My boyfriend and I stayed at the Riu Caribe in June 2009 for about a week. This was our first trip to Cancun. We absolutely loved it! The beach location was gorgeous. We had great snorkeling right off of the shore! Take some bread out to the coral and the fish come right up to you! The rooms were always... more

This place would be so much better if they train their front desk people to at least pretend they like the customers and allow people to reserve for the restaurant of their choice. Normally I don't care that much about how friendly the front desk people are as long as they do their job and let me into the room... more

Overall excellent value. This resort is about 4km away from the Cancun day/nightlife. You have to take the bus (very quick, reliable and fast for $0.75) or taxi to get there. The Riu Cancun (where Riu Caribe guests have free access as well) is right in the middle of everything. One by one: 1. Check-in: 1 min. Free safe. Lobby... more

Everything there is fantastic. The hotel is huge , clean, staff very friendly, food is great and you have a choice of four restaurants and a few bars. Big swimming pool which is cleaned every day, bus stop is near by the hotel and it costs you $1 to get to down town where the famous night clubs are: Coco... more

This made the 12th time the wife and I have been to Mexican resorts so we have stayed in better hotels and we have stayed in much worse. The enertainment was somewhat poor. The buffett was very good, much variety, clean, and service was excellent. I'm a big seafood fan and there was always some type of seafood at nearly... more
