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!

First of all Moises and Paola absolutely ROCKED IT!! They helped out with everything during our stay - amazing!! With our son's & now daughter's wedding during the stay, their help was truly appreciated. Can't say how great they were. Also, the staff at breakfast in Faro Restaurant were so friendly and warm. We had several staff wait on us and they were all great. What a refreshing way to start your day. Well Done!! The overall food in the restaurants were better than the last visit. We really enjoyed Le Petit Cochon. The food on the last visit was not up to the standard but this trip it was excellent. The only downside to the trip was the physical appearance and upkeep of our room (swim up room). The dated rooms are in need of refurbished in the worst way possible. As a HOF member, we expect better rooms unless they are all like the one we had. The room updates needs to be addressed in an urgent manner. Overall we had a wonderful trip and with the exceptional staff we could not have had a better time. Read less

Melisa at the blue pool did a fantastic job making my husband’s birthday special. All of the staff was very attentive and work hard to make your vacation special. Our 12 year old enjoyed laser tag and gaming in vibe city. The water park was a nice break from the pool but only entertained him for about an hour. We went to the Fire and Water, Queen and Neon humans shows. All were good! Everyone enjoyed the foam pool party! Read less

Overall the hotel is great for families with lots of activities for the children. However a few things need to improve for us to give 5 star and to return back. The worst was the sunbeds by the pool which was pretty much all reserved by 9am every morning. There are the ones for the legendary/upper class ones with butlers service but also other general guests leaving there personal stuffs and towels on the sunbeds (regardless of notices near the towel station and around the pool that they cannot be reserved) this basically ruin every morning, having to look for a sunbed! Buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner was good, with variety however the downside was that there was no selection of fruits at dinner time and limited at lunch. We have 2 children, 3.5 and 7 years old. Obviously my 3.5 yo wasn't allowed in the main kids club but the massive disadvantage is i couldn't even go with him in the main club. There is a section for 0 to 3 but not very equipped for 3.5 yo children (very much for babies). In other hotel we were able to go in the kids club with the under 4s and do the activities such as craft etc with them. They couldn't do the trampoline together either. The plus side was the mini bowling and the softplay. The splash park and waterpark is in a separate area and open at 11am which was late for us. At least they could have let people in to use the splash park at 10am and open only the water park at 11am. Room was quite small for a family of 4 with 2 double beds and a big tub in the room taking all the space. We were also given a connecting room so basically we heard the guests next door, their conversations, their loud alarm (which woke us up every morning at 6.30am!!). The shows in the evening were good, especially Queen tribute! Read less
