Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay here. We were travelling for a 30th birthday, our group ranged from 23-30 year old's. The property has been renovated, rooms and amenities are updated and in great condition compared to other Riu's I have stayed at in Mexico. Food was what we expected, we had a few very good meals (get the steak at the Kulinarium!!) but the buffets served the same things everyday for breakfast and lunch. The beach was beautiful compared to other areas. If you are looking for a more family friendly atmosphere, there are probably other Riu's or other resorts that would fit your needs better as far as kid friendly pools and activities (this one was still great!). Riu Caribe was perfect for our group, we were looking for more of a party atmosphere. There were daily parties hosted in the Riu party area located on this property, guests from other Riu properties would be shuttled here for them. They were actually SO FUN - we definitely underestimated Riu at first. One thing I was very surprised about was the customer service. I've stayed at other Riu's where we were checked on constantly by the staff. At this Riu, there wasn't a single server at the pool or the beach. Not the end of the world, just surprising. Overall, a great budget option if you're looking to have a good time or unwind and relax!!
