Riu Caribe Resort
Hotel Information: The Riu Caribe All Inclusive caters to both families and couples, with the latter divided between young and middle-aged adults. While activities run day and night, guests use the long beach and expansive pool deck for rest and relaxation. A large atrium lobby has a lounge that is often lively from after lunch until midnight.
Amenity highlights: Two bridges cross the long pool, which also features a children's section and shallow areas for lounge chairs. The beach is powdery white sand, washed by the turquoise Caribbean, and the resort’s north or bay side of Cancún Island means the water is usually calm. Thatch palapas and palm trees provide shade on the beach and by the pool.
Insider tip: Nichupté Lagoon, a vast, placid body of water separating Cancún Island from the mainland, lies just across the boulevard fronting the resort. The resort's upper-floor corridors are popular spots for sunset photography of the lagoon and its mangrove forests.
The majority of amenities, activities, and gratuities at this Cancun resort are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for the majority of amenities and activities (scroll up to the All-Inclusive Details section for more information).
The Riu Caribe offers 505 air-conditioned guestrooms and suites in a nine-story, sand-and-white building terraced at the ends like a Mayan pyramid. Rooms include small balconies or patios furnished with a small table and two chairs and providing angle (partial) views of the Caribbean Sea. Spacious junior suites feature larger balconies directly facing the sea. Decor includes gray marble floors and bathrooms accented with charcoal marble. Rooms also feature cream walls, white ceilings and crown molding, warm wood furniture decorated with thin bands of carved green wood, wrought-iron light fixtures and dining sets, and tropical-print fabrics.
