When I go away (4-6) times per year, I like a nice clean place with a decent gym. The room was nice, the service was great from the wait staff- and bar tenders...Food was OK (as at all buffet/all inclusive places with a few a la carte places). I got up at 5:30am to get ready for my daily workout... More

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at the Riu Caribe. Its about the same as it was 4 years ago...the rooms were VERY clean, excellent customer service, but the food buffet was very average at best. Always, fresh fruit was excellent, but the meal choices were just so so. Looked like it had been sitting out for quite... More

We stayed at the Caribe for a friends wedding and had a blast from the moment we walked in. The open air lobby is so impressive and the staff was awesome. We lived by the pool every day which was sometimes tricky to keep our group together as we had around 15 people there but we always managed by getting... More

Staff were fantastic and very friendly. Our toilet broke on first day and was fixed within 45 mins of reporting this. Entertainment staff are fantastic and keep you occupied if thats what your...

We stayed for 7 nights the middle of January and loved it! Hotel needs a little updating in lobby area & some rooms, but the food and customer service made up for it! We reserved 5 rooms and was close together...Antonio's smile and prompt service in the dining room was exceptional. Would I go back? You bet! More

The hotel caribe is definitely not a five nor four star hotel. The biggest complaint would be the corridor noise. There was not an area where you could get away from the constant echoing voices and door slamming. Anyone in the hallwlay could be heard clearly in your room. Another complaint was the front desk manager was not able to... More

We, (family of eight--ages 21 to 57) stayed from Thursday to Thursday during the beginning of January 2012. We all agree it was one of our best vacations and we will be going back next year. We stayed on the third floor. We booked four rooms. We all had beautiful views of the pool and grounds and water. The rooms... More

My sisters and I decided to go to Cancun for our vacations, we live in different countries so we were just meeting there. Seeing some of the pictures of this hotel, we choose it. When you get in to the lobby they serve you a welcome drink which was good and the staff at the reception are very friendly. Don't... More
