This is exactly why I booked Riu Palace Baja California, the access to the other resorts. Thanks for your review! I’m looking forward to my trip 💃🏾

Hi Peter! Exactly this! This is why this whole complex is so great - so many different styles - it's really easy to find the one that you like. And I just cannot shut up about that courtyard pool area. Such eye candy!!

Hi. Love your videos. How far is downtown to walk and browse shops?

@ChristineTurner 13 күн бұрын

Hi Sandra! It’s walkable but slightly dodgy as you’re walking along a sandy road which vehicles use as a shortcut and if it rains, you might get washed away. That said, the walk is about 45-50 mins or you can Uber from the gates of the resort to downtown in about 7 minutes and it’s cheap as chips. ($4-6). When are you going?

@ChristineTurner I was looking at august but haven't decided for sure. Disappointed about the beach.

@ChristineTurner 12 күн бұрын

@@sandramartinez7127 Hi Sandra! Yeah it sucks that you can't swim here but you're about a 45 minute walk to Medano beach (or same as above for Uber) and you can absolutely swim there! I was there in August several years ago & it gets crazy hot. I think I'd be spending a lot of time at the courtyard pool at the Riu Santa Fe because it's a massive pool so it won't heat up as fast and there's more palm trees for shade. Have fun!

If I were to stay at the palace how far of a walk is it to the Santa Fe?

@ChristineTurner 14 күн бұрын

Hi Chad! Depends where your room is located but they are literally side by side. From either palace lobby to the pool party is maybe a 5 minute walk. There’s no shuttle or anything because they are all so close. Hope that helps!

@tealover4664 4 күн бұрын

Oh and one more question: When you arrived at airport , how bad and how long is the immigration line? Do you need to fill out the immigration form or just only the passport? We only have been to Cancun so many times but not Los Cabos area, just wondering if the process is the same with Cancun now which they only ask for passport at immigration. Thanks

@ChristineTurner 3 күн бұрын

Hi Tea Lover! Yes this is correct - arriving by air into Mexico, you no longer need the FMM (immigration form). It's all just passport and electronic forms, so it's way easier. When we landed, there were no other planes that had just landed, so we went straight to the front of the line - lucky too, because a bunch got to Passport control after we'd already lined up & it filled up very quickly! Just depends how many planes are landing at the same time as you... (you can check on FlightRadar or the airport website)

@tealover4664 3 күн бұрын

@@ChristineTurner oh that is good to know. We just loved it when Cancun airport stopped requiring the FMM, even with long lines from many planes landed, it took us 20 minutes to get through custom. Thank you so much . Just booked our trip for just me and my husband early in November. Hopefully the weather is good then😃

@ChristineTurner Ай бұрын

Hi Larry. What do you want to know about noise? Do you mean from the other resorts? Pool party? Noise in the rooms from neighbouring guests? Pool water was typical - cold at first but not so cold that you couldn't spend lots of time in there. I stayed in March 2024. If you're staying at any Riu in Cabo, you will have access to Santa Fe, just not for a la carte dinners, but you can go to any bar, pool, or buffet.
