Riu Palace Baja California was a well maintained resort. They seemed to almost overstaff their restaurants so that you were always able to get something immediately if you needed, which was very nice. However, if you’re looking for a “quiet getaway” this is NOT it. They provide nightly entertainment at their main stage or at the Riu Sante Fe next door, which you have access to, and play loud music at the pools throughout the day. It’s fun at times but listening to blaring music 15 hrs a day gets a little annoying. That being said, I stayed in an Elite Club Junior Suite which overlooked the pools, and was very close to the stage, and the room was satisfyingly sound proof. It wasn’t completely sound proof, but the structure was built with loud noise in mind. So it was manageable for the week I was there. Unfortunately there’s no swimming due to the strong current and immediate drop off in depth, but you can walk a half mile down to the right and find shallower swimming. I walked all the way to the marina, which was about 4 miles round trip via the beach. Bring sunscreen if you’re planning on doing that! The town and boardwalk there was probably the best part of my stay. Lots of shopping, lots of food, lots of restaurants, including Cabo Wabo, Happy Endings, Senior Frog, etc.

The check in process was just ok, they advertise a welcome drink upon arrival and we were not greeted at all. But, Let me first start that the property is really clean and very beautiful. The Pool area however was the most disgusting thing ever. I was there from Sunday -Saturday and I only seen them clean the pool once in that time frame. Needless to say we did not hang out by the pool at all. Which this was a selling point for us. Some of the wait staff was rude and quite disrespectful. This was a adult only resort and the bars closed at 11pm the shows were not good at all almost every day was Karaoke night. They had someone playing the flute, and piano on a adults only resort? I am sorry but maybe they meant senior citizen resort only. NO DJ. nothing, the resort next door was a family friendly and they had a 24 hour sport bar, a night club, pool parties and all of the excitement was all at that resort. Their night shows production was soo much better then at Baja. I was very disappointed I would give this property over all a 1 star 2 for the fact that it is a really nice property. I would not stay here again,

We stayed at RIU Palace in Baja for a week and, unfortunately, the food was the most disappointing part of the experience. The buffet lacked variety, with the same dishes being repeated daily, and many were bland or overcooked and you could taste the recycled oil in most of their dishes . The advertised ‘gourmet dining’ didn’t live up to expectations; the steak restaurant, for example, served steak and seafood that was under-seasoned and showered in oil and butter . But the worst was the Asian Sofia restaurant, you couldn’t taste anything but salt and oil . There were very few or none options for vegetarians, and what was available seemed like an afterthought. This was especially frustrating as food was one of the main reasons we chose an all-inclusive resort. On the bright side, the service was great, but the food definitely needs improvement to match the resort’s promises. Definitely they need to revised and work on the food
