5* Riu Caribe
Description / Location
The Riu Caribe All Inclusive caters to both families and couples, with the latter divided between young and middle-aged adults. While activities run day and night, guests use the long beach and expansive pool deck for rest and relaxation. A large atrium lobby has a lounge that is often lively from after lunch until midnight. Two bridges cross the long pool, which also features a children's section and shallow areas for lounge chairs. The beach is powdery white sand, washed by the turquoise Caribbean, and the resort’s north or bay side of Cancún Island means the water is usually calm. Thatch palapas and palm trees provide shade on the beach and by the pool. Nichupté Lagoon, a vast, placid body of water separating Cancún Island from the mainland, lies just across the boulevard fronting the resort. The resort's upper-floor corridors are popular spots for sunset photography of the lagoon and its mangrove forests.
