This is what the Riu Caribe looked like before and after its renovation!

7 September, 2023

The complete refurbishment of the Riu Caribe was one of our big projects for 2023. After several months of work renovating the common areas, restaurants and rooms, we want to show you images of what the Riu Caribe was like before and after. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Lobby

This is the first major change that our clients will notice when they arrive. More natural light and a greater sense of openness are the key aspects of an area that now features a predominant use of soft colours, wood and vegetation, in contrast to the use of oranges prior to the refurbishment. An area that has also increased its functionality for guests and employees, with more space and comfort.

Lobby bar

The same is true of one of our guests’ favourite spots, the lobby bar, Frida, whose décor and colour scheme matches the rest of the space, making it an ideal place to have that refreshing drink once you arrive at the hotel.

Rooms

Another major change our guests will undoubtedly appreciate is in the rooms. Soft, elegant tones have replaced the characteristic navy blue of the past, and more subdued lighting has been incorporated.

Restaurants

Maintaining the culinary variety characteristic of the Hotel Riu Caribe, the restaurants have also been completely renovated and have undergone a radical change in style. The main buffet is no longer in the classic black and white colours, but instead boasts soft, light tones, in addition to beautiful display cabinets that separate the buffet area from the tables for the guests.

Soft light tones also prevail in the Asian restaurant, which has gained in simplicity as well as comfort and functionality, thanks to simpler décor that at the same time is more representative of the theme.

In the Mexican food restaurant, vegetation is the highlight of both the artwork and the decoration. Dark colours have been abandoned in favour of lighter hues that will provide more and better lighting for the restaurant.

Swimming pools

Another of the major new features of the Riu Caribe renovation is that it has gone from having just one swimming pool to four. One of these has a swim-up bar, another is for children, and the other two are designed for the whole family to use and enjoy.

As we said, a picture is worth a thousand words. But there’s nothing quite like coming to Cancun, booking a room at the Hotel Riu Caribe and being able to see all these changes up close. What’s more, there is now a space for you to celebrate… your very own Riu Party!

We’ll be waiting for you!
