Cabo San Lucas Playa Barco Varado Hotels

"The big pools are amazing. Food was good but not consistent, but we liked Tiki tacos the best. Entertainment shows could be better. Our stay was pleasant overall, thanks to all hard working employees at Riu. "

"This resort was honestly everything you can think of when you say ALL INCLUSIVE, staff was extremely friendly, polite, and respectful. All amenities were great and all restaurants were delicious specially ROSATO. Great resort, thank you so much! "

"The hotel is beautiful, and we were very happy with our room and ocean view. Seeing baby whales from our balcony was an unforgettable highlight. The spa facilities are also excellent and well worth visiting. However, the massages are overpriced. While mine was enjoyable, it did not justify the high cost. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again. The check-in process took around 90 minutes and included being pushed to attend a hotel tour, which turned out to be a sales presentation. We were told it would last 90 minutes, but it took three hours, which was frustrating as we value our time while on holiday. Dining was also an issue. We were not informed in advance that restaurants required bookings, so we could only secure late dinners at 8pm each night, despite restaurants not appearing full. Service during the day was slow, especially for lunch and drinks, and at times we felt overlooked. The food was average. The hotel advertises a private beach, but there is no ocean access, which should be clearer. Overall, while the property is lovely, there are significant issues with service and transparency. For us, it was not worth the time, and we would not return."

"It’s one of the prettiest hotel setting I’ve stayed at. The service is very good. It’s all inclusive for about 150$ per person per night. Which is very expensive. The good quality was great. There is a hard time share press when you arrive. Just say no. "

"We had an amazing vacation. This property is stunning and the food was delicious. Not your average “all inclusive”. We were able to whale watch from one of the many pools with ocean views every day which was an added bonus. The rooms are spacious, multiple restaurants to choose from with lots of different options and the grounds are kept immaculate. Highly recommend. Also shout out to the entertainment staff Galilea, Evelyn, Raziel, Miguel & Natalie who kept our kids entertained and some other honorable mentions who went above and beyond: Jonathan (club side), Noe, Ignacio and Eduardo. "

"This resort needs better food and service time. For a resort as beautiful as this I was expecting a much better food experience. Things sounded super extravagant in the menu and then you would get your food and it was a huge let down. I have a pretty easy to please palate but I would not go here again based on the food and wait times for poolside service. Especially when you pay over $200usd per adult if you do all inclusive. Of you don’t do all inclusive the prices are insane. We could have gone to Europe for what we paid in Mexico. Unfortunate. "

"We absolutely loved our stay, view was spectacular, accommodation had everything we needed. If we had any questions or issues it was addressed immediately. We will be back. Thank you so much for assisting us in such a great vacation."

"Dream vacation in every way"

"Room (2bdrm) was very nice and spacious with a full size jacuzzi on a large balcony. They had a really nice charcuterie board and good bottle of wine waiting when we arrived! Restaurant downstairs was pretty good, highlight was the ice cream which was amazing. It has an ocean view but it’s not oceanfront, probably the only downside we found. But great for families based on the size of the room. Would return."
