This hotel has nothing to do. The only thing is a pool: NO activities, NO fun, NO beach. Traveling from the USA to be in a pool is not fun at all.
The hotel says "ADULT ONLY" and is full of stairs, which are not safe or comfortable for adults.
There is no cleaning protocol, in the buffet room, my husband (80-year-old) slipped on a wet floor with no sign. The worst thing is with a plate full of food in your hand.
In short, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT

I did not like the steak house,Your fillet mignon was dry along with your Lobster Tail.
The Shrimp cocktail was good,along with your fresh Bread.
I did not like your Mexican Restaurant,the fish tacos were Bad,too fishy
Your Chicken Enchiladas were good.
I also like the tortilla soup and your red ceviche,
Your Breakfast Buffet was the best,lunch options were okay.
I did enjoy your Asian Restaurant,enjoyed the variety,Also the spice and sauce were right on

The views were really nice as well as the staff. Drinks were really watered down which is expected from an all-inclusive resort. The buffet food and staff were very good. The restaurants were alright.

I did a solo vacation to Cabo, staying at Riu Baja. Overall, I felt safe, there were a ton of dining options for every taste, and it was very clean.
I don’t know that the staff was overly friendly at the front desk and the dining area, but they were pleasant.
Loved the spa.
