I had a pleasant stay overall and really enjoyed the hotel. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the accommodations were comfortable. However, the check-in process took about half an hour, which felt very long after a tiring flight. Also, when ordering late-night room service, the food that was given was not good and was very stale. Other than that, everything else was enjoyable, and I would rate my experience an 8.6 out of 10.

Great and beautiful Resort

We had an amazing time at Riu Baja. The cleaning is amazing. The only disappointed is when we went to have dinner at the sister Riu Palace on their steak house. We got there at 6.50pm and they didn’t tell us that the Riu Baja guess is just allound at their buffet. The service just let us waiting until 8.45pm and than he told us that we are not allound to eat there. So rude!! He end it up let us in, but we felt really discriminated! Really need to be address. Other than that horrible experience, everything was great!

Hotel room could be cleaner. I saw a stained pillow like a pen mark. I hold high standards when it comes to cleaning. Floor level rooms are the ones with a little bugs. I saw cockroaches inside the complex at night, not in the room. Overall great
