Thnks. .❤. I have a query that does the speciality restaurants are included in all inclusive. Or just the buffet. And id there asian / indian food,,

@OliviaG Жыл бұрын

No problem. Ask me anything! The speciality restaurants are INCLUDED but it's first come first served entry--- meaning you may not get in if you don't line up REALLY early. Does that make sense? :) Let me know!

@vijayjayaraman5990 Жыл бұрын

Does this have all inclusive? Do you also get access to the Riu Palace restaurants on an all inclusive? Thanks

@OliviaG Жыл бұрын

If you choose to stay at the Riu Santa Fe, it's only all inclusive for the Riu Santa Fe Hotel. You can visit the other nearby hotels but there are limitations. The rules may change but that was my experience from a few months ago :)

@MAALEMAN1025 Жыл бұрын

Are you able to go to the other Riu Hotels with the all-inclusive package?

@OliviaG Жыл бұрын

Yes, but there were some restrictions with this particular one. Like you can go and visit but you couldn't eat over there (or something like that, I can't remember exactly). We planned to tour the others but in the end we just used their beaches and didn't go explore the resort. But if you booked via the other hotels you had all inclusive access to all 3. Just double check that online in case rules have changed. Hope that helps and have fun!

For the neon party should you look nice or dress to be in the pool.

@OliviaG 7 ай бұрын

I would be prepared to get wet. So either you'll be going in the pool (and can plan accordingly) OR sometimes you'll get some bubbles/water/ wet people bumping into you. haha! If you are worried about getting something damaged when wet, I'd avoid it :) Also wear good shoes because it gets slippery quick

@Stfuorfku Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your guide! Everything you showed and said was very helpful and knowledgeable. My only question is ; off resort is there any danger or risk you felt? As a tourist outside it is risky right.. but what you’ve showed made it seem like they are wonderful and kind people! (Is it maybe because your S/O is Mexican?)

@OliviaG Жыл бұрын

Hey! Although I didn't go off the resort alone, I did go shopping on my own a few times while my boyfriend was either waiting outside or by the water. At the marina, there are a TON of tourists and people so I personally found that area very safe. I do suggest when you leave the resort to make sure you either have data (to call an uber) or just the ability to look things up/translate/call the hotel if you need more guidance. I have travelled all around Mexico and found Cabo very much like California. Perhaps the only time I would have felt lost without my boyfriend and/or worried is when in a cab/uber with a driver that doesn't speak english but then again.... everyone we encountered spoke some English. So my overall experience is everyone was very welcoming and if you even attempt to speak Spanish, they appreciate it SOOOO much! :) Hope that helps!

I need to know if there's shows ,how's the room cleanliness, and how to get to the main cabo Scooby-Doo cave

@OliviaG 8 ай бұрын

Shows were good, hopefully you got to see that in my video a bit haha. I would say above average for an all inclusive. Lots of interactive games before the shows too (which were so much fun!) The room was okay. Nothing to complain about (...and I am picky haha). We did have 2 nights were there was no hot water, but I think it was a fluke and not a common issue. Anything you need more within the room, they provide pretty quickly (ie extra towels/soap/etc). As for how to get around places, there are tons of help desks that can guide you to where you need to go :)

Olivia, I am considering staying at the RIU PALACE BAJA CALIFORNIA, which is an "Adults Only" all-inclusive. However, I just checked rates for May 2024 and they are considerably higher (Almost $300.00 per night for a Single Adult being charged Double Occupancy ) .... than the RIU Santa Fe. QUESTION: Do you think the additional cost is worth it?? Thanks in advance.

@OliviaG 7 ай бұрын

I personally really enjoyed my time at the Riu Santa Fe so I would not have paid more to be in an Adults Only resort. The resort is huge and I think you'll be more than okay. But ultimately that's up to you. Either way you'll have a blast

Is this resort a CRAZY party? We don't mind a party but is it crazy? Also what about the food, very low end?

@OliviaG 8 ай бұрын

This was my first time in a long time back at an all inclusive and I personally loved the food. I have been to resorts where I just ate the same thing day in and day out but here it wasn't the case! So my personal opinion on food is that it's amazing here. All depends on your expectations though haha As for the resort being a CRAZY party- I mean there are areas where it was but that was in a particular section of the resort and overall lots of families were around and they manage the noise by cutting the parties off at the designated hours.

What other excursions did they have at the marina? I’m going in March & you said it’s better to book at the marina rather than the hotel. Please tell me the other excursions & where at the marina can I book them?

@OliviaG 6 ай бұрын

Hey!! Oh you're going to have so much fun!! Keep in mind that I went a year ago so I don't remember all the details (esp on excursions) but when you go to the hotel they will be showing you all the available excursions. It's at this point where you will know what to look for when you get to the marina....because it's exactly the same haha!

@OliviaG 6 ай бұрын

Also at the marina you wont be able to miss them. 80% of the time people will come up to you telling you about the excursions. So just ask 2-3 people and go with the best deal. Just make sure they are with a "company" so it's legit. One of the ones we booked had a office in the marina mall (but I can't remember any names at this point). Don't rush, take your time deciding and bargain.

I have questions about the excursions .. this might come across wrong but in not way do I mean it in a negative way but, .... how do you know which excursion to pick and choose from mainly based on safety? I know theres a whole bunch but how were u confident to choose one over the other .

@OliviaG 4 ай бұрын

@@hillarypham4409 hey hey!! I'm still gonna stand with my last comment from 2 months ago and encourage you to go with a "company" so it's legit VS just people on the side selling tickets. You'll be able to tell the difference with their uniforms and brochures. As for which one to pick, it's up to you. It's helpful when you go to the resort to ask around what other people have done and this way you get a first hand RECENT experience. As for safety, I hear you but I was travelling with my bf (who's Mexican) so I didn't worry about that part haha so I may not be the best person to advise on that end. I let him lead and I'm not sure what his thought process was as he was communicating in Spanish.

@OliviaG Жыл бұрын

This is primarily a family resort (if I had to categorize it) so you should look into the other 2 Riu's that are literally right next door. Santa Fe has a great party section, but outside of those parties it's quite mellow (from what I observed). If you book with the other Riu you will still have access to the party zone here at this resort too. Kind of like an all access pass. Whereas, if you book your stay at the Santa Fe then you won't have access to the other Riu's. I'm pretty sure one of them is adults only too. Worth looking into. Hope that helps!
