On arrival the staff were very welcoming with refreshing drinks before any of the signing in formalities. Food in the main self... More

This is our second trip to the Riu Caribe, and it was even better than it was four years ago. We love the staff, especially Enrique at the Maria Margarita Restaurant. He is a delightful maitre d'. The staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating for every need. The beach was great for swimming, unlike many beaches at other hotels.... More

Scheduled 4 day visit to Cancun to celebrate anniversary. Very last minute, didn't spend much time on selection other than reviews of past visitors. We were extremely pleased with our choice. Clean, large room with fully stocked mini fridge and alcohol (which we didn't touch). Excellent pool area, food was good and the selection was very nice. The staff and... More

We were very happy with our vacation over all. The hotel was very clean and people were very friendly. They bring a fruit drink to you when you are checking in which was refreshing after traveling. Food was good. Loved the fish and all the fresh fruit and fruit drinks. Our only complaint was the beds were very hard and... More

I went on holiday with my 18 year old last July in 2011. Considering the age difference between us, we both enjoyed staying at this hotel. We loved the food! We are both vegetarians and wondered if our choices would be limited. Not at all, it was all wonderful: the buffet, the Asian restaurant, and the Mexican restaurant. Drinks were... More

Just returned from the Riu Caribe. Very nice resort, excellent service, but, they advertise 5 restaurants, the problem is 3 of them are reservation only. You have to go down in the morning before 10 am to reserve your resteraunts. I not only don't want to have to get up and go do that, I also do not want to... More
