall unit and beer in the mini-fridge, but you can get wine at any of the bars.
Sounds like you will all have a blast at the resort!! Have fun!
Hi. Love your videos. How far is downtown to walk and browse shops?
Hi Sandra! Itโs walkable but slightly dodgy as youโre walking along a sandy road which vehicles use as a shortcut and if it rains, you might get washed away. That said, the walk is about 45-50 mins or you can Uber from the gates of the resort to downtown in about 7 minutes and itโs cheap as chips. ($4-6). When are you going?
@ChristineTurner I was looking at august but haven't decided for sure. Disappointed about the beach.
@@sandramartinez7127 Hi Sandra! Yeah it sucks that you can't swim here but you're about a 45 minute walk to Medano beach (or same as above for Uber) and you can absolutely swim there! I was there in August several years ago & it gets crazy hot. I think I'd be spending a lot of time at the courtyard pool at the Riu Santa Fe because it's a massive pool so it won't heat up as fast and there's more palm trees for shade. Have fun!
@@ChristineTurneri heard uber is not a thing or popular there. Mostly just Taxi?? But i guess it's not true
@@tealover4664 no they were everywhere when we were there but I thatโs changed a lot from the past. Used to be big fights between the taxis and Uber. Now everyone is getting along. At least thatโs my experience in Cabo and in Cancun.
Oh and one more question:
When you arrived at airport , how bad and how long is the immigration line? Do you need to fill out the immigration form or just only the passport? We only have been to Cancun so many times but not Los Cabos area, just wondering if the process is the same with Cancun now which they only ask for passport at immigration. Thanks
Hi Tea Lover! Yes this is correct - arriving by air into Mexico, you no longer need the FMM (immigration form). It's all just passport and electronic forms, so it's way easier. When we landed, there were no other planes that had just landed, so we went straight to the front of the line - lucky too, because a bunch got to Passport control after we'd already lined up & it filled up very quickly! Just depends how many planes are landing at the same time as you... (you can check on FlightRadar or the airport website)
@@ChristineTurner oh that is good to know. We just loved it when Cancun airport stopped requiring the FMM, even with long lines from many planes landed, it took us 20 minutes to get through custom. Thank you so much . Just booked our trip for just me and my husband early in November. Hopefully the weather is good then๐
@@tealover4664 That's actually a really great time of year to travel. Essentially out of hurricane season and the weather isn't as hot as it is mid-year. Quite comfortable! Did you book the Riu CSL or Riu Baja?
@@ChristineTurner I booked riu palace. Booked both flights and hotels through Expedia and I didnโt see the adult only was available, only palace ๐
@@tealover4664 I hope you have a great time!!
If I were to stay at the palace how far of a walk is it to the Santa Fe?
Hi Chad! Depends where your room is located but they are literally side by side. From either palace lobby to the pool party is maybe a 5 minute walk. Thereโs no shuttle or anything because they are all so close. Hope that helps!
Oops terra cotta and open lobby sorry
Nothing bout noise. Nothing about temperature of pool water or when you stayed. Grand kids are at the Santee fe. Access???
Hi Larry. What do you want to know about noise? Do you mean from the other resorts? Pool party? Noise in the rooms from neighbouring guests?
Pool water was typical - cold at first but not so cold that you couldn't spend lots of time in there.
I stayed in March 2024.
If you're staying at any Riu in Cabo, you will have access to Santa Fe, just not for a la carte dinners, but you can go to any bar, pool, or buffet.
@@ChristineTurner I hear that building 7 is the best if you want to avoid loud noise from the rui party area. Thatโs my assumption.
@@ChristineTurner thank you.
@@ChristineTurner thank you. I notice after looking at review after review no one ever mentions when they are there.
@@larrydawson2580 Well I always say I was there recently, which, in my mind, means within the past few weeks but I do know that some people can be 3 or more months behind in their editing, so their 'recent' trip definition is more like 'in the last few months'.
Where are kids allowed. No mention!
Hi Larry. Kids are allowed at Riu Santa Fe and, if staying at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas, they are allowed throughout that resort as well.
No mention of what beer is served. None.
Hi Larry. They had Tecate and Dos XX. Not sure what other brands they had but definitely had some light American beer.
