Apr 16, 2025Beautiful RIU property with a few hiccups
Nice rooms but limited to 2 double sized beds or one king with an option for a portable single bed. The double is uncomfortable for 2 adults and the pillows are hard. No additional blankets for the beds other than the sheets already present. There are very few, 1-2 English speaking cable channels and no closed caption in English for the Spanish ones. The location on hotel row is ideal and the bus line is just outside and Ubers are available. The service is great, hard working staff and always cheerful. The exercise room has 3 TVs, but no controls to turn on/off or to choose what to watch. The staff says there are no remotes…not good. The beach is excellent, talcum powder texture sand, and it’s close to the ferry terminal to go to Isle Mujeres. All inclusive is the way to go.

Paradise!
My husband, who is VERY picky, loved this place as did I. He normally hates buffets, but he was impressed with the cleanliness and fresh food! Antonio was our waiter for breakfast and lunch, he was amazing! We loved how all the rooms faced the beach. The beach was always clean. Everything was wonderful! We want to go back!

Great Stay At the Riu Caribe!
This was our second time at this resort and the first time since their major reno. The resort was fantastic for the following reasons: great food, great activities, silent disco was so much fun. Pool water was clean. The only suggestions I would make is that they need to reduce the amount of salt in the food (we were all bloated like whales the entire time) and it would be nice if the buffet had theme nights so that the food wasn't exactly the same every night. I know you can always do the speciality restaurants but we didn't find them to be great. Would still go back :)
