RIU Caribe Cancun- Melanie Adams

Riu Carib Cancun

As you enter the Riu Carib, you come into a large open area of bright orange and black décor, it has a cafeteria feel to it.  Heading outside is much better, gardens with many palm trees surrounding the pool area.  There’s an activity pool with a festive vibe, basketball in the pool. A swim up bar.  Water lounges.  There is also a quiet pool.  The beach is small, there are palapas for shade.

The rooms are simple, all are the same size, the difference is the view and the size of the balcony.  Mostly white with dark blue accents.
