Where we going Next? Great video! do you foresee any large negative impacts if visiting here in Nov 2020 with everything going on?
@@Stapes1527 Hey there, I don't have any facts, but I reckon there may be some limitations span into the Fall as well - at least social distancing protocols. For instance, there may be less freedom in buffets. Hopefully things go back to normal quickly and safely!!!
Thanks for the sub !! :)
I will be reserving a room at this resort for my destination birthday trip in August. THIS VID FINALIZED MY DECISION. Thank you for sharing!!!! (Sent this video to my group of girls as well)

Thanks for the tour. We are going in February! Can't wait.
That’s awesome !! Have a great time, remember to pack some warm clothing, Cabo gets cooler at night in Feb.
My wife and I will be there in two weeks! So excited!
Amazing !! Have a great time!! Check out Cheepo on the beach. He sells t-shirts for a great price!
This was the best tour!!thank you I was considering this location😍
It’s great! Plenty of what you need and the staff is very welcoming.
Thanks so much !! That’s very kind of you.

Going for NYE, thank you so much for all of the info. I was wondering about the a la cart restaurants and you answered my question!
You’re welcome ☺️! You’re going to have a blast during NYE. 🥳
We were just there for 9 days and this is by far the best tour of the property. The resort is great, Aldo is still there and is still the best waiter. They currently are adding another specialty restaurant (a Mexican one) on the corner at 20:40 next to the Japanese restaurant.
Thanks Joseph! Hope you had a good trip!
Very informative tour! Thank you!
You’re welcome ! 🙏🏻
This was a super healpful and great review!!! I'm heading here in March so this was perfect! Detailed but not annoying or boring

Great to hear! Have fun!
Great review thank you so much
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome video! We’re going in May
Thanks for watching !!👍🏻👍🏻 let us know if you have any questions!! ☺️
Looks like the resort has been redecorated since we were there last. My bff and I were there in 2017. Puerto Vallarta in 2018. Both are gorgeous! But I have to say that Cabo is my favorite. I live the dry desert weather.
Lee Squirrel yeah! This is a brand new resort : Baja California. It was great!!! Though I’d prefer Riu palace Cabo San Lucas. Better views!
Yea. They’re pretty much the same resort in the moving pieces.. food, entertainment. There palace Cabo San Lucas feels more palace’y. The Baja California feels more modernized. Different feeling. Still nice though. Baja is also a RIU palace category.
Great video! I'd love to visit this resort some day!
Thanks OVE - 😉
Do it!! ASAP it's heaven on earth!
Those pool loungers look so comfortable right now.
Take me backkkkkk......
I just booked my honeymoon at this resort, so this was extremely helpful!!! Thank you!!
Aww! Congratulations!!! Such happy news!! When are you getting married and visiting Baja California?
October of this year!
Alysa Kaiser again, congrats!! We also did a whale watching tour 🐳. You’ll have to check out the seasons and see if they’re in the area. It was incredible. Booked it through caboadventures.
thanks for the great tour :)
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to spend Christmas 2021 there.

We are booking this resort for March 2021 too!
@@yvonne0932 yay!! Enjoy your trip! We just got back from Tulum. It was very nice. If you have any questions about travel, let us know. Have fun!
Leaving cancun tomorrow to go to cabos! What color is the riu baja california wristband
@@freeaccount309 oh my gosh. Good question. I looked at some pictures of our trip, and it looks like it’s greyish blue.
Great Vid! You have a new subscriber.
vonslaught78 thank you! 🥰
Great video. I’m thinking about going when this 🦠 stuff clears up
Hey thanks for watching. You’d have an incredible time - and deserve an escape from isolation (when things settle down). If you have any questions about the resort, let us know! Stay safe out there friend !
Where we going Next? Thanks. How were the drinks? Were they watered down?
Mr Haha no, not at all. All our drinks were very good (and did the trick!!). You also have the in room liqueur dispenser, so if you do find you’re not getting enough, you can make up for it while back at the room. Lol. But honestly, never had a problem at a RIU.
your videos are so thorough and helpful. thank you!!
Thank you Cacti! Happy you find them helpful! 🙂
@@WherewegoingNext thank you for response :) one question for you! would you re-stay at riu baja california? I can't decide between riu baja california and riu palace san lucas. baja california looks nice and clean, it also has new concept to try. but resort itself looks kind of small. and I think riu palace san lucas has better view at the restaurants according to your videos. any advice for me?
Yes we would stay there again! We loved the rooms and the pools! And it’s the only RIU with heated pools which actually matters bc it gets cold at night and the pools stay cold. You can also visit the palace as much as you want 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext aww thanks again!!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Great video tour, thank you, we were there mid March 2020. Loved it.
That's awesome to hear - we must have just missed you - we left right at the beginning of March. I'm editing the tour for RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas right now - it's REALLY nice too. I think that'd be our choice next time we go to Cabo. Did you get a chance to visit??
Also, thanks for subscribing! We really appreciate it! :)
Where we going Next? Hi. We have stayed at both Riu Palaces as well as the Santa Fe. Prefer the Palaces. We were robbed at he Santa Fe. But overall we have stayed at 7 Rius. And it is a good choice. Thanks again for your great videos. You have a nice relaxing voice. Stay safe
@@thewilscott Oh no! We've encountered theft in our travels once before too - it's an awful feeling and put a dark mark on our trip.
Thanks for the compliment!
Which other RIUs have you been to??
Yes - you and you family stay safe too!
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks we dropped in to the Riu Palace Cabo when we were at the Palace Baja this year as they renovated.. We have stayed at. Riu Jalisco in Neuvo Vallarta, Riu Palace Cabo twice, Riu Santa Fe twice, Riu Republica in Punta Cana, Riu Palace Peninsula in Cancun and of course Riu Palace Baja. we really enjoy Cabo so nice and relaxing. Cheers from Calgary
@@thewilscott we are Riu fans.... which was your favorite Riu property????
Great Video
Thank you!! ☺️☺️
Good job!! I am sold!
🙌🏻
Hello, This was absolutely a phenomenal resort tour by far the best resort tour I have seen in a really long time and I'm also a CZcamsr that does resort tours and you helped me improve how I want to do my videos moving forward. So I just wanted to drop a comment, show you some support, and let you know you did an amazing job and definitely helped me to plan my next adventure!! Thank you so much for spending the time to put this together! You've got a new Subscriber!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 🙏🏻😊
Hello! What a wonderful and informative video! You brought a great point regarding the beach area, I had no idea about that! In a previous video you mentioned that you have to walk couple min to the lagoon to be able to swim. Did you find this inconvenient?
Ana Hioara it was very inconvenient. We only walked one day. We stayed in the pool mostly.
Thanks for the great video! Question, can you get food at the breakfast area or buffet and bring it back to your room?
Also what is a good amount to tip in pesos when being served?
Thanks, I’ll be making a solo trip here the first week of June!
Hey thanks!
My wife and I always take pastries and coffee back to our room and enjoy them on the balcony. We never had any problem. If anyone asks, just tel them you’re not feeling great and wanted to eat in your room! I was never stopped.
Thanks for the tour. Planning to stay at the Baja next April hopefully once this pandemic is over. Question. Is there a shuttle that goes from the Baja to downtown Cabo and back? If so how much would it be?
Michael Guerrero there’s isn’t a shuttle. There is public transit: bus and taxi. Very inexpensive to get to downtown and back. Arrange your fare before setting off in the taxi.
Thanks for the kind words !! More tours coming !! Sub and ring the bell to be notified when we post ! ☺️☺️
Just booked our honeymoon for this resort, super excited, your video was quite informative.
I do have one question, did you get picked up from the airport and taken back to the airport?
They didn't specify that when we booked
Yes, we booked a package through tripcentral.ca so it included transportation. You will have to check the details of the trip you booked to see if includes transportation, because it varies.
Thank you for taking the time to record and post this video! Quick question, are you able to go in the ocean to swim or snorkel?
You’re welcome !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 no one will stop you, but everyone will advise you not to because of the undertow. It’s very dangerous in front of the resort. You can walk about 15 mins down to the right, and there’s a beautiful public lagoon to swim in. Much more safe. 🙂
Where we going Next? Awesome, thank you so much!
Also , is it adults only
Yes. Baja California is Adults Only. 🙂
Thank you for this viedo. I will going tbis year 2022
That’s great, enjoy!
Thank you for the video! Very informative! Do you know if you can hear the ocean from the balcony of a ocean front room or are you too far off to hear it?
Yes, you might be able to hear it if the ocean is a bit rougher and the waves are bigger. We were there years ago right before a storm and the ocean was very loud lol!
Torontonian here, fantastic video, thank you! Do you remember if the bars served bottled beer or just draft, and do you know the difference between "ocean view" rooms and "oceanfront" rooms? Thanks in advance!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback 😊 they serve draft beer and beer cans at the bar, depending on availability. You will also have cans in your mini fridge in your room. Not too sure on the difference between ocean front/view. One of them might have a partial ocean view as opposed to full ocean view. The resort is shaped like a horseshoe, so the ocean view/front rooms will be a the very ends of the horseshoe facing the beach.
Awesome video. We're looking for honeymoon location and this video helped a lot.
Happy to hear that Mike! Congrats on your upcoming wedding! When are you planning on visiting Cabo?
@@WherewegoingNext we were looking to go in early September
@@fshcop That'll be a nice time to go. Hopefully things get settled down by then! :)
@@WherewegoingNext We're definitely hoping it does. But the prices we're finding are amazing right now
Thanks for the video I have to make a choice either this hotel or riu palace. Don't know yet
The RIU Palace Baja California and the RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas are both considered Palaces. The other one in between them is the RIU Santa Fe (not a palace). Both RPBC and RPCSL are pretty much equal in offerings and what you get. It's more so a matter of which one you aesthetically like better.
Heading there this weekend and found your video very informative. I noticed on the "a la carte" restaurants, they mentioned gentlemen not allowed to enter with shorts or short sleeve shirts. Did you find they enforced this pretty strictly? I can see no shorts but I wasn't planning to bring long sleeve shirts on our weekend trip.
My husband always wears short sleeved shirts to the ala cartes and never had an issue. Not sure about shorts 🤔 but he wore jeans or khakis with no issues 🙌🏻
Thanks for this! I have a few questions. I plan on going for my birthday in November. Debating on which to do between the three. More so leaning to Baja or CSL
1. How is the food and entertainment at Baja? Is there something to do every night?
2. From the review photos, are the bed and CSL close together? And not separated?
3. Are there a lot of activities to do such as paddle board/kayak etc?
Sorry if you answered these questions in the video. It’s a lot to take in and also just admiring the views lol Thank you so much!
Awesome place to spend your birthday mate!
1. Food is excellent, lots of selection. We did a buffet tour too, check that out to see selections. Yes there is always some entertainment in the evening at Baja. Sometimes it’s interactive, others times it’s just performers. Nothing crazy, but it’ll keep you busy.
2. Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by beds. Do you mean are they spaced out in the room? Are you looking for more space?
3. There’s certainly activities on shore, but the water activities are limited. This is because the waves and undertow are dangerous, so they recommend not swimming in front of the hotels. There’s a lagoon about 20 min walk to the right of the hotels (if you’re looking at the water).
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy !!!
@@WherewegoingNext thank you so much for replying! Last question 😅 do the pools close early? If so what time? And are you allowed to swim late if you want to? I just came back Jamaica, and even though the pools were “closed” guest were still allowed to late night swim (at their own risk aka without guards available) is this case here?
@@AkuaJB when we were there, pools closed around 7; in time for dinner. I think they prefer guests not swim at that time, too much hoolaginry and don’t want anyone to be a safety liability
Great vid! so when staying at riu palace are you allowed access to all sante fe pool partys, etc.?
Yes you can. We went to the pool parties at Santa Fe. They’re a blast!! Not sure if they’ve resumed them with Covid
@@WherewegoingNext ahh okay sounds great thankyou
Great vid. I’ve stayed at Santa Fe twice but taking a last minute solo trip this week. Do you recommend this hotel for singles?
For sure! It’a generally a great hotel overall! What is important for you during your stay?
Hi, I'm planning a solo trip in the next couple months and I was wondering if you guys would recommend Riu Palace Baja or Riu Palace Cabo for a solo traveler or if there's another all inclusive resort you would recommend. Please let me know thank you and great video!!!
Thank you!!! What are you looking to do at the resort? Party, relax w a book, meet people ??
@@WherewegoingNext Relaxing mainly but, maybe a party here and there as an option would be great
@@T.Hang11 either palace will be sufficient. If you want the party, head over to Santa Fe for a day/night. Baja California is more modern, Cabo Sam Lucas is more traditional. It’s just personal preference how you want to relax ! ☺️
I'm watching this in March 2021, and want to say thank you! This is a wonderfully detailed video; easy to watch, not jerky, very informative and helpful for someone like me who gets a little nervous traveling to a new place. A question, you said the water is not for swimming, but would you be able to go in to just your knees or waist? And as for the lounges by the pool or under the shade on the beach, do the staff monitor these at all? I know on a cruise they say that you can (after a few hours of non use) give the holding towels to a staff member and use the loungers. Also, you're showing the pool/beach early in the morning; wondering how crowded it gets mid-day? We're planning an October trip, and just seeing this video makes me want to go now. Subscribing and off to view more videos!
You're very welcome !! :) Thank you for the kind words! You can dip your feet/knees in. Even with that, as the waves go back out into the sea, you can feel a strong current on your legs. From what we observed, the staff do not monitor the towels. It's more of a first come, first serve kinda deal unfortunately. With that said, we never went without a spot. In terms of crowding, they have 4 pools which spreads people out nicely. The pool over by the steps is usually the most crowded as people like to socialize at that one. The other pools are more low key.
Thank you for the subscribe!!!! Much appreciated!! Have fun on your trip in October, let us know how it went!
Hi, my husband and I want to go to Los Cabos for our first anniversary and I was wondering which RIU do you recommend. Which one has the coolest activity’s, the best food, the better rooms ?
Awesome - congrats on your anniversary! You'll be fine in choosing either Palace (Baja California or Cabo San Lucas). Most of the rooms at Cabo San Lucas have an oceanview - whereas baja california you can get stuck looking out Santa Fe. Baja only has a handful of oceanview rooms. Both are comparable in terms of activities and food - so you'll be safe in that regard! We noticed the pools are heated at Baja California - much cooler at San Lucas. Either way - you're going to have a great time! :) :D Did you look into any excursions??
Where we going Next? No we haven’t, It would be our first time in Los Cabos, and I want to see the famous El Arco, and the turquoise blue sea, any recommendations? we are only staying 2 night (unfortunately).
If you’re just staying for a short time, leave the excursions for another time. You do want to relax after all. Just hire a water taxi to take you out to lovers beach and you’ll be able to enjoy the arch. Just an FYI, they can’t pull to shore, so you have to jump out and swim. It’s not a long swim at all, but wanted to mention that.
You mentioned that the beach outside the hotel is unsafe to swim in, does the other RIU locations in the area have a safe beach and do you get privileges to use their loungers or bars?
Shannon L not that I’m aware of. The lagoon about 15-20 mins to the right is the safest place to swim. Or lovers beach by the arch. That’s a good idea you mentioned though! Wish they had that
Great video, and question, how did you get from the airport to the hotel and vice versa if you didn't book through the hotel?
We booked a full package that included flights, hotel and transportation so it was all arranged for us. You can google Cabo airport shuttle or get a taxi/Uber to your hotel 👍🏻
Hi great video! My question is........due to COVID-19 are the beaches closed right now??
Ruby Martinez hmm 🤔 that’s a great question! Maybe someone local could answer that for us? Thanks for the kind words about our video! Hope you enjoy some others too! Don’t forget to subscribe for Riu Santa Fe and Cabo San Lucas videos coming out soon!! Have a great day!
Maybe thinking about going here solo in Feb 2024. I have been to Riu Peninsula and liked it. Was fun getting a tan etc. Would you say this resort is kinda like that? Same tanning etc etc. I see there isn't any swimming unless that was the other resort. The swimming issue wouldn't be a problem.
Yes, this resort is great for tanning and relaxing as well 👍🏻 you can’t swim in the ocean here, but the pools are great - and heated!!
I might have missed it, but do they have beach volleyball or pool volleyball at this resort? Or would we need to go to one of the neighboring rius? Do you know if they do activities like ‘crazy game’? Thank you for a great review!!
Yes they do have beach volleyball and various pool games throughout the day!
@@WherewegoingNext thanks for the reply, we booked for January last night. Looking forward to it!
That’s great! Hope you enjoy 😊 🙌🏻
Which Riu did you like best between Riu Cabo San Lucas and Baja California? I’m ultimately trying to decide Between the Rius versus the new Hard Rock. I like both.
That’s a hard choice. We stayed at Baja, but RIU CSL is very nice too. They’re both excellent in service, it more or less comes down to which decor and building you prefer. Baja is more modern, CSL is more traditional palace like.
@@WherewegoingNext I’m actually leaning Baja as well, but the one thing I have in my mind is the pool size. Was it manageable with crowd sizes when you were there? Also, you have great reviews man.
@@bradhay8605 thanks !!! Appreciate it! There is more than enough room. Especially being that the hotels are limiting tourists right now. There’s 4 pools that help spread out the guests !
Are the seated restaurants included? Or do you pay an additional fee?
Sara Khalil all the “a la carte” restaurants are included in your all inclusive package. No need to pay for extra food. ☺️☺️
Nice tour. Thank you. Headed there in March. Q Do they have standard North American receptacles @ 120 volt?
Yes, same as US and Canada 👍🏻
Great vid..... I'm actually going to be there Oct. 5th, which is the day they reopen. Booked Riu Palace Cabo Oct 5-12 but got an email yesterday saying that the Baja is reopening and if I choose to stay there, they'll give me a free room upgrade at no charge. So while it'll probably be empty the time I'm there, I'll have a Junior Oceanview Suite and probably free access to chairs and no waits at bars and restaurants...... I'm perfectly ok with that
Steven Ward that’s amazing !! Those ocean view rooms at Baja are really nice !! We did a tour video of it as well ok our channel. Have a great time !!! 🥳
Ok...soooo how would I go about booking for our stay? This all is a first. Also is this an all inclusive stay?
We usually choose an online vendor (e.g., Air Canada Vacations, Sunwing, Tripcentral - we're from Canada). This way we know our flight, accommodations, food, and transportation to/from the hotel is included. Check online for vendors in your country. Yes, it is all inclusive! Drinks and food are all included.
So I know pandemic limits everyone, but is this a couples type of resort? Would it be fun for bachelor party to go to?
Hello! You're always going to get better service and food at a Palace. If it's in your budget, stay here at Baja, but the parties will be over at Santa Fe. If you want to be in the action - stay at Santa Fe.
do they have shuttles between the different RIU resorts?
Not at these resorts. They’re so close together, that it’s a simple walk.
Can you use the facilities (Restaurants bars) at the other RIU resorts next-door?
Yup 👍🏻
Hello! thanks for the tour! staying here next month :) I wanted to know if it was easy accessing the other pools at the Riu Palace and Santa Fe? I believe that if I stay at the Baja, I am able to access the other Riu hotel pools. Also, if we do have access to those other pools, are there any issues with ordering drinks and getting some snacks? Thanks!
Sorry I'm replying so late! You're right, if you stay at the RIU Baja, you can access the other two resort pools and order drinks/snacks. No limitations. If you stay at Santa Fe, you're only able to stay at Santa Fe. Hope that still helps! :D
so do you access to the other sister resorts for free or is that an
additional charge ?
It’s free!!
Is there a limit on how many times you can eat at the restaurants? Also does anyone know what it’s like right now with covid? Are masks required? Do you still have a Buffett? I am hoping to book for April! Please help.
It’s still really nice. Doesn’t take away from the exp. you have to be ready for some guests not following the guidelines tho. Masks are required indoors and at buffets. Outdoors, they’re required if you’re not able to socially distance, it trust me, there’s lots of space. Buffets are cafeteria style, servers will get you your food when you tell them what you want. Just point and they’ll load it up. Employees are on a 24/7 mask policy, and they stick to it to a T. Resort is selling well under capacity to ensure guests aren’t crammed in. Tables at buffets are sanitized after each use. Hand sanitizer is everrryyyyywhere. Go for sure, you won’t be disappointed.
I’ll be making a specific Covid video in the next few weeks. Sub and you’ll be notified.
@@WherewegoingNext thank you so much! Is there a limit on the restaurants?
@@WherewegoingNext I also heard they don’t take debit cards or cash is that true?
@@yugohanna1138 ummmmm. I think we could have booked restaurants for every night. But that may have been specific to our travel provider Air Canada. Double check the small print in your package. It was so busy during New Years that we only managed to get into 2. Definitely do the Mexican - Tequila. It was great👌🏻
@@yugohanna1138 they definitely like cash! We exchanged from CAD to USD for tipping. What else were you thinking of purchasing? We used our VISA infinite for all other purchases at the shop, or souvenirs
Hey man…. Couple questions regarding the Riu’s
I am 25yrs old and would like to have a bit of a nightlife as well as some quite time… is it a good idea to book the palace California and walk over to the snate FE (how longs the walk)
I’ve read online that the palace’s shutdown around 10-11pm?
What would you recommend?
Yeah if you’re looking for nightlife, the RIU Palaces don’t have much in the evening. The Santa Fe is right next door.. maybe a 5-10 minute walk depending where you’re room is. If you want better rooms and more quiet during the day, we recommend the RIU palaces and you can visit Santa Fe anytime you want - but not vice versa.
@@WherewegoingNext I really appreciate the response and input, your videos helped out a ton!!!
Much appreciated
Steven,
So good to hear! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
QUESTION: Which adult only would you rate as the best overall, RIU Palace Baja California in Cabo or RIU Palace Las Americas in Cancun??
Hmm that’s a tough question! It all depends on what you value most in a vacation 🤷🏼♀️ Las Americas is right in downtown Cancun, so it’s super close to lots of entertainment, the beach is great, but it’s an older resort. Baja California is very new and modern, close to downtown Cabo, but the beach is not swimmable 🤷🏼♀️ they’re both great, just depends on what kind of trip you want.
What’s the best way to get from the airport to this resort?
We had a shuttle included in our package when we booked. The resort has a shuttle as well. There’s also ground transportation you can find via Facebook. Depending how you want to travel, there’s private or group transfers.
How is the food overall? Any good seafood? I might have missed this, but do they have premium liquor? Looks beautiful!
Hey Jenisha, thanks for your question. We found the food at Baja California excellent!! We both prefer seafood as our protein - and we never felt bored by the food. They have scallops, shrimp, calamari, octopus, and all kinds of fish (mahi mahi, marlin, tuna, etc. etc.).
Yes - they do have premium liquor, you just have to request it. They'll go for the cheaper stuff by habit.
@@WherewegoingNext what is considered premium liquor here?
Patron, Bacardi, beefeater not sure if that helps. Those are some I remember. We don’t typically check the liquors at resorts tho
@@WherewegoingNext which RIU in cabo has better food and an overall better experience would you say?
@@fetishspell RIU Palace Baja California and RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas pretty much have the exact same offerings for food. Food at Santa Fe will be a little inferior, just because it's not a "Palace"
Love your videos. Do you know what resort near here is located on a beach you can swim in?
Thanks for watching our videos! Sorry no, I’m not sure. The closer you get to downtown Cabo and the marina, the better the beach gets… so take a look closer to there 👍🏻
I will be there April 1st
Have a great trip!
Are there any elevators for garden rooms. I see there are 4 floors. How about room service?
Yes there are elevators near the lobby 👍🏻 yes they have room service as well 🙌🏻
Back in December...How is the vibe
Hmm not too sure. We visited in March. I wonder the same with Christmas and then New Years. Most be nice!!
Good morning what brands of beer are available at this resort thanks
Dos Equis and Sol
How much cost taxy from airport to the hotel? There a bus cheaper way to get there?
zafiro hilton we always book through a travel provider which included the bus transfer in the all inclusive package. Eg Sunwing, air canada vacations, transat holidays, weather, etc. (We’re from Canada)
Where we going Next? Is there have a extra cost?
zafiro hilton through the bookings we have done, it has been included. When you book, try to find a vendor that includes ground transfers directly to the resort.
I’m going for 4th of July
Goofed Diamond such a great idea!!! Maybe they’ll do some fireworks ???? 🤷🏻♂️
How was the WiFi there? I’m planning to work on my trip.
It was excellent 👌🏻
You promised to show us a sample room! Why we didn’t see it?
I gotcha … czcams.com/video/XLXbOyuOk-E/video.html
Hey! Great video! Only question is, does the buffet offer authentic Mexican foods? i.e: tacos ceviche?
Hey Cristian, thanks for the nice comment! ☺️. I’m not the best to say if something is authentic Mexican, but I do know they always have dedicated places for Mexican food. We did a full buffet tour video which I’ll link for you here: czcams.com/video/r-Z61lznzXE/video.html. Let me know if that helps!! 😃😃
Is the Riu with the pool slide near by? And were there any lizards? I love lizards. 😂😂😂
Yes, there is an area with slides by the main lobby. I don’t remember seeing many lizards 🤔 maybe a few small ones?
Would you recommend the Baja palace or riu palace? Married couple no kids
Do you mean RIU Palace Baja California over the RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas? Yes, the RP Baja California is adults-only and more geared towards couples.
Did you book through an app or at the hotel?
We always book through an online vendor. We’re in Canada so we use Sunwing.ca.
@@WherewegoingNext Figured you were from Canada when you referred to the utensils as cutilary.
@@lemar57 hahaha. You should watch one of our vlogs and see how many times we say “eh?” 😆
Does anybody has a Coupon Code for this hotel that we can use now?
I will greatly appreciate this.
No, sorry.
Can you get a good quality beef steak at the steakhouse as good as a USA steak prime cut
I don’t really know what quality of steak makes it excellent. From my experience with steakhouses in NA, the cuts in the all inclusive resorts aren’t the same calibre as back home.
Is the legal age to drink alcohol at the resort 18 ?
Yes. Legal drinking age in Mexico is 18
How was the breakfast Room Service?
There is some selection. But if I recall, it’s coffee, bread and preserves, and fruit. Not too much offered.
What is the party vibe here? We know Santa Fe is the "young party" resort, but we like this one more for the "adult" vibe, just want a bit of a party vibe here too.
There’s definitely an older crowd here.. and not much going on in the evening other than the evening show and drinking at the main bar 🤷🏼♀️ you could always pop over to the Santa Fe if your looking for more action
Some good some bad.... but all good!
Hows the reception and/or WIFI?
Great throughout 👍🏻
Which of the RIU hotels in Cabo would you recommend for young adults age 20
The RIU Santa Fe! It’s definitely got a younger, party crowd 👍🏻
Do you have access to Riu Santa Fe if you stay in baji palace
Yes 👍🏻 but not vice versa
@@WherewegoingNext would I be able to get drinks at the Santa Fe if I stay at the Baji califionia
Yes! If you stay at either of the Palace hotels, you can eat and drink at the Santa Fe as well 👍🏻
Does this resort play music ??
Oh yea!! Lots of English and Spanish top 40. They usually focus it to one pool and you can head to another pool for some more quiet. 🤫
Do you know if we can bring our own floaties?
Yes you can!
Awesome. We have our own inflatable lounge floaties. It’s not big but nice to have in the pool
Sounds great! Have a good trip!
What beers do they offer?
The one I clearly remember is Dos Equis. I think they also have Sol.
@@WherewegoingNext Thank you! I don't know why they don't have more beers available.
Is there a golf course close by?
I don’t know how close it would be 🤔 but Cabo is well known for its golf courses, so you’ll definitely find one in the area 👍🏻 you can check google maps
