First off, for anyone reading this review, use your best judgment when reading other reviews. I was reluctant to book, and I did anyways just because the price was great. we payed approx $650 per person with airfare included and all inclusive. I stayed at Riu Caribe for 4 nights in the beginning of October to celebrate my birthday. I... more

Upon arrival we were very disappointed in our room size and the beds were not what we had requested in our reservation. I went to request an upgrade even if we had to pay And they said that they were sold out so can't help me. I was really mad since it was my one year anniversary. NIce beach and... more

Very nice hotel with gracious and courteous staff. Great beach, but the pool area was so nice, we ended up staying there more than on the beach. Lobby and hallways are not air conditioned. Food was very good, too, especially for an all-inclusive. more

Everything about this hotel is superior. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Sure we tipped, but there were smiles and excellent service before we tipped as well. Breakfast buffet was the best-didn't really look to have lunch after having omlettes, pancakes, meats etc. Pizza place was very good-it was great sitting in the shade with a drink or 2... more

Going to the Riu Caribe, is just like going home. My husband and 11 year old son always enjoy their stay. The hotel staff is always wonderful. We were upgraded to a room with a full balcony over looking the pool. As the years go on, I do see some changes the Riu has made. Some good, some bad. The... more

My husband and I stayed at the RIU Caribe to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We got married here at the hotel last year. Staff remains to be great. Anything we needed or asked for and they were quick to oblige. The pool is awesome and the entertainment staff are incredible. All that energy... We will continue to be... more

We got an incredibly cheap deal on our 7-night package so we weren't expecting much, especially after reading some of the reviews. However, it was great. The sports & entertainment staff can't be beat! The rooms are nice. Since it was our first all-inclusive resort we were expecting mediocre food, at best. The food was delicious. We enjoyed all 3... more
