    Awesome Resort

    We enjoyed the Riu Caribe. The food was very delicious and the pools, beach, restaurants, and facilities in general were well kept. We enjoyed the entertainment, specifically the mariachi. A few things would have made it even better: We missed our transportation from the airport, and unfortunately this was non-refundable even though it was not our fault there was a delay. Noisy group of people that were staying around our room that did not respect quiet hours. Requested a king bed but were not given one. The double beds were extremely small so was not able to sleep in the bed with my partner.

    Choose another resort

    Aggressive and totally unprofessional security. The food was a rollercoaster of good and downright terrible. The food in the sports bar was beyond horrific. We could get past all of that but to see and hear the way people have been treated at this resort is beyond disgusting. I will not book any other clients at a Riu again. Cancun has also become extremely dangerous and expensive. It's not the Cancun we knew and loved. Hopefully that changes. However, for your own good, choose a better resort than this one!

    First time at RIU, Not Bad

    We started off 2025 in Mexico at RIU Caribe as a first international experience for our children, 6 and 4 years old. Overall this is a great campus with plenty of amenities and a great staff. The location is great as well as it is not too far from the shopping districts of Cancun and offers plenty of walking options on and off campus. My wife and I are accustomed to the room service being part of the all-inclusive, but we learned that this is not an inclusion for the RIU brand typically. This was fine as the buffet and dining room offered plenty of variety each morning. Again, service was amazing. A downfall of being on a main road in Cancun is that even though we were on the eighth floor, the traffic noise was still pretty loud for about half the nights we stayed. If they could insulate from the traffic side better, that would step this property up a notch. The gym is a typical hotel gym and gets fairly crowded in the morning which is why we opted for walks on the path outside of the hotel for exercise. Again, overall a great vacation with amazing staff.
