I just got back from a holiday to the Riu Caribe in Cancun, Mexico with my partner yesterday and I was absolutely gutted to say goodbye to the sun-kissed beaches here. My bf had suggested Mexico for our summer hol & I must admit that I wasn't too keen- I had notions of dirty, littered streets, shady dealings and always... more

We found an amazing deal, and stayed 4 nights all inclusive, with air for $445/pp. Totally worth it. Hubby and I went with another couple. We all agreed on both good and bads about the Riu Caribe. The good stuff first: FOOD, buffets were outstanding, tons to choose from inside, and the outdoor one at the beach had plenty, although... more

Well I did a lot of research on this hotel and think I knew what to expect. I realize everybody expectations are different therefore I look at the overall reviews and decided to give this a try For the price this hotel can't be beat. ROOMS Well the rooms were basic but clean. I looked at a lot of pictures... more

All in all this hotel is pretty good for the money and if you looking for a fun lively holiday this is the place for you. Here is my break down of the hotel. Rooms Yes they are a little worn but they are cleaned everyday and were always spotless. Air con worked fine and was needed as it does... more

My wife looked high and low for the cheapest vacation we could find. We found it here. Our expectations were low. We were hoping that it would be good enough. It barely was. We intended to spend as little as possible on trips and excursions. We wished I had spent more on the resort. CONS- The list is long -... more

Before my trip I checked the reviews on this hotel - the negatives were pretty consistent - no airconditioning in the main lobby, hard beds, bad food, etc. After reaching the hotel, it was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. Yes, no airconditioned lobby, but there is always a breeze via the thru-flow architecture. Plus I went to Cancun for warm... more

We stayed at Riu Caribe, Cancun in July 2009. It was a birthday trip. We booked our trip and did not know much about the resort except on Trip Advisor...which was very helpful. We had a fabulous time, the food was excellent on the nightly buffet. The other restaurants were "just okay" but nice atmosphere. Breakfast as well on the... more

Ok, we want to be honest hear and try to give the hotel the review it deserves. Just to qualify ourselves, we travel to Cancun a couple times a year. We do have a membership to the Palace Resorts, however when we travel with our children, it becomes a bit to expensive. My wife spends many hours searching for the... more

Before going on our trip we read a ton of reviews on here..and we understood fairly well what we were getting ourselves into. Basically, you get exactly what you pay for here and that's not a bad thing. If you want great food, great rooms, and amazing service then you're not going to get it for what $100-$150 a night... more
