Three huge pools wind their way around the grounds, and come complete with little bridges and in-water loungers.
The three pools are surrounded by sun-trap terraces that are dotted with loungers. Hammocks hung from pillars close to the water are ideal for chilled days in the sun.
The main restaurant is a buffet set up, and the menu is inspired by a number of different themes during the week. There’s always a freezer on standby, though, serving ice creams for dessert.
You can grab a table at three themed places when you stay here. Dine in the open-air steak house, the Asian restaurant, or the Mexican.
The Riu Caribe’s entertainment team take to the stage every night, putting on shows and live music.
Four bars serve drinks in the evenings. The cocktail list is tailored, with drinks like the Riviera Maya on the list.
There’s a lot laid on activity-wise. As well as favourites like tennis, beach volleyball and aerobics, you’ve got the likes of scuba diving* and body boarding to try your hand at.
The balconies at this beachside hotel all have full or partial sea views. You can also see the sea from the 3 pools, which have in-water loungers sunk into them. At night, you can look over the beach from the terrace of the steak restaurant, which is one of 4 eateries here.
Little ones have their own activities programme at the RiuLand Kids’ Club, where they can join in with games, competitions and arts and crafts.
The Renova spa* is styled in earthy colours and statues of Buddha keep the peace. The treatment list features everything from hot stone massages to mango wraps.
As well as the indoor treatment rooms, massages* are available in outdoor areas – there are pavilions by the pool and on the beach.
