The pool area was great. The beach had huts to sit under when you've had enough sun but still want to be in the fresh air. The staff was very friendly everywhere we went in the hotel...from the front desk to the pizza place. The rooms were very clean and all had a wonderful view of the pool/beach area. There... more

The Riu Caribe is a awesome place. We have been to this resort twice and seem to love it more each time. The staff is wonderful, the food is ok but resort food is never really that great. The drinks are wonderful, they actually give you a fair amount of liquor in them. I lived on gaucamole and chips the... more

We stayed April 18-25 on the sixth floor in the middle of the hotel - we stayed for our belated honeymoon and enjoyed relaxing at this beautiful resort!! Great view!! It was definitely still in the hotel zone, but a good ten minutes from the tourist downtown. We opted to just stay at the resort the whole time and not... more

The rooms as many have said are older but who spends their days in the room? The hotel itself is nice, the pool is nice, the beach is nice and the staff (other than the reception) are great. Gym sucked and there really isn't a spa. The food at the steak house and mexican restaurent weren't as good as the... more

Great hotel only downside is that it is quite a walk away from the nightlife and shops but then on the other hand you may want that distance!! if you do want to be closer to the action stay at the Riu Cancun Hotel was great, atmosphere around the pool during the day was great as the entertainment team put... more

This was our second time to Cancun. We travelled as a group of 8 including 2 children aged 5 & 9. We flew with First Choice from the UK, we used the day before check in at Manchester airport which was superb! Plane had so much room in star class, no need to upgrade. On arrival in Cancun beware timeshare... more

My husband, two friends, and I stayed April 17th-21st. We wish we could've stayed longer! When we got there at 5pm we were checked in promptly. I wish they had someone bring a welcome drink while being checked in. We had room 916 and our friends had 917. Our view was amazing! We were jumping up and down with excitement.... more
