Parents Gone Wild

While the resort is nice and the ocean front room was beautiful. This is most definitely a PARTY RESORT. Adults getting wasted all day long. People bringing personal speakers with various music blasting from all different angles. Adults saving their towels from the day before just to go down and...

Best value we have found

This is a well run meticulously kept resort. Staff is friendly and responsive and service is top notch. The food could compete with many higher priced resorts. The steak house manager seems very proud of the service his restaurant provides. We have done a dozen of these type of resorts...

Terrible experience

This is the worst place we have ever been. Don't even bother booking here. Been to other Riu but this one got the worst service. FERNANDO and JAVIER are the most disrespectful staff in this resort. Such a bad experience. Carla the public relations didn't really do anything but apologies....

Terrible Service

I have visited this hotel twice, once in 2019, and again in March of 2025 so I feel I can genuinely describe how sub-par our experience at this hotel was. The “complimentary” airport shuttle is a contracted 3rd party service that can only depart the airport with a full bus....

Solid 4*

Rooms: This is where Riu Baja earned a 4 for me. Open concept (fine for couples just noted no privacy). Bed was super soft, so anytime you moved, your partner felt it, too. The shower was warm, but only hot enough for a decent shower 1 of 7 nights. Use...

Loud 20 and 30 somethings not a place to relax!

We paid a lot of money to listen to loud 20 and 30 somethings yelling and hooting and playing loud speakers...at all hours we thought we were going to an all adult resort and paid extra but think this resort was one of the worst resorts we have visited. The...
