We had a good time. The pool entertainment staff were fun & friendly. Food was good with some variety on choice. Overall, not a Five Star Resort but if you are looking for a nice resort at a good price, this is it.

Great place to vacation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/20/09
My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Riu Caribe in Cancun. We would definitely go back. Beach, pool, food and drinks were great. The Jr. Suite was one of the best if not the best room we ever had on vacation.
I'm sure that there are better hotels but for the money and service this was a fantastic deal. We booked during the Swine Flu scare and got a super rate! Food is okay, but hey, it's an all-inclusive.
The beach and water was really clear, but the pool was about 105º!!!
I would recommend bringing a giant plastic beer mug to avoid the shot glass size cups they give you.
We took our family to this resort expecting much more than they had to offer. Upon arrival we were very disappointed in our room size and the beds were not what we had requested in our reservation. I promptly went to request an upgrade even if we had to pay more and they could not or would not accomadate us. The "manager" said that they ...
Skum and cups and straws floating around in pool They rush you in and out of the Resturants. No lights in rooms to read at night. Drinks were fake. pick Grande Caribe Real for a great hotel
Why havent i went sooner?? For my first all inclusive i stayed at the riu caribe and i must say im so glad i did. It was amazing, the hotel was clean and the staff was great special note for the entertainment crew (amazing!!) The food was great, if you couldnt find something to eat you have problems and the breakfast was everything you could ask ...

From check-in, to the helpful staff, to restaurants and food, the relaxing pools everything was PERFECT. This all inclusive hotel was what my honey and I needed to relax. Yes, we do recommend and is worth the money. Going back in 6mths. Papo and LaLa
Love this hotel and its' location. Weather could have been a little better but the staff of the hotel certainly made up for a few clouds here and there. Very organized, except for check in the wait too long, but the food, service and placement of the bars and food stations were great. Also enjoyed the yoga on the beach.
Mediocre place, not a 5-star or 4-star quality. Had to unplug the fridge in our room each night to sleep. Front desk staff were very unhelpful. We didn't even have bedding in our room when we arrived.
