Perfect Pool Parties

“The pool scene at Riu Santa Fe is one of the highlights of my stay! The pool parties were truly lovely, featuring great DJs and lively crowds. Each pool had a different vibe; I loved the swim-up bar and the infinity pool atmosphere. The activities throughout the day kept everyone entertained, which made lounging by the pool such a fun experience!” view full review

Fun Water Park

“Traveling with kids was made easy thanks to the on-site water park. It was fantastic to see my children having so much fun! The separate kids' water park kept them entertained for hours while I could relax by the nearby pools. The well-thought-out design ensured that there were safe areas for children to play while I could keep a watchful eye on them.” view full review

However, the dining experience was quite disappointing, with food that didn’t sit well with us and poor drink options. The atmosphere is lively, which might appeal to younger travelers looking to party. Overall, the beauty of the resort and the good staff made up for some serious drawbacks in food and drink quality.
