My wife and I (late 20's) accompanied her family (early 50's) and her brothers (early 20's & late teen's) to Riu Caribe earlier this year. We all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed ourselves at the resort. The resort was fun for everyone and we all enjoyed! My wife and I had stayed at a Riu Vallarta in Puerto... more

My Husband and I went to Riu Caribe for our Honeymoon 24.6.08 to 9.7.08. It had been recommended to us by 2 sets of friends who had stayed there last year and the previous year and WOW is how we would describe it! Total Paradise! To be honest I am quite shocked at some of the reviews that have been... more

We stayed at Riu Caribe ONE NIGHT and then moved to the Cancun Palace. (Thank goodness.) Now we've stayed in Cancun before at other hotels & thought we'd try the Riu. Riu's pictures & info on the web was deceiving. When my family (including 4 children ages 9 to 13) arrived at the Riu the beach was overrun with seaweed,... more

We stayed at the Riu Caribe from 7/1-7/8/08. It was VERY hot, but we still had an absolutely wonderful time. Arrival at Cancun Airport - All of the reviews were spot on here. We had to wait over an hour to get through immigration. Once we got through there, luckily we got the green light to head right through customs.... more

My husband, daughter and I just returned from the Riu Caribe (7/8 - 7/13) and I have to say after we booked the trip and reading the reviews I was a little worried about having picked this resort but everything turned out fine. We arrived around 4:30 pm and quickly checked in, I confirmed with the person checking us in... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Riu Caribe this year for 2 weeks and we absolutely loved it!! I honestly cannot fault it. The room was gorgeous, we were on the 3rd floor in the centre of the hotel. Room and bathroom were huge and had a great balcony with sunloungers. The food was really good, so much choice!... more

Airport Transportation: Guy at airport gives us a form and tells us we have to attend a timeshare presentation to get free shuttle service back to the airport. Not true! There is a bar right outside the airport. Paid $5.50 for a can of Corona! Reception Desk: Where do I begin! We had reserved 5 rooms and they only had... more
