Ranches in Los Cabos

"Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Riu Santa Fe. This was our first time at this Riu and we were fully aware that there was no top shelf alcohol and that the food was basically all buffet style with the exception of two restaurants, both of which had fairly basic menus. But the food was not bad, just not fantastic. The resort was kept extremely clean and it was huge so there was always something new to do or see. I'd suggest avoiding spring break time as the young kids that overtook the resort on the last day of our trip were outrageous. The beach was beautiful and the view was spectacular. The staff were great for the most part. Dessi at the pool bar Tequila was a blast! And Reyna at reception made sure we got the most beautiful view from our room. The only negative experience was that when we went to check out 10 mins before our shuttle arrived, there was a long line and then we were told that since we didn't have our towel cards we'd have to pay 7.00 per towel even though our towels were in the room. We were never told at check-in that we'd need to return the towel cards and we didn't even think about it. So my husband had to run back to our room, which was 10-15 mins from check-out to bring her the physical towels to avoid being charged. While I was waiting for him to get back I saw the same thing happen to 2-3 other families. So that communication at the time of check-in needs to be made more clear. Otherwise it seems semi intentional to force people to pay "

"Nice clean property well maintained "

"The property is stunning and relaxing. The pool was easy to find and very nice to lounge by. The spa and amenities are great as well."

"We stayed for one week, and honestly, I would NOT recommend this place to anyone considering it. I read the reviews before arriving and thought they might be exaggerated, but unfortunately they were not. The staff service was poor, there was mold in the bathroom, and we were even given the wrong room at first. The food was so bad that I actually got sick and couldn’t eat for two days. Making restaurant reservations on your own is almost impossible because the front desk is not helpful at all. Guests wake up as early as 4 a.m. to place towels and personal belongings on the pool chairs to reserve them, so good luck finding one later in the day. There is also only one pool bar with a single bartender. We ended up eating out for almost every meal. For us, this was a one-time experience—never again."

"It is a newer property with lots going on. There was a band during the day at the main pool. There was activities on the beach in the evening. "

"Really good place to go "

"This resort was absolutely amazing to us. My group and I are college students that went for our spring break in march. It’s the perfect mix of being able to cader to all age groups. There was a club upstairs every night that made the resort more hype for us, but during the day it was never over crowded and perfect for just tanning, drinking, music, and poolside games. The events like white party & casino night really diversified the resort as well with changing up what we could do. The best part was the way the resort was structured, having it built into the mountains made the terrain stunning, and looking over all of Cabo was so beautiful. The food also blew us away, never something too bland. One thing I will say is to look into what package you are purchasing, we got the VIP “gold wrist bands” unknowingly, but we’re thankful we did because the blue wristbands restricted a lot of alcohol options & the adult pool. But nonetheless I cannot wait to return to the Sandos resorts in the future!"

"I will never go back to any Solmar resort nor to Cabos. First we were “upgraded” to some mold smelling room at the back side of the resort, at the street side. Unacceptable, so we went back. Our original room was in renovation, so we got for one night another room and had to move the next day to yet another room. A bad start. Those two rooms were nice and large. About 30% of the place is in renovation. Extremely strict smoking rules, not even a corner in the resort you could smoke. Not allowed to swim in the ocean, which is one thing. But the moment you’re on the beach, close the water, they already come running and screaming after you and treat you disrespectfully like you’re a child. Moreover, no potable water in room, no bottles, nothing. We could buy a bottle for $9 USD every day. The resort and Cabos altogether is abusively expensive and it doesn’t feel Mexican at all (no mariachi, hardly any Mexicans, for 90% American tourists), way too American. The location however is beautiful and breathtaking! But I’ll never go back there. Mexico has so many better places to enjoy."

"This resort is absolutely beautiful. Quiet and away from the party scene of Cabo. We were offered an upgrade which we took ( and paid for ) but it enabled us to use a separate part of the hotel. So we were never fighting for a chair. I do just wish when you booked that it was made apparent that there is a whole section and pool which is not available to you if you don’t upgrade. Having said that the restaurants and wine etc are top notch ! Better than most all inclusives I’ve stayed in . Would come again "
