I love Riu Baja, is fun and never bored.
If you like music and fun parties, you’ll enjoy staying here. If you’re looking for a quite and relax hotel this might not be for you.

This is a beautiful property which is very well kept and provides excellent service. The pool areas are nice with many umbrellas but sometimes difficult to find shade. If you venture to the beach you will be continually harrased by outside vendors. The beach is clean but difficult to walk since your feet sink into the sand. The ocean is not swimmable due to the strong current. There are many options for dinner and a couple for lunch. The daily and nightly entertainment was good. Itvwas nice having an all adult hotel. Overall a very good all inclusive hotel close to downtown Cabo.
