SJD Taxi provides round trip airport transfers to the Hotel RIU Santa Fe All-Inclusive in Cabo San Lucas. You can choose private luxury SUVs, Escalades, vans, or Sprinters for groups, and we also offer budget friendly shared shuttle options for solo travelers and small parties. Every ride is handled in a newer, clean, air conditioned vehicle by a licensed, insured, bilingual driver who knows the RIU area well.
$25 Shuttle / $89 Private SUV Transfer
When you arrive at SJD or the Los Cabos Private Airport, your SJD Taxi representative will be waiting just outside the exit with your name on a sign and ready to help with your luggage. Hotel RIU Santa Fe sits about 45 minutes from the airport depending on traffic. Shared shuttles are available and are the most economical choice although they make a few stops along the way. If you want to get straight to the RIU without waiting or stops for other people, a private transfer is the fastest option.
Does Hotel RIU Santa Fe Los Cabos have a Free Airport Shuttle?
It depends on the booking. The Hotel RIU Santa Fe does offer a free airport shuttle service under certain conditions—typically when you book directly through the resort or via certain package deals.
If your reservation does not include that free transfer, then a paid private or shared shuttle is your best option to guarantee reliable airport transport. We track every incoming flight, meaning if your plane is delayed, we adjust automatically—no stress, no missed pickups. It’s easy to see why SJD Taxi is the go-to choice for travelers who want more than just a ride—they want peace of mind from the moment they land.

Yes, the beach at RIU Santa Fe opens right onto Medano Beach, which is the main swimmable beach in Cabo San Lucas. The water here is calm enough for swimming, paddling, and enjoying water activities.

Close to Everything in Cabo
Fun Location
RIU Santa Fe sits along the vibrant stretch of Medano Beach, putting guests right in the middle of Cabo’s most social and energetic zone.

If you’re riding the shared shuttle, your rep will check you in and place you with guests heading toward the same area. The shuttle usually makes two to three quick stops along the way and keeps things moving smoothly. It’s an easy option for solo travelers or anyone looking to keep transportation costs down while still having a comfortable and reliable ride to RIU Santa Fe.

If you booked a private SUV or luxury ride, your driver will be ready the moment you check in with the rep. No waiting and no extra stops. Your bags are handled for you, and your vehicle comes stocked with cold water and beer to kick off the trip. Once you’re loaded up, you head straight to RIU Santa Fe in your own air-conditioned ride with a professional bilingual driver who knows the route well.

There are many Limousine Services to choose from, but we just went to Cabo for the third time, and as always, SJD Taxi did not disappoint. They made travel to and from our resort easy, and the drivers were extremely friendly!! The vehicles were full-size luxury SUVs and super clean. I would not use anyone else!!

I was a little nervous, but I had a wonderful experience using this company. Drivers were very polite and knowledgeable. Drivers were very prompt and even showed up a few minutes early which I appreciate. I shared a van which was comfortable and very clean. I would definitely use them again.
