We stayed as a family 29th October to 8th November and cannot fault the place. We arrived a couple of days after hurrican Rina had visited, and it did rain for two days of our stay but the hotel was back to normal. Our room although old fashioned was comfortable and clean. Beds not to my liking. I have never... More

Hotel was full of moisture in rooms, water was leaking from the wall our friends had to change room because water felt on the bed. Food was always the same every day, no big deal. Beach was full of dead fish and seaweeds. My friend cut her feet with nails that were on wood pieces on the ground. It took... More

My 79 year old mother, 8 year old nephew and I stayed at the Riu from Oct 18 to 28th, 2011. I had stayed tat the property 3 years ago so knew what to expect, and we were not disappointed. For only $50 in total, we upgraded to a junior suite--a larger room with an enormous balcony overlooking the pool... More

We just got back from a stay at the Riu Caribe. (Oct 21 - 25). The food was excellent. We ate at the steakhouse restaurant, and would recommend it. The buffet was excellent. The staff was outstanding. The rooms are dated, but they are being updated. The rooms were adequate, but we were not in our room that much. The... More

My husband and I stayed here October 10 - 15th. We had great weather up until the last day. The hotel is clean, staff is awesome. Since the hotel was under 50% we had no problem getting a hut with chairs everyday, and we got beach service by Mora. He was the best. Also Jesus at the pool bar/outside bar,... More

Booked a three night stay at the RIU on a last minute deal through Apple Vacations. The resort is located on the northerly facing coast of Cancun and so the water is more calm here, we snorkeled a little in the waters right off our beach. The food was very good at the buffets, my husband loved the seafood salads.... More
