"Built to resemble a Mayan pyramid, the all-inclusive Riu Caribe is located on the north end of Cancun Island." Full review
Lonely Planet "Riu rules the Riviera Maya – they’re everywhere. This particular Riu has 541 rooms (all with ocean views), including 60 junior suites, and a family-friendly atmosphere."
Star Service "Location aside (it is a bit prosaic), this remains a satisfactory all-inclusive operation. Situated 21 kilometers from the airport, it is one of the more isolated hotels from Cancun action. " Full review

Avoid the older rooms facing the street, as these are the worst of the lot.
