We love the RIU CARIBE

This summer will mark our 10th vacation to Cancun and our 10th time staying at the RIU Caribe. We love the Hotel and everything that comes with it. We even spent 9 hours in the stairwell during hurricane Emily and we still continue to go back. If you stay at this hotel, you have to find the bartender by the name of Juan and ask him to make you a BULL (Toro). It is a specialty drink that he can only make and it is the best! Tell him the people that come every summer told you to order it and I bet he remembers us. Enjoy!
Excellent Vacation

This was our first time to Cancun and we had a tremendous time. The resort is very nice, the food was great, be sure to try to the Steakhouse, and the staff was excellent. You are just a bus ride or taxi ride away from the Hotel Zone downtown (club and bars). The pool and beach are great and the RIU Entertainment Staff is the BEST we have ever encountered at any resort (Jamaica, Bahamas, Carribbean,etc). One recommendation, if you want chairs right by the pool be sure to put your towels/shoes/etc. out by 6am. If you want to go to the bars be sure to either go with the RIU entertainment group (VIP access) or go with the Party Hopper group. We we definately be going back to Cancun and will stay at this resort or their sister resort RIU Cancun. We were able to go back and forth between these two resorts for food, pool, beach, etc... You can't go wrong with this Resort...
Excellent hotel!

This hotel is excellent all around, it was beautiful! The entertainment staff was amazing, and we were only 5 mintues away from La Isla, and all the clubs! We are a young couple and travelled with another young couple, and although this resort was awesome, it wasn't very active at night. If you are looking for a resort with an active night life, you might want to look somewhere else, it was pretty quite, and nothing ever happend. Although, there was a bus that took you out to a different club everynight, VIP style! But other than that, no night life! The front desk staff was helpful. The food was really good, and you should deffinatly try out the steak house, it was the best! The beach was really nice, and never overly crowded, we always found a spot for the four of us, and the sun didn't stop shining the whole time we were there! I highly recommend this resort!
I WISH IT WAS RELAXING

If you're planning to get some nice sleep, pay alot less and stay somewhere else. No security at night to keep the kids quiet. Sleeping on the floor would have been better than on their beds. Staff on the other hand was second to none. Pay a bit more and stay at riu palace or riu cancun. You will be glad you did, I wish I had.

I highly reccomend this hotel. The workers are excellent & the entertainment crew is AWESOME!! There were plenty of activities to choose from during the day, so you never get bored. The beach is wonderful, the water is warm, and the sun is shinning...what is there to not like about that? Also, the night shows are amazing. You have to go to the night clubs afterwards tooo!!!!!!
