    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    This adults-only hotel in Cabo San Lucas racks up four pools – two with swim-up bars – and its own private section of sugar-coloured beach.

    Thanks to its four pools and a jumbo list of restaurants, you’ll need a good excuse to leave. However, if you’ve got exploring in mind, you’ll be able to drive into the colourful centre of Cabo San Lucas in 15 minutes.

    This place is plonked right on the seafront, so expect spot-on ocean views from many of the swanky suites. Up-to-the-minute interiors and a swish spa are also part of the package.

    While you're away, you'll have access to our 24-hour digital service, with a virtual rep.

    Horrible stay- ended up leaving to check into another hotel

    I usually don’t write reviews but this hotel was so bad that I had to review it to warn others!!! I’ll make it as concise as possible...My family and I stayed at this hotel. Not only were workers cooking with their hands (no gloves) the food was terrible. I understand meals at all inclusive hotels won’t be too superb but it should be at least edible! Most ingredients for meals were frozen (fish, steak, shrimp you name it). Meals at their Avocado restaurant & buffet were extremely salty and dry. The buffet food was rather cold and workers would flip pancakes with their hands, take tortillas and offer it to guests with their hands...NO GLOVES or serving utensils...during an outbreak of a virus?! My family and I complained to the management staff but nothing was done so we left and checked into another hotel. The rooms were ok (beds had a very thin sheet practically slept on a mattress). The perks of being at an all inclusive hotel was not worth it. Overall, save your money or check into another property. This hotel has lots of issues!!! I agree with the folks that rated this hotel poorly.
    Great time

    Just returned after 2 weeks holiday at the palace Baja,this hotel is very clean we had a great time ,the staff do a great job in making your holiday ,the entertainments team are the best by keeping you busy with different activity’s all day long,also evening shows are well worth watching.The rooms are large and very clean with a separate bath and large walk-in shower. Food was ok but a bit repetitive and could be better in all the restaurants, a big thanks to the chef for doing a fresh paella for us at the snack bar. It was nice seeing the whales from the pools side the out look from the hotel was stunning,also a big thanks to sue the Tui rep for looking after us and booking the trips( with Cabo adventures the guides are very good)we can definitely recommend swimming with the whale sharks. And If you do go down to the marina go to Captain Tony’s bar day or night the food is very good and large portions also good value. A big thanks to all the hard working staff and hope that the hotel gets up and running again soon after this terrible out break
    Perfect!!!

    Words cannot express our satisfaction during our stay. It was almost a “perfect” vacation!!! You would have never known that the rest of the world was turned upside & in such turmoil. This hotel was the clean, modern and the food & service were phenomenal. Our room was always clean, well stocked and everyone was so friendly. Emmanuel & Aldo were our servers at the buffet every morning and they were full of smiles and laughs each day! Our mimosas were never out! I can’t tell you what was restaurant was the best because we enjoyed them all and sometimes we’d have dinner at one and enjoy dessert at another. You name it, they had it! Down at the pool, Oliver would come around with his cart and make us drinks and the massage staff were around to give you a 5-10 minute chair massage as well. Again, everyone was happy and just went above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I know the numbers were down at the resort because of people being frightened of the Coronavirus, but honestly I felt safer there than I do here. People were cleaning EVERYTHING and not once did I feel that my health was being jeopardized in any way. We had a room with a view and everyday I could see the famous arch, boats, parasails, hear the waves & people enjoying life. We are so looking forward to going back and hopefully, God willing it will be next year. We also took taxis down to the Marina and enjoyed whale watching and snorkeling. I’ve been to many all inclusive resorts, but Rui Baja was incredible. Thank you for all your hard work and for making our vacation so memorable. ~kim, tom, beth & darrin Green Bay, WI
    Los Cabos Riu

    The 3 Riu’s share one huge property. The Riu California Baja, Riu Palace and Riu Santa Fe. Guests can use the amenities and pools at all 3. The Riu California Baja is the nicest and newest of the 3. The buffets have a huge selection of good food and A la Carte restaurants are plentiful. The beach is nice to look at, but lots of pushy vendors there. The sand is not soft and the ocean gets deep fast !
    A very pleasant stay for a first timer...

    Want to go to a getaway play and stay out of the crowd for a week and this is exactly what we anticipated. First time to Cabo San Lucas and not disappointed at all. Hotel is very nice, there is a reason why Baja California is more expensive than the rest of the two sister hotels because it IS nicer. A special shout out to Itzel, Emmanuel and Aldo in the buffet restaurant. The trio are extremely nice and friendly and with superb memory. After the second day they already remember what we like to drink as soon as we sat down. Amazing service! In fact, the foods are great in all of the restaurants. The only complaint is the housekeeping staff talk quite loud in early mornings. We want a relaxing stay, being woken up by the staff in the morning is a bit intimidating. Hence the 4 star rating.
