We traveled here in May. The ocean was beautiful! We had a great room facing the pool and ocean. The food was pretty good. I am normally not a fan of eating steak but I actually enjoyed it at their steak house. The buffet was very good anytime of the day. The little pizza shack by the pool was excellent!!... More

We stayed during the busiest tourism season of the year so we paid prime prices so expectations have to be what the hotel is 'normally' like, Someone can't expect when traveling during the holiday, when paying the highest prices, that the hotel will match up with you would pay off season. ANYWAYS.... **ROOMS** We had a family of 5 -... More

My husband and I went for our anniversary. View from our room was amazing. Even though the beds were a little hard as other reviews had indicated and the toilet would run pretty much constantly, the rooms and hotel were very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and food/drinks were good. Entertainment was not top notch, but enjoyable. More

I should start off by stating that we LOVE the Riu chain... we have been to ten different Riu's around the world. We tried to book a room at the Palace Las Americas but they were sold out. We then chose the Caribe as it had a larger beach area than the Riu Cancun (they were similar in price and... More

We stayed at the Riu Caribe over the past week, returning late last night after 7 days of great relaxation. I went with my 20-year old son, and both of us felt that we had found our own little piece of heaven. The beach and swimming there were apparently among the best in Cancun, on the Caribbean side and the... More

It took 2 phone calls and two repair men and nothing was fixed. The besds were rock hard. The resort is no longer being maintaned... More

As I glanced over the reviews at the same time we were there..I just shake my head. We had a wonderful time at RIU Caribe. This was the first time we tried this company and could not say enough about the service, and staff. We arrived very early in the day and just knew we would not get our room... More
