About the Riu Caribe

The Riu Caribe is a large, 506-room hotel located in the heart of Cancun's central tourist district, the Hotel Zone. This makes the Riu Caribe an extremely safe choice for first-time travelers to Cancun seeking the total all inclusive vacation package experience; expect a busy tourist atmosphere when you arrive and expect all the traditional all inclusive amenities, designed to accommodate a large number of guests.

The Riu Caribe architecture is reminiscent of the Mayan influence that pervades the Yucatan Peninsula. It's well-kept grounds and beautiful pools allow guests to enjoy a sheltered all inclusive resort experience while overlooking the powdery white beaches and clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Activities at the Riu Caribe

Fantastic shopping exists just minutes from the Riu Caribe resort grounds, including two large shopping centers popular among tourists as well as boutique shops that offer more colorful selections.

There are two large outdoor pools with a swim-up bar and children's pool section as well. Tennis courts and a health club/spa are onsite, while fantastic golfing exists in the area just a short distance from the Riu Caribe, most notably the Cancun Hilton Golf Club and the Mayan Palace Golf Course.

Dining at the Riu Caribe

The Riu Caribe all inclusive vacation packages will provide for all of your drinks, meals and tips, and there are five restaurants on the Riu Caribe property. A steakhouse, Asian restaurant, Mexican restaurant and a buffet make up the majority of meal service, with a 24-hour snack bar and pizzeria onsite as well.

The Riu Caribe is family-friendly with facilities for children, bit accommodates just about every kind of traveler. Look for this Cancun hotel to offer a busy and diverse atmosphere most of the year.
