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.

Nov 11, 2026Thank You For An Amazing Two Weeks
What can I say? We have had the most amazing holiday at the Riu Caribe! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and has such a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are simply outstanding. Every single member of the team goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best possible experience. Their friendliness, attentiveness and genuine smiles make such a difference and are a real credit to the hotel. The food has been fantastic, with plenty of choice and something for everyone. The restaurants, bars and pool areas are all brilliant, and there is always something going on if you want to join in or simply relax and enjoy the sunshine. The entertainment has been fabulous, the beach is beautiful and the whole resort has such a lovely holiday atmosphere. A huge thank you to everyone at the Riu Caribe for making our stay so special. It's the people who make a holiday memorable, and the team here certainly deserve recognition for all their hard work. We have made some wonderful memories and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. If you're thinking of booking, don't think twice!

Nov 07, 2026Great experience - just not the food.
Everyone at the hotel was super friendly - the rooms and grounds were great - zero complaints/had a really good time overall. Never had trouble finding a spot around the many pools or along the beach, diving with Paco at Scuba Caribe is a can't miss - even if you've never dived before. Only complaint about this place is - and let's be honest here, even for all-inclusive food, calling the food here mid is pretty generous - closer to straight up bad. Not going to totally rail on it, different tastes for different people, but tried every restaurant, some multiple times over a week, and decided to stick to the salad bar. Worst food experience I've ever had at an all inclusive, and that bar is pretty low. However - staff at all the restaurants were awesome, attentive, and the restaurants are kept clean/presentable.

Definitely a re do!
First time at THIS resort. Very clean, food is great and plentiful. The staff is especially pleasant and helpful. I want to personally thank Viviana and Antonio at the buffet. They went above and beyond. And Beto at the lobby bar is so friendly. If you can't find something to eat here, then go somewhere else. Haf a blast! We will be back for sure!
