This place was amazing. We were treated like royalty. Just because they tell you that tips are included does not mean that you shouldn't tip. The bit of seaweed didnt bother us none. Its not the hotels fault. I have to say a special thank you to Luis at the Pizza bar, Armando the pizza maker (we have the same... more

Our stay at the the riu caribe was great. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We requested adjoining rooms when we booked the trip but unfortunately had to wait until the following day before adjoining rooms became available. That was the only thing I didn't like, everything else went smoothly. We tried the Coba excursion and it did not... more

Stayed at Riu Caribe for 7 days. The first room was not too good, it was very close to the big air-conditioning units and very noisy. We asked for a different room and the next day we moved to a room located on the 5th floor. The view was great, could see the pool and the sea. I want to... more

We had a few minor hiccups along the way but nothing that prevented us from thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Check-in: we arrived at the hotel around 2:30 and were told the room wasn't ready yet but would... more

We just got back for the Riu Caribe where we had a great family vacation. The rooms were average and outdated but clean. We had a Jr. Suite 5th floor with an amazing ocean view.The balcony was the biggest oceanfront balcony we've ever had...we took some amazing family pictures here. The beds were a little firmer then what we're used... more
