Riu Palace Baja California Tour
Adults-Only All Inclusive Resort with Nightlife
Hey everyone, Angie from Trips with Angie here! Welcome to the final installment of my Riu Cabo series. Today, we're exploring the Riu Palace Baja California, the adults-only, all-inclusive option in the Riu Cabo complex. If you're looking for a kid-free getaway with easy access to nightlife, this might be your perfect Cabo escape.
Elite Club Luxury:
We start our tour with a look at the Elite Club Junior Suite Ocean Front. This upgraded room offers a beautiful bathtub, a private shower, and enhanced amenities like upgraded alcohol and a well-stocked mini-fridge. Elite Club guests also enjoy perks like a welcome beach bag and access to a private lounge with premium drinks and snacks.
The balcony offers stunning views of the Sea of Cortez and the iconic Arch. You can even spot cruise ships anchoring in the bay.
Resort Layout and Amenities:
Riu Palace Baja California is located right next to the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas, with the Riu Santa Fe just a short walk away. Guests of the Baja have access to all the amenities and restaurants at the other two resorts, giving you a wide range of options.
The resort features a 24-hour lounge with self-serve drinks and snacks, a small spa offering massages and facials, and a theater area that hosts nightly entertainment. While the nightlife is more lively at the Riu Santa Fe (with its foam parties and disco), Riu Palace Baja offers its own share of fun with live music and shows.
