It was more than 2 years ago now when I stayed at the Riu Caribe, but I wanted to throw in a review. It was a guys trip and we had an amazing time. We found there was a good mix of guests at the hotel with more of a younger group than you might find at other locations. (By... more

Making this short...hotel was clean, beach was beautiful, staff was nice, and food was great for a short stay. Every restaurant is a buffet except for the steak place so after about 5 days, we were all very tired of the buffet food! The beach has really nice soft sand, water was warm and crystal clear. It was harder to... more

I took my mother to the Riu Caribe in Cancun Oct 21-28. She had never been to Cancun or the Riu. I had stayed at the Riu back in 2006 and loved it. I made the mistake of staying at the Oasis Cancun the following year (wont make that mistake again). It was great to be back at the Riu.... 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

Unfortunately we wanted a cheaper short trip so we opted for this hotels great deal. This is my honest opinion of our... more
