Riu Caribe
in
Cancun
,
Mexico - Caribbean Coast
This place has got all the traits of a luxury bolthole – a beachfront location, a fabulous dining scene and great entertainment.
The Riu Caribe pulls out all the stops when it comes to location. It’s set in the heart of Cancun’s main strip, which means you’re just footsteps away from the nearest shops, restaurants and bars. Best of all, it looks out over the beach so you can be on the sand in seconds.
The pool scene is just as noteworthy. Three huge pools wind their way around the grounds, and come complete with little bridges and a palm-clad island in the middle. They’re framed by a terrace that’s dotted with loungers and hammocks, so you’ll have no problem finding a spot to relax. There’s a swim-up bar in the water, and another close by, so refreshments are taken care of, too.
If you want to up the pace a little, there’s a lot laid on activity-wise. As well as favourites like tennis, volleyball and aerobics, you’ve got the likes of windsurfing, scuba diving and body boarding to try your hand at. Little ones, meanwhile, have got their own activities programme, as well as the RiuLand Kids’ Club, where they can join in with games, competitions and arts and crafts.
On the dining front, you’ll find a buffet set-up in the main restaurant, which offers up full American breakfasts alongside sweet pastries and fruit juices. For lunch and dinner, expect plenty in the way of international fare with pizza, pasta and salads among the line-up. Elsewhere, you’ve got an Asian buffet restaurant and two à la cartes to try – a grill and steakhouse joint and a lively Mexican eatery.
The hotel has recently had a makeover, so the rooms are really modern and stylish. They're ultra-minimal spaces with energising blocks of colour, and finishing touches include satellite TVs, minibars and liquor dispensers.

Your guide to Cancun, Mexico - Caribbean Coast
"Boasting powder-soft sands, blissful Caribbean seas and pounding nightlife, Cancun will thrill anyone anyone who loves beaches, fun … and life."
Beach, party, beach, party… sums up Cancun holidays. Blessed with endless snow-white sands kissed by turquoise seas, and piling amazing nightlife, shopping and eating-out options on top, Cancun is utopia if you like to lounge and play hard. Located on the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula between a lagoon and the Caribbean, this magnificent stretch of coastline boasts countless high-quality hotels - many all-inclusive - and all poised beside the blinding white beach. If you’re here for the sun and sea – and who isn’t? – it’s the stuff of dreams. One step on the coral sands will confirm you’re in prime beach-steak territory. The sands’ aquatic origins mean they stay relatively cool even in scorching heat, so you can traipse happily to and from the transparent seas without burning your soles. Adrenalin junkies can celebrate too - watersports are thick on the ground. In the more sheltered north, the Caribbean ocean is perfect for windsurfing, fishing and snorkelling, whilst facing inland, the vast lagoon waters are a playground for water-skiers. Away from the beach, you’ll hardly be twiddling your thumbs. Although Cancun has no real centre, it bristles with American-style shopping malls and Mexican markets, all ideal hunting grounds for handicrafts, duty-free goodies and designer products. Plus, your tastebuds will be teased every-which-way by an endless variety of restaurants. Whether it’s US fast food, Chinese, European or platters of Mexican fajitas, it’s all here. After dark, Cancun shifts from chilled-out to action-packed. Just choose your venue. Whether it’s the live entertainments at most hotels, sampling the Mexican vibe at a traditional bar, or partying like there’s no tomorrow at a disco or nightclub, there’s no escaping the fun.
