They put us on... more

We just returned from a 5night stay at the Riu Caribe and we enjoyed it very much. The staff always goes above and beyond to help you and make you feel welcomed. The animation staff and bartenders are the best. Omar from the aniamtiona staff and Jerry from the sportsbar should be commended fro their excellent service. The only thing... more

We stayed eight nights at the Riu Caribe. We really felt we had got the greatest vacation value possible. The hotel is an older property, but is well kept and clean. The lobby is open and really pretty, there are turtles locate in two small fountain areas. The area also doubles as a location for some of the entertainment, which... more

This was approximately our 16th trip to this resort (some trips were when it was Gran Caribe Real). We have never had any problems or disappointments here. The staff is always friendly, we don't spend much time in our room so who cares if they are a little dated, we find the food to be good, maid service is great,... more

Just got back from RIU Caribe two days ago. I stayed at the resort with my boyfriend and one of our friends. Last year we stayed at one of the RIU sister hotels the RIU Palace Las Americas. Unfortunately we wanted a cheaper short trip so we opted for this hotels great deal. This is my honest opinion of our... more

If you want personalized concierge service, 1000 count Egyptian cotton sheets and a plush bed this is not the resort for you. If you want good food, good drinks, great service, and an outstanding price, then this is the resort for you. This was my 7th trip to Cancun and 14th trip to the Caribbean, so I've gotten to try... more

This is the 2nd time i've been to this hotel, the first being in april 2007. We went this year to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and I can honestly say it was brilliant. The hotel itself is well worthy of its 4star plus rating, sauna/gym available: the rooms were all sea view, clean and air conditioned, with all... more

Husband and I booked our first trip to Cancun at the Riu Caribe using Expedia's package deals. Reading the reviews on the hotel, we opted for this one over Park Royal. We noticed the bad reviews, but overall, it seemed that there were more good than bad, so we took a chance. Along with our package, we booked a shuttle... more
