Fodor's "On the southern end of the Zona Hotelera, this hotel is quite secluded; you'll get privacy, but have to drive to get to shops and restaurants." Full review

Be sure to request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor since they were renovated in 2012.

Oyster Upscale
"This 379-room resort is located at the very end of the Hotel Zone, in a quiet spot far from the Cancun buzz." Full review
Rough Guide "Striking, minimalist accommodation with pillow-top beds, deluxe showers and impressive views. An additional west-facing beach and pool on the lagoon get afternoon sun."
Afar Magazine "Discover nature and nurture at our serene resort, where private beaches meet aqua waters, and recreation and relaxation options are endless." Full review
Frommer's "This is as much seclusion as you'll find in the Hotel Zone, and the kids' club and variety of activities make it a great place for families." Full review

"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
