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. Two expansive pools and Rockaway Bay a 23-slide waterpark, five restaurants, endless water activities and the Kids' club should give you a good idea. Plus when staying in the Hacienda section, you'll have access to 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 was the best first time to Riviera Maya. Went with some family friends and their timeshare and had two of the greatest butlers you could ask for, Vincent and Moises. Very attentive, did everything we had asked and more, and made sure they used their connections to get us into places where it would’ve been a little more difficult. Can’t thank… Read more

While I specifically chose this resort based on an amazing experience in 2018, this anniversary trip was very disappointing. Knowing that we were arriving a few days after Hurricane Beryl, I was able to shrug off our first room that had power issues, our second room that had flooding issues, and even our third room that we had to walk up and down to due to a broken elevator, there’s no excuse for unfriendly staff. We felt that as English speaking guests, we were ignored by many staff who would first attend to Spanish speaking guests. This was not our first visit to an all inclusive, so we have other resorts to compare the service to. We do tip generously when possible, we are very polite to the staff and are not demanding people. There’s just a big divide between resorts that make you feel welcome, and Hard Rock Riviera Maya. The food and “top shelf” liquor was very different from my pre Covid visit, and I have pictures to prove it. This was just another example of raising prices but lowering quality. Read less

The staff in HRRM were amazing as always, even just after a hurricane. The staff worked diligently to clean up the aftermath and ensure all enjoyed their stay. The care and attention are top notch! Our dining experience at Frida with Daan and his team (Jesus & Marcos) was our favorite, from the food and beverage suggestions, to the attention to detail, to the care and hospitality. The food was cooked perfectly and our needs and wants were anticipated and fulfilled. We wish a few things hadn’t changed from past visits with other food choices and pricing, but our vacation was relaxing and enjoyable. Read less
