There was language barriers. But the staff was very nice and accommodating. They tried very hard to understand. I will say enough of them seemed like they didn’t really want to be there. But they were still willing to do their job. If that makes sense. I love the fact that they had the bottles of alcohol in the rooms. The spa was amazing. I didn’t really like the food.

We stayed at this RIU “resort” from Sunday, Dec. 22 through Friday, Dec. 27 and were put in a building that was 10-15 minutes from the restaurants on site. In addition, there was no elevator, and we were on the top floor. When we got to the room, the outlet in the bathroom wasn’t working. I went to call the front desk, and the phone wasn’t working either. Sadly, my adult daughter got food poisoning from something she ate Monday and had diarrhea and was vomiting all day Tuesday. The hamburgers at the pool grill were a strange salmon pink color…all of them. We steered clear since was sick the entire day before. Thursday, we went to the city and had the best food ever on the beach (not at the resort because we were afraid to eat there). After returning from the city, we went to the RIU Sante Fe Sports Bar. I was just about to get some corn chips, and my daughter stopped me just in time as she pointed to a roach which scampered directly under the chip warmer. I have a formal complaint to RIU. Will report back on their response.

Had a great time at the Riu Sante Fe. If you want a holiday of excessive eating and drinking or just a place to chill this resort has it all. Met nice people there and would come back for another trip. Only minor gripe was my kids room smelled really bad but they didn’t care and could have changed their room. Infinity pools with swim up bars are awesome. Water slides awesome. Food is ok, nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either. The parties are fun but almost all the same, white party was really fun tho. I can recommend this resort, great time for the money.
