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.

We've been Legendary Club members since 2012 and this is our third time staying at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya. With a few minor exceptions, every one of our stays has been memorable and enjoyable, but this stay with our kids and grandkids was nothing short of outstanding. This is our second time staying at HRRM with the whole family. The first was five years ago and we've seen tremendous improvement in the quality of the food and services. Yes, spending time with your family is great, but it can be challenging because everyone has different needs and desires. Our butlers, Diego and Naef, knew just how to manage and conquer that challenge. These guys were amazing. They treated us like family. They handled every request and situation swiftly, reasonably and always with the greatest concern and respect. We're all sad to leave. Everyone who served us was kind and courteous: the wait staff; the housekeepers; Axel, the guy who restocked our snacks and drinks every day; Niko and Miguel, our waiters at Umo and Wai; and Santana, our waiter at Ciao. There were many more and I'm sorry I don't remember their names because they were all exceptional. I'm not saying that everything was perfect. Things will and did go wrong but that's life. If you handle things respectfully and rationally and they will be rectified. They were rectified. Read less

We had a great week at Hard Rock Riviera Maya in May 2026. We were picked up at the airport by our private driver, Cristian, and driven the 1 hour 15 minutes to the resort. We were met at the hotel by our butlers Omar and Paola, and they saw to our every need during the week. They checked on us every day and were wonderful during our stay. Can't wait to see them again on our next trip in September. Our room was in the Rock Royalty section on the adult side. The rooms have recently been updated and looked great. This was just a chill vacation for us as we have had a very busy start to 2026. Our main goals were just to sit and relax at the pool and enjoy no responsibilities for the week. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! We spent our days at the Hall of Fame pool. It is very quiet there, and we enjoyed the time both in the water and catching up on our reading! Our servers Jorge and Carmen, and bartender Ricardo, made sure our glasses stayed full and got us food when we were hungry. There is a small menu with food/snacks. We had sunny days every day of our trip, and it was fantastic! We began every day at Faro, the breakfast restaurant on the adult side of the resort. We were greeted by hostesses Jessi and Keila, and taken care of by Charly, Walter, and Kate. My husband has mobility issues and they were always looking out for him and helping to carry his plate back to the table. There are numerous stations that have custom omelets, sweets, pancakes, basically anything you want! Yummy food is prepared by chefs Sol and Alfredo, and everything is overseen by their excellent manager Maria. They really take care of you, and we look forward to seeing Maria every trip. We have been going to HRRM for years and seeing Maria is always one of the highlights of our trip. We had dinner at various restaurants, but our favorites were the newer ones, UMO and WAI. At WAI Gabriel was our server and we had crab rangoon, pad thai, spring rolls and beef satay. Everything was very good. At Zen we did the a la carte rather than hibachi, and Lalo made our visit extra special by treating us to Mexican Coffee with the special show that goes along with that! It was really nice! Toro is the steakhouse, Rigoberto was our server and we had a HUGE short rib! Our favorite for this trip was UMO (Barbacoa Maya). We went twice and had Elmer both times. He remembered us from our first visit and was so nice! We enjoyed the tortilla soup, beet salad, barbacoa taco and catch of the day. Everything we had there was excellent! My husband did the hydrotherapy most days and he highly recommends it! We only did the Queen show this visit, it was excellent, but TOO loud. I wish they would turn down the volume a bit! We avoid the Rock Show because of how loud it is. It is a large resort and my husband has mobility issues so we rent a scooter for him to zip around while we are there. It really comes in handy trying to get from place to place. We didn't do any excursions or the presentation. We just sat by the pool, had some wonderful dinners, an occasional show, and found a bar for a night cap each night. Truly a lovely, relaxing vacation. Read less

We had a great time at Hard Rock Riviera Maya. Gabriel was fantastic at facilitating our dinners, activities, etc for a decently large group. He & Samantha always had our chosen spots for us at the pool or lagoon.

If you are considering this resort, please reconsider. At the very least, do not splurge on the Rock Royalty Partial Ocean View upgrade. It will likely be a tremendous disappointment. We recently booked four rooms for our party of six and opted for the partial ocean view upgrade which cost an additional $100 per night per room. For us, that entailed a $1500 surcharge. However, just one of the rooms we were given actually had a partial ocean view. A second room had a slight view if seated on the balcony. The remaining two rooms had no view of the ocean even when sitting on the balcony! The view was trees, buildings and a bit of the pool. Photographs are attached. Additionally, none of the added incentives listed in the room description were provided to us until the last day of our stay. This Rock Royalty Partial Ocean View upgrade is a total con on the part of Hard Rock. I did complain, and was told these rooms were correctly categorized which is completely ludicrous. We were, of course, charged the double occupancy rate even for our two single occupancy rooms. A food and drink credit should have been provided accordingly. Additionally, pool chairs at this resort are impossible to find, even at the off season time of our visit. The hotel is extremely loud, the rooms are small and dated, the food is mediocre at best and you probably realize there is no beach. If you have the choice to stay somewhere else, you most definitely should. The Hard Rock Riviera Maya is a huge waste of money Read less

Our butlers Vincent and Irmin were tremendous! So professional and took care of 7 of us including our 15 month old granddaughter. Dinner reservations, Bali Beds, excursions, dinner in suite all done to perfection!!
