Has anyone ever been to Mexico, and stayed at Rui la Caribe hotel?

Hotel Riu Caribe, Cancun, Mexico - Have you been? What's it like?

• Has anyone stayed here? What was it like? Was the beach / food nice? Also is the sea like, calm enough to bathe/swim in, or does it have big waves? Just booked here for our honeymoon - 7th September for 2 weeks. Never been to cancun/mexico before. Any tips? Thank you x

• Answer:

  I'm 17, and my my parents and I went to Cancun in January and stayed in the Riu Caribe. We absolutely loved it! Prior to staying at the Riu Caribe my parents had always stayed at a different hotel, although I can'trecalll the name. They loved that hotel, but after staying at the Riu Caribe they said they wouldn't go back to the other one, they would stay at Riu Caribe again. The food is very good. They have something for everyone. They have different kinds of pizzas, pastas, meats, fruits, desserts, etc. I would suggest taking some dessert up to your room to save for later in the night...that's what we always did. You can also make reservations at one of the restaurants at the hotel, but if you plan on doing this, you have to make the reservation as soon as you can, because the spots fill up fast. The beach is amazing! It is not crowded at all. The water is by no means rough. In fact, my dad and Isnorkeledd there. There are tons of different species of fish just off of the beach. So, if you are intosnorkelingg, you can just grab you snorkel, mask, and fins and snorkel on the beach (well, in the water. Lol.). As for tips: ~Don't drink the water unless it is bottled or from the resort. ~Keep applying sunscreen! This is a must! The sun is so much stronger down there. I wore a 30 the whole time I was down there and I ended up with sun poisoning! ~When going out at night, be safe. ~Watch out when you cross the streets...they have some crazy drivers down there! I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I can tell you more about Riu Caribe, someactivitiess you can do, etc.
