Let me start by saying this resort is incredible. The beach is beautiful, the views are perfect, and the food is absolutely beyond what you would expect at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. However, the rooms immediately remind you that you're in Mexico. Mildewy bathrooms, cockroaches running across the floors, paper-thin walls that let you hear every sound next door.... More

We visited RIU Caribe April 11-18 and found this time of year very nice. We enjoyed the RIU in Costa Rica and decided to try the one in Cancun. There are actually 4 RIU with the new one under construction next to the Caribe. This one is the oldest but we stayed on 7th floor in an end Jr Suite... More

I'll make this short and sweet ..... This was my 8th trip to Cancun and although the RIU was a little smaller than some of the resorts I stayed at, it was nice none the less. Entertainment staff is excellent....... Always something fun to do at the pool and on the beach. There is a "quieter" pool if your not... More

Stayed 4/22-26, not too sure about this hotel since it is closing for remodeling. Loved it, room was on the 5th floor (make sure room is a5th floor or above because of the trees). Balcony was very small, but the view was worth it. My room was a remodeled room, basic room, very bright and clean, flat screen tv. Bathroom... More

Having travelled over 14 000 miles to get there, it was wonderful to be welcomed with a Pina Colada and a happy smiling face. The Staff at Rui Caribe were very helpful and the service was always with a smile. I don't know if it's just us easy going South Africans, but I could not fault any part of our... More

We stayed here from April 21st to the 28th and first of all I want to confirm dmacMarshfield’s review that I would stay clear of upgrading to a junior oceanfront view suite. They are not all ocean front view, but I would say most in the range of 95% are. The only difference in some have longer balconies, but if... More

This was our second year in a row staying at the Riu Caribe....we were there from 4/21 to 4/28. Before I talk about how great our vacation was, I would like to give one warning about this hotel. Last year we booked a Jr. Suite and it was fabulous, I believe it was on the 7th floor. This room was... More

My husband and I just returned from our 15th year going to Cancun,12 of those years were spent at the Riu Caribe,with all the new hotels going up in the area this one definitly needs updaing, the rooms haven't changed and are really starting to get run down and have an odor. Food is o.k.,for .85 we hop the bus... More

I've been coming back to this resort since 1999. This is the first time I have been so disappointed with them. Our bathroom shower and tub were not functioning properly. 1/2 the water pressure was coming out of the showerhead and the other half of the tub at the same time. The food was great every meal. I drink Kaluha... More
