Live out your rock star dreams at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya along the crystal-clear blue Caribbean Sea. The all-inclusive resort has the adults-only Heaven section and a family-friendly area called Hacienda. Both areas provide luxury guest rooms and suites, exciting outdoor activities, multiple swimming pools, and an array of elevated culinary opportunities.
Here’s how you can live your best rock star vacation while staying at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.
Ride In Style Like A Rock Star
Fly into Cancun International Airport and have a private shuttle drive you straight to the resort. This can be arranged when you make your vacation reservation. Sit back and enjoy a little over an hour’s ride south along the Riviera Maya, past Playa del Carmen, to a town called Puerto Aventuras.
Book A Rock Star Suite
All throughout the resort, even in the guest rooms and suites, the walls are decorated with rock memorabilia. Amenities include a private terrace in some of the ground-floor rooms. Steps lead down to a swim-up pool. Swing in your own personal hammock out on your terrace.
The luxury in-room soaking tub near the king-size bed is ideal to fill up, add bath salts, and soak. There is a small refrigerator stocked with beer, water, and soda. An array of complimentary snacks is replenished daily. Sleep on a bed made for a king or queen of the stage. The luxury sheets and mattress aid in a good night’s sleep.

Rest Like A Rock Star At Eden Pool
In the jungle of Eden Pool, reserve a cabana at the adult-only exclusive swimming pool and swim-up bar. A pool butler will bring a bottle of champagne on ice and an icebox filled with bottled waters for up to 6 groupies.
Order anything off the menu, from mango margaritas to chicken nachos, short rib tacos, salads, and ceviche. The cabana is steps from the pool, offering adult activities throughout the day. Take an aqua exercise class or play blackjack in the pool with betting chips, cup holders for your drinks, and lively music.
Chill Like a Rockstar
Along the Caribbean Sea, there are exclusive beach areas to sip a beverage, soak in the sun, snorkel in a protected lagoon, and nap under an umbrella in a comfortable lounge chair.
Get The VIP Rock Spa Treatment
The Rock Spa offers luxurious wellness treatments starting with an Aqua Circuit experience. Start in a warm or hot sauna, before visiting an ice room to apply crushed ice all over your face, arms, and legs.
There are three different treatment pools providing different temperatures. Start in the medium heat pool, before stepping into a cold plunge, and then finish in a hot whirlpool. Afterwards, recline on a comfortable lounge chair with cucumber slices on your eyes before your rock star massage or facial.
Indulge In Culinary Delights Like A Rock Star
Enjoy elevated meals at UMO, WAI, and FARO in the Heaven section of the resort. UMO offers the flavors of the Yucatan Peninsula with authentic ingredients, spices, and recipes. WAI provides Asian delights inspired by Thai cuisine. Pad Thai noodle dishes, wok-fried proteins and vegetables, and tropical desserts are some favorite menu items.
FARO Gastro Market is open for breakfast and lunch as a buffet-style food hall. Stop at the different areas to have a custom-made omelet or sandwich. There is a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, and Mexican-inspired items to select from. Servers will bring coffee, tea, juice, champagne, and mimosas to your table.
Over in the Hacienda area, there are numerous family-friendly eateries that include Frida, named after artist Frida Kahlo, offering a modern take on Mexican cuisine. ISLA and The Market are colorful spots that will appeal to all with different stations of delectable items. Other themed eateries include a French brasserie and TORO, a modern steakhouse.
