"Fantastic 2 week holiday."
We had a great time at the Riu Caribe, it was our Wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday and the room was decorated with a big towel cake and balloons, we felt so happy, great start. Great view from room 549, lots of storage space, massive bed. Friendly reception staff, all staff were really nice always with a smile.
Israel with his cocktail cart at the main pool in the morning was really nice, he went over to all the sunbeds fist pumping and smiling at everyone getting them a drink at about 9am.
The Riu parties were Amazing 👏 especially the Pink party, being a flamingo fan i loved it. All the decorations, the dancers, entertainment team, dj, incredible. They are for all ages, I'm a woman in my early 50's. The polar bear, gorilla, robots on stilts etc were amazing and great for a photo. It was easy to get a drink, the arena had bars specifically for your hotel. I highly recommend going up to the smoking area,even tho I don't smoke, the area was all open with tables and chairs and had great views of the party, so good for people watching.
The food was really good. I loved all the fruit selection especially at breakfast 😋 really liked the soups, creamy pumpkin and Indian tomato soup, my husband loved the oxtail. The specialty restaurants were easy to access, maybe a short wait and the food was good. Pepes the pool food bar was the same food every day, but it was nice.
My fav cocktail was Doctor funk, but honestly I enjoyed all the drinks I tried, my husband enjoyed the beer.
The entertainment at the hotel was great, we enjoyed playing some darts, boccia and bingo. Loved the aqua aerobics with Mr Tony. Great energy from the team 🙌 Great shows at night. We loved the silent disco, 3 dj's playing different music u can change to. They had fun casino tables a couple of times a week at the reception area which were fun to play.
The sports bar staff were very attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere in there.
It was a short walk from the hotel to the ferry terminal to visit Isla Mujeres, defo visit Punta Sur the highest point of the island with a beautiful sculpture trail and amazing scenery. There is a small fee to visit, 120 pesos.
We visited the Riu Ventura which was a really nice hotel, it's 1 of the hotels u can visit when staying at the Caribe. The bus stop is just outside the hotel, it was $3 and I recommend getting of at Playa delfin beach and u can get a picture at the Cancun ball and walking along the beach to the hotel was beautiful.
The Tui reps were really nice, we had booked a trip to Holbox, which I highly recommend it's a long day but most trips are. It was nice that the tiu rep was there at checkout to check on the transport, baggage etc
We would definitely want to return to this hotel, everything about it was Amazing.
