The facts- We booked three Ocean View Rooms, What we received was one room with an ocean view, but two of the rooms had no ocean view. One room overlooked a... more

My mother, my sister and I just returned from a 7-day stay in Cancun at the RIU Caribe. We used this website extensively trying to find the right hotel for us. We took notice of the negative reviews, but went into the trip with an open-mind. We arrived after a mostly uneventful flight to beautiful, sunny weather. I highly recommend... more

Like most, we utilized Trip Advisor to narrow our search and decided on the Riu Caribe for our 7 day visit taking the reviews to heart. Reading the reviews was insightful and I don't know if I have anything special to add but here goes nothing. The room was as advertised. Our A/C worked fine along with the ceiling fan... more

This hotel was no exception, good quality and variety of food, entertainment was very good. Sea views from nearly every room except ground floor. Staff were very happy and helpful, Optics in... more

This was a family vacation for my wife and I, two sons ages 18 and 20 and two of their male friends ages 18 and 20. We had reserved and paid for three rooms. Two of the rooms were each to have two beds. Upon check in the front desk personnel said there were no rooms available even though we... more

We've stay at the Grand Caribe 2x and Riu Caribe 2x. This was our 4th stay at this resort. It started out very disappointing. The room was not what we requested and they "claim" they could not help us until 2 days in, which we decide not to switch after unpacking. First the room was a corner on the side,... more

Went with 30 family members for a 50th anniversary. Great for a big family because resort is on the smaller size, but definitely not for couples/honeymooners. I am a WELL seasoned carribean all inclusive traveler and felt that this resort lives up to its 3 star nature. We knew what we were getting into. Important notes: Very few air conditioned... more
