My husband, brother and my dad stayed at Riu Caribe from August 9-15. We checked-in around 3 p.m. and got our rooms right away. We were given rooms 167 and 169. First floor, just past the elevators and definitely not a “Deluxe Oceanview room" which we paid for. I immediately asked to switch rooms, but the clerk said it was... more

We returned from the Riu Caribe two days ago and overall had a relaxing time. We got a really good deal on the Riu Caribe with flight credit due to the "Swine Flu Frenzy." The reviews online looked decent and so we decided to try it. The reviews online are for the most part accurate. The hotel: It is nothing... more

My girlfriend and I (both in our 30's) visited Cancun from 8/27 – 8/31. Our package was purchased through Expedia for $560/person. This included round-trip airfare from Boston, all-inclusive stay at the Riu Caribe, and round- trip airport transportation through Best Day. A week before our arrival I e-mailed the hotel to confirm our reservation and request a room on... more

I just got back from a holiday to the Riu Caribe in Cancun, Mexico with my partner yesterday and I was absolutely gutted to say goodbye to the sun-kissed beaches here. My bf had suggested Mexico for our summer hol & I must admit that I wasn't too keen- I had notions of dirty, littered streets, shady dealings and always... more

We found an amazing deal, and stayed 4 nights all inclusive, with air for $445/pp. Totally worth it. Hubby and I went with another couple. We all agreed on both good and bads about the Riu Caribe. The good stuff first: FOOD, buffets were outstanding, tons to choose from inside, and the outdoor one at the beach had plenty, although... more

ROOMS Well the rooms were basic but clean. I looked at a lot of pictures... more

All in all this hotel is pretty good for the money and if you looking for a fun lively holiday this is the place for you. Here is my break down of the hotel. Rooms Yes they are a little worn but they are cleaned everyday and were always spotless. Air con worked fine and was needed as it does... more
