The hotel

Fancy a little rock star treatment? You’ll feel like a VIP all the way and deservedly so at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. Split into two sections, Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya Heaven is a partly adults-only oasis offering luxurious accommodation, four pools, four restaurants and endless water activities. Treat yourself at the Rock Spa® or simply soak up the Mexican sun on the white sand beach. There’s also the Hard Rock golf course (20 minutes away) and you’ve got easy access to it as well as preferential tee times. Plus staying at the Heaven section, you will have full access to the facilities within the family friendly Hacienda section, giving you even more dining options and pools to enjoy. An All Inclusive resort, its 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!

Never had better service than at Hard Rock Rivera Maya. The food was delicious in the restaurants, buffets, and even at the snack bars on the beach. We had Erika and Mauricio as our butlers and our vacation wouldn’t be half as good without them. We went with a big group of 16 and they made sure we would have a table together or even chairs at the beach. Anything from reserving massages to making sure we got a ride to the airport on time, they did for us which made this vacation so much easier. They answered any questions we had right away and made this vacation absolutely stress free. Truly relaxing experience! Read less

My husband and I went to the Hard Rock Riveira Maya for a friends wedding and unfortunately part of our trip was impact by Hurricane Beryl. However, all of the staff did an amazing job at keeping everyone safe and well informed. We were so impressed with how everything was handled. Once the hurricane passed we could enjoy everything as planned and had a great time. My husband and I had Legendary Hall of Fame status for our trip and Diego and Gabriel were so helpful for absolutely everything. From reserving spots at the pool, to coordinating dinner reservations, to answering every question I had, they were amazing. They both kept checking on us regularly during the hurricane and throughout our trip which was so thoughtful. We look forward to coming back but hopefully this time not during a hurricane! Read less

There was one person in particular who worked there who made our whole entire stay so memorable and amazing! Mukul - We just absolutely loved him! He is the bartender at the Heaven Lounge. He provided the best experience for us with fire cocktails, a wide array of fun drinks & whatever we requested! His drinks all tasted phenomenal and he gave us excellent customer service every evening!! Mukul just had the best personality & he was so much fun! The last night of our stay he gave my husband an epic final Birthday send off with the most spectacular fire drink we will ever experience! Thank you Mukul for making our stay totally awesome!!!!

My brother and I are allergic to nuts and the staff here, at Rivera Maya, did an AMAZING job accommodating us. Specifically, Luis Castro and Axel. They went above and beyond making us special desserts making sure it had not been cross been contaminated. Also the entertainment team on the blue side, specifically July and Danny boy. They were so sweet remembering our names after the first encounter, pulling us into fun games, saying hello anywhere they saw us, and making the extra effort to get us all shirts as a good bye gift. This is my favorite hard rock hotel, I’ve been coming since they opened the Rivera Maya one. Definitely recommend! Read less
