The hotel Ric caribe is well worth the money, we paid £1200 each all inclusive for two weeks whcih we found to be reasonable price. The hotel location is within 5 minutes of the shops and the main cancun nightlife, you can walk there in 20 minutes should you wish or cath a bus, which runs every two minutes for... more

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon to the Riu Caribe. A very nice hotel, but kind of far from everything. At check-in they messed the room up, we had paid for a Oceanview Junior Suite and they had us in a regular room. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful and changed the room. The... more

We booked this hotel through a travel agency and Funjet Vacations (who advertises Riu Caribe as a 4 star all-inclusive resort). After much anticipation, we were incredibly dissapointed from the moment we arrived to the hotel. In addition, Funjet has a contract with Lomas Travel.

We've heard this hotel is the worst of the RIUs in Cancun. I'd believe it. It's not terrible, but it suffers from want of character, lack of imagination, and too little of what really makes a great vacation-- plus, it's completely overpriced for Christmas break.

We got our room key but instructions on hotel setup/restaurants/pool were not relayed. The keys were given to us and we were on... more

This review will just centre on the travel and hotel, and I will post a fuller review including trips, restaurants, etc in the forum. 26th August – 9th September – Riu Caribe, Room 979 – First time to Cancun. FLIGHT: We flew with First Choice from Manchester on a 767, so the seat arrangements were 2-3-2. I don’t recall ever... more

Here's a breakdown: The grounds were beautiful and very well kept. There was always someone cleaning! The pool was the place to be during the day. The entertainment staff were awesome and full of energy... more
