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!

We had 2 personal assistants Mafer and Paola who treated us like royalty. The food was excellent. The Hard Rock was beautiful. This is our third year here and we will be back next year.

The food ranged from quite good to very poor. The room felt that it could use a refresh. Most of the staff were excellent. There’s no swimming in the sea. In room dining was not very good and took forever to arrive. The checkin experience was quite poor.

Beautiful hotel, spacious, with spectacular views. Lots of swimming pools, natural beaches and great places to sunbathe. Very attentive service from all staff who do their best to provide excellent service. Highlight for the friendly Seli from the Hall of Fame pool. Very friendly and kind attendant! At the Ciao restaurant, our friendly waiter Roger served us very well. Very attentive. At the Faro restaurant, our dear Manu and the friendly Franc are very helpful. Everyone at this restaurant is very kind. Javier served us very well at the Toro restaurant, too. The employees in general are very helpful. It would be unfair not to highlight this point. Chicks to be improved. Our room in building 3 was bad. Small and very noisy as it was next to the elevator and next to the stairs. Many rude guests talking loudly in the corridors and making noise. Some employees collecting dishes make noise in the early hours of the morning too. Very uncomfortable! The Toro restaurant has good food, as do Wai and Umo. The Ciao improves on last year but is far from being the best of previous years. The Frenchman Le Petit Cochon was a regular. Noisy and uncomfortable environment. The hotel in general years ago was more comfortable and less crowded. It has become very populated with entire families, which makes access to beach chairs, swimming pools and quieter places difficult. Restaurants are crowded with employees running everywhere. The service is good but the food lacks quality. Overall, the beauty of the hotel plus the beautiful views make up for the negative points. But we have to improve what was already excellent. Our butler Mafer is attentive and concerned about our well-being. Positive point for her. Read less
