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!

Exceptional service with the best, friendly staff at Faro restaurant especially. The team of wonderful chefs and waiting staff looked after us all holiday, even preparing a special farewell (with cake!) on our final day. Particular mention to Mac our waiter for an awesome experience. We will be back!

Family of 4, kids ages 17 and 22. The resort had a beautiful lake pool with waterfalls on the family side, they had a nice volleyball pool too. The beach was very nice but the beach is contained behind a rock retaining wall, but it was a nice swimming area as there was no seaweed. The good - food was good and a very good variety. Breakfast buffet was very good, they also have a buffet available at the pools for lunch and this was nice as you could eat lunch at your pool chairs if you wanted too. The room key is your bracelet and serves as your towel card as well so you can grab all the dry towels you want during the day. Snacks in your room is a huge plus, mini fridge is stocked with soda, beer, water, chips and peanuts. My kids enjoyed the waterpark. Bar service at the pool was slow but the waitstaff at the pool and beach was excellent as they were always coming around with drinks. The bad - this resort does get crowded, the buffet gets crowded as well. The pools get crowded too. It is a huge resort but crowds are everywhere. The restaurants do not take reservations so it is first come, first serve so expect to wait an hour or 2 for dinner, especially at The Steakhouse. If you get there early, between 5:00-5:30 then you don’t have to wait. But the restaurants have very good food and very good service. The beach/pool chair reserving is horrible. The resort reserves all of the good chairs/cabanas for certain parties of people that they call Hall of Famers, I have no idea what this is about but obviously they pay extra for this service. I would not come back for this reason alone as it is difficult to find chairs in the shade. We lost A/C in the resort rooms for one full day and they told us they were having electrical problems. It was very uncomfortable in the room for that day but that was the only day we lost the A/C. Not many shows at night, not much for entertainment at nighttime. Overall, we enjoyed the food, drinks, pool and beach. It was a relaxing family vacation. Read less

This trip was great. Paula Severino was our butler for the week. She is the perfect definition of the word butler. She has a welcoming smile every time you see her. Paula tries her best and works very hard to accomodate everyones requests. I will say she is extremely successful. While on vacation she wants everyone to enjoy every moment as she has all your reservations etc. under control. Giving you a daily reminder of what is happening and what reservations you may have each day. Upon arrival we met Mr. Karlos Baeza who works with Legendary Members. He made us feel like we were home. We felt so at ease speaking with him, very friendly and professional. We had an issue with our room and he had it all resolved by the time we checked in. Thank you for saving the day. The Restaurant UMO is beyond outstanding. Raul the manager has everything running smoothly. Has a great personality perfect for being a manager. His staff does an outstanding job. Chef Abel and Miguel created meals to remember long after you return home. Both in flavor and in presentation. Lenyn the waiter made a special coffee. It was a show stopper by itself, his talent in preparing it took our breath away. This is our favorite restaurant in the entire resort. It offers everything you need and want. Wai the Thai restaurant offers a good variety of dishes and are all prepared beautifully. The bar tenders working at the location between Wai and UMO made their own speciality drinks for us nightly. It was such a hit other guest were requesting the drinks we were having. Great bartenders they engaged in conversation with everyone seated making for a pleasant evening while you waited. This location has 1 big problem they DON'T have sufficient wash clothes. Everyday we were only given 1. Housekeeping simply said they didn't have any. This wasn't just us we spoke with several other guest all having the same issue. The shows were better than offered in other locations. Neon and Queen Tribute were fantastic. I had a massage by Diana she was so good I went back for another one before leaving. Read less

Our family had a great time. The entertainment at the pool was so fun. Water aerobics with Grecia was a good workout and fun which is the best of both worlds.
