Check in at Riu Caribe was a breeze and the front desk staff actually read our room request from our booking, and accommodated it cheerfully! We asked for a king bed as close to the 9th floor with ocean view and it was no hassle at all. Housekeeping was superb. Our room was cleaned each day well before noon. Rooms... more

Despite swine flu and mexican drug cartels, I took my wife and 3 children to the Riu Caribe. My youngest being 7 months old. As expected, the media hype was all BS and we had a great time. The hotel is clean and location is great. The beach and pool are great. Do not believe the media, the people of... more

This is the first time we tried an all-inclusive resort and we discovered it probably doesn't fit our traveling style. If I just graduated from college, I'd probably give this place higher marks. There were people of all ages at the hotel but the all-you-can-drink nature of the place gives it a college party vibe especially at the pool (awesome... more

My girlfriend and I just got back from Cancun and the Riu Caribe. Here is an overview and hopefully you find this helpful. Room - The room was good, not great, but honestly how much time will you spend in your room. The view was great with a view of the pool and the ocean. There is a minibar that... more

It could not have been better! From the front desk at check-in where we were given a wonderfully cold drink and encouraged to change into our swimsuits to enjoy the beach and pool until our room was ready to the taxi ride to the airport...it was absolutely perfect. The staff was front desk and cleaning staff was courteous and helpful... more

I just recently returned from a trip to the RIU Caribe with my family(ages 18 to 40ish) and have to say that everyone had a great time. I have been going to this hotel since 2001 and have never been disappointed. The beach and pool are great and the entertainment staff does a great job by giving you plenty to... more

This was our (girlfriend and myself) second trip to Cancun in the past 6 months. On our previous trip we stayed at the JW Marriott and had a fantastic time so we decided to come back, but stay someplace different. This trip was just as good, if not better than the first. I am by no means a seasoned international... more

The value I got from this trip is fantastic. I paid $538/person 3 nights + air fare + 24 hr inclusive. The restaurants served delicious food in very clean and well decorated restaurants each with their own décor/theme. Not sure why many websites rank the hotel as a 3 or 3.5 star I would give it at least 4 stars.... more
