10 reasons why Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya is worth your money!

When I first heard the word "Hard Rock", I easily associated it with "Hard Rock Cafe" because that is where they've started and what is known for. Since I also usually do budget travels, never have I known any luxury hotels and that Hard Rock had ventured into hotel business for a long time until my sister who have married an American introduced it to me. Her husband, who happens to be a travel jock and as well a luxury hotel lover, let me experience one of Hard Rock's most loved hotel and resort.

So here are the reasons why I definitely enjoyed the hotel/resort;

1. Everything is in there that I can call it a home away from home. This is the reason why they are an all-inclusive facility. It is beyond luxury!

2. Its staff are so welcoming and hospitable that they treat you like family. They are so courteous that they smile whenever you pass by them.

   

   They are beautiful inside and out 😍!

3. They have food everywhere! If your motto is "Food is life", this kind of service is beyond satisfaction for you. But if you are on a diet, this hotel is a big frustration! They have almost all kinds of restaurants offering different cuisine from Asian to Western.

   The kids' pool in front of Hacienda. I'm sure kids would love to play with those floaters! Plus they also have kid's bar on the poolside offering kid's drinks like juices.

5. They have separate beaches! Unlike those in typical resorts which has a single stretch of beach, HRH Riviera Maya has pocket beaches within its natural lagoons.

   We go to the disco almost every night. With this cool place, upbeat music, and unlimited drinks, why not?

7. They showcase variety of events to entertain their visitors.

8. They have spas for body massage and nail care. They also have a fitness gym for you to trim those extra carbs you've gained from buffet restaurants.

9. They offer travel packages. We booked 2 tour packages. First is the Sunset sailing at the Caribbean Sea with Cancun Adventures and second is the Chichen Itza Archaeological Site with Cenote Suytun and Valladolid City Tour.
