DAY 1: If you are looking for any type of Romance, STAY away. Went there with my wife and after about a minute all hell broke loose. Right away you walk into a high school gym locker room. It will only take literally a minute till you start sweating and you want to go jump into their overly crowded pool.... more

We returned from the Riu Caribe two days ago and overall had a relaxing time. We got a really good deal on the Riu Caribe with flight credit due to the "Swine Flu Frenzy." The reviews online looked decent and so we decided to try it. The reviews online are for the most part accurate. The hotel: It is nothing... more
