Had a weekend trip to Cabo. When I got to the property, I was impressed with how clean and nice everything was. The staff was excellent. The food was very, very good. It reminded me of the RIU in Madrid. Had a very European feel to it. Rooms were very, very nice comfortable and quite large. Only thing I wish is that I upgraded to an ocean view room. Oh, and the other thing is, there’s only one elevator that I saw in the front of the hotel. My room was actually downstairs and had a view of the Santa Fe hotel next-door. Can’t wait to go back. Elevator or no elevator I am still wanna stay here again.

I arrived on a Sunday, the resort was beautiful. Staff was really kind, the mimosas was refreshing. The food was good, I really liked the breakfast buffet and Pepe’s was my favorite eating spot. It was always something to do, wasn’t overcrowded. Plus beautiful views. I highly recommend this resort.
