If you’ve been putting off a family vacation to paradise for a while now, you might seriously want to reconsider. Out of all the gorgeous destinations you may want to look into, there is hardly anything better than the breathtaking beauty of the majestic Caribbean coast, waiting for you to experience at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. An all-inclusive, lush, tropical adventure at your own pace, suitable for the whole family, and with the Hard Rock hospitality that matches no other. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay!
LOCATION
The Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya is situated on the gorgeous, white-sanded, eastern coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula, in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico. With the Cancún International Airport at only 51 miles to the north and with bigger cities at close reach, there are plenty of options to choose from if you decide to dive a little deeper into the rich ancient Maya history.
With the superb amenities and the wide range of activities available at the resort, however, you’ll probably think twice before you set out on an exploration tour and miss out on anything your all-inclusive stay has to offer.
HOTEL
In a similar fashion to other Hard Rock resorts and hotels around the world, Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya focuses on the music aspect of recent generations. Quotes by famous artists adorning beautiful walls greet you as you drive up to the hotel in a private airport transfer. It becomes clear almost from the moment you step foot on the grounds that you have arrived at a different type of resort, one that rocks just a little bit harder…
Entering an impressive lobby, surrounded by rock memorabilia from some of the most famous artists of the century, is surely a treat for the eyes. Older kids can marvel at motorcycles and full-size cannons on display while parents check out outfits worn by the stars during their performances, well-preserved in glass human-sized cages. Meanwhile, younger children can enjoy playing on the expansive couches surrounding the lobby square or sit on the swing suspended from a massive oak tree.
GROUNDS
Meticulously maintained, the landscaping around the buildings is sharp and clean-looking. But as you approach the pool and main areas, it turns into plush tropical flowers and vegetation that we all so love about Caribbean destinations. The resort itself is pretty expansive with two separate sections: Heaven and Hacienda.
Hacienda, the family section of Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, has its own distinct orange color for all buildings and it is available to everyone, with amenities the whole family can enjoy at all times.
Heaven, an adults only area that can be entered by any resort guest aged 18 and over, features cooler blue tones and more adult amenities, such as clubs, bars, upscale restaurants and over the water Bali beds.
