My wife looked high and low for the cheapest vacation we could find. We found it here. Our expectations were low. We were hoping that it would be good enough. It barely was. We intended to spend as little as possible on trips and excursions. We wished I had spent more on the resort. CONS- The list is long -... more

Before my trip I checked the reviews on this hotel - the negatives were pretty consistent - no airconditioning in the main lobby, hard beds, bad food, etc. After reaching the hotel, it was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. Yes, no airconditioned lobby, but there is always a breeze via the thru-flow architecture. Plus I went to Cancun for warm... more

We stayed at Riu Caribe, Cancun in July 2009. It was a birthday trip. We booked our trip and did not know much about the resort except on Trip Advisor...which was very helpful. We had a fabulous time, the food was excellent on the nightly buffet. The other restaurants were "just okay" but nice atmosphere. Breakfast as well on the... more

Its not the hotels fault. I have to say a special thank you to Luis at the Pizza bar, Armando the pizza maker (we have the same... more

Our stay at the the riu caribe was great. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We requested adjoining rooms when we booked the trip but unfortunately had to wait until the following day before adjoining rooms became available. That was the only thing I didn't like, everything else went smoothly. We tried the Coba excursion and it did not... more

We stayed t the Riu Caribe in Cancun from August 8-15, 2009. This is an all inclusive hotel and for the four of us, the cost of the hotel and flight from San Diego, CA was $3900 through American Express Travel.
