The hotel

Treat the family to a little rock star treatment at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. Split into two sections, Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - Hacienda is a family friendly playground packed full of fun with amenities galore. Four expansive pools and Rockaway Bay a 23-slide waterpark, twelve restaurants, endless water activities and the Roxity Kids' club should give you a good idea. Plus when staying in the Hacienda section, adults will have access to some of the restaurants, bars and facilities within the Heaven section, which has both family and adults-only areas. An All Inclusive resort, it's top-shelf all the way at the Hard Rock — there isn’t anything you’ll be denied. After a busy day (and night) your room is your sanctuary. There’s a whole variety to choose from but one thing’s for sure, you’ll have space to stretch out in plus a well-stocked mini-bar to take advantage of!

This resort exceeded beyond our expectations. My family and I travelled to Mexico in November for my Moms 65th birthday. We read the reviews before hand and after haven been there we were shocked that some people had bad experiences. The staff were outstanding, I wish I knew all of their names, but we never had 1 bad experience with anyone. They were extremely polite, always willing to do anything for you, checked in to make sure things were okay and were always smiling. From the restaurants, to entertainment, to housekeeping, the front desk, the gym, bartenders & gardeners.. they truly made our experience the absolute best, especially my mom who was celebrated every night for her birthday with cake, candles, balloons, sparklers!!! The resort was incredible. My family were in the kids section and my husband and i were in the adult section. It was a quick golf cart ride between or a 10 min walk along the ocean side to get to one another. It was nice to have the option to do either and both sections offered something different whether to sit and relax or enjoy some fun. The detail in the resort was outstanding. The memorabilia throughout the resort from famous rock stars or the detail and thought that went into the lobbys, rooms, etc. There was ample amount to do. The water slides were a big hit for my niece and nephews- they never went bored and were always entertained. The food was fantastic - the a la cartes were super easy to get into if you go early (5) and the food was delicious. There were ample amount of options from each restaurant you went to and the taste of everything did not disappoint. The entertainment was spot on. From rock shows, neon light show (the best!), silent party, Queen, pool party, flame throwers - it was some of the best i had ever been to! Thank you to the Hard Rock Cafe for making it such a memorable trip!! :) Read less

My wife and I vacationed at Hard Rock Riviera Maya hotel last week. The service provided by the butlers Moise and Paola was very good and they were attentive to our requests. The best experience was at the Faro restaurant where they went above and beyond in providing excellent service. From the manager Maria, server Brenda and chef Sol they complimented us with great service and special requests. Kudos to Mateo, Apol and host Poalo. Need to recognize our HOF pool waiter Angel. We found him to be delightful and professional. The one big regret and complaint was that there were too many kids. Both lobbies are now being occupied by families with kids, Where as in the past it use to be one side for adults and the other side for families. They claim to have an adult area but it is limited. I speak not only for myself but for others who are long time members. They need to go back to the way it was or they will lose members to other hotels. Read less

Great resort, fantastic staff, many activities to do and great restaurants. The weather was okay, most of the time it rained and was cold. Moises, Paola and Roberto did an awesome job taking good care of us while our stay. They were very attentive to our needs and friendly. Many thanks guys for everything!
