Just returned from our 3rd trip to Riu Caribe in past 7 years. Price was a factor with this year's vacation, and a trip to the Caribe is still a bargain. Paid same price as 6 years ago. When we walked in, my husband commented it felt like "home". Okay, good points: very entertaining environment. If you are alone, it... More

Wow amd triple wow for Riu Caribe Cancun Mexico. We travelled in february and it was great. Lots of chairs on the beach, lots of towels, no waiting for reservations for the restaurants. The buffet was extraordinaty (there was duck, chicken, roast beef, veal, turkey and lots of fish and seafood). The rooms are spotless and have lots of space.... More

We just got home yesterday from a week at the RIU Caribe, and had a great time! I religiously checked TripAdvisor before booking, so I hope this helps someone else planning their trip. As soon as we arrived we asked for an upgrade...it was a very busy week and the gal at the desk told us to check back...which we... More

This was an excellent vacation. We asked for a renovated room with a high floor because of what we read on tripadvisor. We ended up getting a 2 bedroom suite which didn't have a view. We were able to check out the room first before committing. It was worth it since we were a family of 4. The room was... More

What a great hotel, pool area is great no problem getting a bed. If you want to be in a certain area then you do need to be up early, as people do put towels out early. The restaurants are ok but you need to book in days in advance. The food is ok but could be a bit warmer,... More

Okay, so maybe things didn't start out well with us here, with the giant seagulls eating off people's plates. We had just arrived and went down to the ocean to get something to eat. My husband left his plate unattended (bad idea) as he went to get something to drink. That's when a big seagull swooped down for something to... More

We stayed at the riu caribe on June 2010. Hotel is in a great location as you are a bit further out from the noisy nightlife but you can get a bus really cheap which takes 5 minutes. The hotel lobby looks great with a jugle type theme and a pool of turtles in the middle which I thought was... More

Ok, so it's not the ritz or anything, but for the unbelievably cheap price we paid, it was incredible. Plus, since we were there in the off season, we were vacationing with ADULTS and not a bunch of drunk teenagers. The food was decent, at the normal buffets, the pool bar was addicting and the staff was friendly, helpful and... More

We have been to Mexico many times and have stayed only at all inclusive resorts (Occidental Grand Xcaret (X2), Moon Palace, Barcelo Maya Colonial (worst service!), Grand Palladium, El Cozumeleno (Cozumel) and now the Rui Caribe. This resort by far has had the BEST customer service. Check in - Margharita at the front desk, she could not have been nicer... More
