    Awesome Cancun experience—we just keep going back!

    This is our favorite of the Hard Rock resorts! The staff is so amazing, many of them have been there for years and really enjoy their jobs. It shows! The service is impeccable, the butlers are particularly impressive. Jessy and Kevoy are our faves! They definitely go above and beyond. The beach and pool staff, the restaurants and waitstaff, the custodial staff are all just truly amazing, pleasant and exceptionally efficient. Don’t miss out on the spa experience! Not only did we have an amazing couples massage but both of our kids had pedicures that they loved. Planning our next adventure!

    Stay Away

    Our family of 5 traveled to the Hard Rock Cancun on 12/23 for a much anticipated vacation we had booked thru RCI. Upon arriving at the gate guard we were informed we were not on the guest registry of guests arriving that day. We gave them our confirmation number and we were allowed access. I went into the lobby at 9pm, we were the only people checking in, the front desk attendant waited 5 minutes before acknowledging my existence. Then she informed me I had to get my entire family together to get the wrist bands. I did this and provided her with my confirmation number. At this point she asked me to take a seat because her supervisor needed to speak with us. I asked her what this was regarding. I said we were exhausted from traveling all day and just wanted to get to our room. She told me take a seat. At that point, the reservation supervisor on duty, Suyapa Rodriguez, told us that that the Hard Rock did not have a room for us and would be sending us down the road to the Ava resort (a sister resort) which I had never heard of and wan in a totally different/more remote area. At this point we stated this was unacceptable. We wanted to stay in the resort we reserved months ago, spent a lot of money on and that we were familiar with. We asked to speak to Suyapa's supervisor. As this point Leopold Septulyura came out to speak to us. He repeated they did not have a room for us at the Hard Rock Cancun. He admitted they knew that morning they did not have a room for us and still allowed us to travel out of the country without giving us prior notification. They had security (in a somewhat threatening manner) walk us out and put us in a taxi and sent us 30 minutes down the road to a "sister" resort we had never heard of and knew nothing about. We were scared and confused. The new resort was back by the airport where we had just come from. We had been told by the Hard Rock we would be given a like-kind suite and would be treated like VIP's due to what we had been thru. More lies. We did not want to leave but security escorted us to the taxi and we were in a foreign country at night with our children so did not feel we had a choice. When we got to the new resort (the Ava resort) they had no idea we were coming. Additionally, we were told they had no suites available. We were supposed to stay in a two bedroom ocean view suite. Instead, we were put in two regular hotel rooms down the hall from each other. They said they did not have adjoining rooms or rooms next to one another so we were completely separated from our children. Because we were shuttled back and forth all night we did not arrive until 11pm and we were informed all of the restaurants were closed so we were not able to eat after traveling all day and paying for all inclusive that day. We were told that we needed reservations for all the restaurants. The next morning we waited in the long line to make reservations and were told they could only make reservations for two night for all of us. They informed us we should have made the reservations before we got there. Obviously, this was impossible since we did not know we would be staying there. The new resort "opened" in July and it became apparent they were not ready structurally or management-wise to be open. There was construction going on constantly. Elevators did not work, hallways leading to unfinished areas with graffiti etc. Both our shower and the children's shower drain leaked like crazy and we had to call over and over again to fix. There was a rain storm and the entire hotel flooded everywhere. Water gushing down the walls, water pouring out of light fixtures and from the window wells. After this storm the entire resort smelled like mold, especially when the AC was on, which was non-stop. Pool service and service at the restaurants was incredibly slow. The staff was lovely and funny, but clearly they were completely overwhelmed. I will also say the food was great which you never know with an all inclusive. Drinks were very watered down, but typical for a all inclusive. I picked the Hard Rock due to it's location Downtown Cancun and the fact it was on the public bus line. The Ava resort is in a very remote location right next to the airport. The bus did not go there and we actually had to cancel an excursion we had planned because the tour company would not travel that far out to pick us up. Additionally, we had planned to take the bus to the ferry to go to Isla de Mujeres. This would have cost us $5, instead we had to pay $189 for a shuttle to the ferry depot. Finally, we were pretty much stuck at the resort instead of being able to explore downtown Cancun via the bus like we had planned. Additionally, we chose it due to the reviews and pictures of the gorgeous beach. The beach at the Ava is pretty much non-existent and disgusting. There is seaweed everywhere and trash all over the beach and water. It is located in a cove so the seaweed and trash does not have anywhere to go. Their solution to the seaweed is a bobcat that runs non-stop which is noisy, smells and honestly is a waste of time. They are unable to control the seaweed. Finally, relaxing on the beach is impossible due to the non-stop airplanes taking off and landing. Never did we receive any communication from Hard Rock. I tried to call them for days and was never able to reach a manager. I emailed them and finally heard back days later. I was told we would not be receiving a refund because they had given us a day pass to the hard rock with transportation provided back and forth as well as a three day certificated to use at the Hard Rock sometime in 2025. More lies! We had never heard from anyone at the Hard Rock or offered any type of compensation. When I informed them of this they said they had gotten us confused with someone else. I was shocked to learn that this had happened to someone else and that they had been offered compensation and we had not. We had booked this thru our timeshare RCI. I contacted them during the trip to see if they could find us acceptable accommodations and they said everything downtown Cancun was booked which I find hard to believe. RCI said they could not issue us a refund since it was not their mistake and we were given alternate accommodations. We have not been offered any sort of refund even though the "new" resort would have been over 2K less for what we were given versus what we booked and even though we spent over 1300 for our first day at the resort and were not able to enjoy any of the resort amenities. I have never experience customer service like this which says a lot since I am in sales. Stay away from the Hard Rock and I think it is going to be at least a year before the Ava Resort is really ready for guests. Additionally, I am incredibly disappointed at how RCI handled this situation after being faithful members for over 20 years. mil

    Not the wroth

    Went to Hardrock Cancun December 2024. Best part of our trip was excellent service from Jessy, she was excellent and which is why I gave 2 star. Food was not upto Hardrock standards not much Vegetarian options and very few restaurants. Would not go back, not worth at all for the amount we paid for. Would not recommend this location. Went to Riu Palace in Jan 2024 so much better food options for Vegetarian they had special menu for Vegetarian.
