"Let's start with positives. The buffet is actually really good. And far better than the restaurants which is also a negative. But for real, the buffet is excellent. Drinks are good. Not watered down like Cancun all inclusives. The pool area is great. Plenty of room, clean pools and great bars.
The negatives: the restaurants are not very good at all. The Steakhouse Filet was the toughest piece of steak I've ever tried to cut and it's supposed to be just the opposite. The dinner rolls were stale as hell. The general staff are very helpful but front desk management is not at all and are actually arrogant.
I know TV is not a priority on vacation but here and there when you're just trying to relax for a minute or just want to catch a little TV, doing to at RIU is a ridiculous challenge. You have to cast from your own phone and that's not nearly as easy as it should be. The remote is janky and doesn't always work.
This resort is a mid priced resort, on the upper end of mid priced and to be honest, that is too high. You do not get what you pay for. Over all Cabo was a blast. Downtown and the marina are great. But this report needs to take any negative reviews and really listen. Also, when I booked our room it was supposed to have a garden view. I called ahead of time to ask for a king bed with garden view. They game us one across the hall with a view of a dirty vacant lot then said that's what we booked. And did nothing to resolve it"
