Greening Your Life: Part of the Apple Vacations Greening Your Life initiative, this property has implemented a sustainability system that has met criteria and has been approved by Travelife. All 10 Riu hotels in Cancun and Riviera Maya, Including Riu Caribe, have obtained a Travelife rating of Gold. This is the highest rating in the Travelife Sustainability System implantation.

Aside from the use of biodegradable cleaning products, the resort uses environmentally-friendly fabrics and recycles organic waste to generate compost conditions. A waste management plan has also been approved by local authorities. This includes replacing small, one-portion packages with bulk products to create less waste and use less trash bags, and appointing a hazardous waste manager who is in charge of collecting printer, toner, and photocopiers. Vegetable oil is also recycled and reused.

An awareness campaign has been started by placing posters of good environmental practices in different areas of the hotel. A Green Book has also been developed, where guests are invited to participate in caring for the environment through the development of sustainable activities.

Lovely Views

Lots of positives about this hotel, Lovely and clean, very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful view of sea. Rooms are great with everything you require and if you need anything extra just ask. However food could be warmer! Think it would be a good idea to be able to book other restaurants as most times you turn up full, also not really alacart as in most it's just another buffet. I feel hotel should be advertised as 18- 30 as this is what it is really geared up for with the parties, other entertainment not up to much, I found it actually very poor. Lobby bar and restaurant very noisy, could do with a quiet chill our bar.

Riu Caribe - party central !

We weren’t really warned about this hotel , even reviews didn’t mention the chaos , the hotel itself is fine , very nice , similar in all ways to the riu Dubai apart from the clientele, Jesus it’s like a club 18-30 resort , very good for people watching , but very loud day and night !!! Its party central , I felt very sorry for an old couple who used to sit on the sunbeds behind us , they didn’t look too happy 🤦🏽‍♀️ People got that drunk in the day that they’d fetch a wheelchair to take them back to their rooms , one time there was even poo in the lift we presume a drunk had done Don’t get me wrong we like a drink and a good time but ……. It was like I say a very good people watching place , very funny There are a lot of ladies with a lot of body showing , I’ve never seen so many fat backsides ! If you’re younger you’ll love this hotel it’s in a good location , foods good , rooms good , drinks good , plenty to do , Riu party 3 times a week , coco bongo a short taxi ride away , in fact if you buy tickets at the hotel they take you in a minibus then you just get taxi home If you go into town you can call in Riu cancun and have some drinks free I don’t think I’d go back again, not because there’s anything wrong with the hotel but I’d try a different one Oh and we did have hurricane helene Entertainment team were very good and silent disco was brilliant

Quite literally no complaints! Our stay at Riu Caribe this past March (2025) was outstanding from start to finish! Resort is CLEAN. Staff is friendly and accomodating. We felt safe. Daily activities and engagement available. Enough food options, all quality in taste and fresh. 10/10 recommend on all fronts.
