I read all the reviews before booking the Riu Caribe, so I was a bit concerned. However, I found that most people's complaints were highly exaggerated or perhaps people go with expectations that are just unreasonable. This Hotel is great, to me it comes down to value, to what I got for what I paid, and I can say without... more

Went to Caribe for 4 days at Easter with my Sister for a girls weekend. We had a great time. The resort is gorgeous, right on the beach with a huge pool. The service at the pool bar was ok, very busy with spring breakers but they did they're best. The lobby bar was our favourite, service and drinks were... more

Please indulge me by reading this review. I’ve read most of the reviews good and bad and can’t figure what some people use to determine good from bad. First, to let you know; I booked this hotel based on price, photos, AI and location??? While this is not the Waldorf Astoria as some would have you believe they’re used to,... more

DAY 1: If you are looking for any type of Romance, STAY away. Went there with my wife and after about a minute all hell broke loose. Right away you walk into a high school gym locker room. It will only take literally a minute till you start sweating and you want to go jump into their overly crowded pool.... more

I stayed at the Riu Caribe for 9 days in August with my mother. Our overall experience with the hotel was overwhelmingly positive, with a few exceptions. Our room was beautiful-- the whole hotel is done in marble. We loved this! The whole room, and especially the bathroom was gorgeous. The fridge was well-stocked every day with huge 1.5 liter... more

We picked this hotel online for our honeymoon because of the pool and beach pics because that's all my husband and I really wanted to do. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted with cocktails and a quick check in. I guess you have to make reservations for the three free restaurants in the hotel before ten that morning but... more

Before making a decision to stay at the RIU Caribe, please read this!! My sister, sister in laws and myself wanted a girls only trip and was told this was a very nice resort. I am one not to complain, but the minute I walked into the lobby, I knew it was a mistake. I was the only one out... more
