The hotel

Shout out to Samantha and Ferndada Diaz our butlers who were attentive and helpful! Two thumbs up to 2 waiters at the whi Thai restaurant: Franky Fransisco and Manuel ( Spider-Man and Batman I believe😘). Had a 5 star experience at the spa… thank you Karla for relaxing massage and Mirtha for deep tissue massage. Can not say enough about how the folks at Faro restaurant made us feel every morning for breakfast and lunch (ps best lunch and breakfast at resort!). From the manager , Marissa to the hostesses, Sara and Maricruz… but our waiters Manu, Francisco, Marco and Gabi were friendly and with the warmest smiles ever!!! Also complements to the chefs at Faro: Ordonz and Cynthia! The sweet note on our last day almost made me cry! Thank you all!! Read less

We had our destination wedding here with 35 of our close friends and family! The months leading up to the wedding, the staff were attentive to our emails and coordination. We arrived a few days before the wedding and enjoyed the lovely restaurants, pools, beach cabanas, and roof-top jacuzzi attached to our room. The staff held meetings with us on the days leading up to the wedding and took care of everything. Our wedding coordinator, Elena, and our photographers with JJ Studio were so amazing to work with! I am not someone who really enjoys getting their picture taken, but JJ Studio worked with me and produced AMAZING photos that we will cherish forever. The days after the wedding, the hotel helped arrange tours in nearby areas. It was truly a trip to remember and we plan on coming back for an anniversary trip soon. Read less

We saw monkeys , fish , agouti, iguana, and beautiful birds. Everyday was sunny , warm and filled with plenty of alcohol and food. We saw the Beatles, and Elvis!!! Yes both are still alive and working in Mexico. I would like to thank some staff members who made our trip memorable. - [x] Manu and Gaby at Faro (Photo) Roberto at Le petit Maria at le petit !

We just stayed at HRRM from 11/26-12/1. My husband and I stayed on the Hacienda Azul side and our family stayed on the Hacienda Rojo side. Both sides are family-friendly with the exception of a few places. Our room was very nice. The bed was very comfy, the room was clean, the water pressure was perfect, and the 24 hour room service was great! We met my family at the pools behind Lobby Hacienda Rojo everyday. Our pool server was Roberto and he did everything for us. He greeted us, remembered our drink orders, got us food and dry towels and anything else that we needed. He was a fabulous server and very nice to all of us! He went above and beyond and deserves all the tips!!! The food was awesome by the pools. We had pizza, fries, chicken strips, wing dings, fajita chicken, and more. We took our almost-two-year-old and he loved the pizza and fries! Also, every restaurant filled up his sippy cup with milk or water! Everyone was so nice and welcoming to not only us but our son as well! We ate at The Market for breakfast and dinner multiple times throughout the week because it is a buffet and had a lot of options. Esteban was our favorite waiter there. He was very nice and made sure we were happy with our food and drinks. There are golf carts running all day to transport you between the two lobbies. All of the drivers were very nice and my son loved riding in the carts. One driver even took us on a ride to see if we could find any monkeys! All staff was amazing and helpful. Our wedding was in the middle of the week and it was fabulous! My on-site wedding coordinator was Lenny. She did anything and everything to make our day extra special. She was very nice and so helpful. Our photographer was JJ Studio. We had a meeting with Victor two days before our wedding to confirm all details and Juan was our photographer. Both were very nice and professional and helped us with anything that we needed! The photos came out so beautiful and were actually ready to view the day before we left, which was only a day after the wedding! I definitely recommend them to anyone getting married or just wanting photos on vacation! I chose the most simple wedding package because we only had 3 guests. Everything that I chose was the “complimentary” options. We had our ceremony with bridal entrance music and couple exit music, cake and drinks for our guests. We also asked for a stand to put our cell phone stands on so that we could live stream the ceremony for our family and friends at home. The entire vacation was amazing and we will definitely go back! I’ve already recommended the hotel to multiple friends for future vacations!! Read less
