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

Stayed at Riu Caribe for 7 days. The first room was not too good, it was very close to the big air-conditioning units and very noisy. We asked for a different room and the next day we moved to a room located on the 5th floor. The view was great, could see the pool and the sea. I want to... more

We had a few minor hiccups along the way but nothing that prevented us from thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Check-in: we arrived at the hotel around 2:30 and were told the room wasn't ready yet but would... more

We had a Jr. Suite 5th floor with an amazing ocean view.The balcony was the biggest oceanfront balcony we've ever had...we took some amazing family pictures here. The beds were a little firmer then what we're used... more

You will be SHOCKED after reading what happened to us at the RIU Caribe Hotel in Cancun, and how we were treated! I’ll try to be as short as possible. Twelve of our girlfriends decided to take a vacation to Cancun, and booked 6 rooms at the RIU Caribe Hotel. We entered our room and noticed how unsafe it seemed.... more

Our son was vacationing from Canada and we booked a two night stay to visit with him. On arrival we were greeted at the check in by a very friendly young man and were given access to our room right away. The room was spotless and very comfortable and did indeed have a sea view, though kind of sideways -... more
