HARD ROCK HACIENDA RIVIERA MAYA DRIVER

*Pack a little bag for your child with anything they might need while not with you. I just find they’re super hands on with kids and want to engage them and play. I’ve even picked up my daughter at the end of the day with her hair fully braided. Even between their scheduled activities I find they are amazing at keeping the kids occupied during the day in between by doing face painting, playing board games like lotteria (Mexico’s version of bingo), painting, colouring with the kids, making beaded necklaces or playing dress up. Each day they have a schedule of activities usually with a theme for example like pirates complete with a day filled with treasure hunts, making pirate hats and pirate face painting. The Hard Rock kids club staff have always been great with the kids. I have fun memories of taking her in as a baby and then as a toddler just to check things out, play with other kids or just watch what was going on. My daughter has spent a lot of time in Hard Rock Riviera Maya’s Kids Club.

You can ask the driver to make a quick stop for you as it’s on the way. *If you take a private shuttle or taxi to the hotel and need snacks for the kids or feel for a quick little coffee pick me up for the drive…there is a Starbucks with a drive-thru and a 7-Eleven convenience store located just about 10 minutes from the airport on the same side of the highway you’ll be travelling. A private van just allows you to comfortably stretch out. The resort shuttles are often on large coach buses and some depending on the tour operator you booked through may end up having to make a few stops to let off passengers to other hotels. *Take a private transfer! When travelling with kids and needing to drive at least an hour to get to a resort from the airport I feel a private transfer is definitely worth it. Just plan ahead to have snacks, juice, milk or water on hand for little ones for that last leg of the drive to get to the hotel as you’re adding on another hour and a bit from the time you actually get through the airport after a fairly long travel day.

It takes approximately an hour to get to HRRM from the Cancun airport although I’d say closer to 80 minutes or so if you’re travelling during the day because I find the traffic through Playa del Carmen to be pretty bad. The hotel is located just south of Playa del Carmen in the Puerto Aventuras area. Here’s a detailed look at our experience at staying at Hard Rock Riviera Maya with our young daughter. It’s one of the few resorts we go to that we think allows guests to feel like they’re actually in Mexico versus a hotel filled with polished marble, brass & foreign pieces of art everywhere. I’ve always loved the look and feel of the resort as the entire property has a unique take on traditional Mexican architecture mixed with a fun modern Hard Rock vibe. We do work quite often at HRRM and the resort has quickly become one of our favourites both professionally and personally. Since then we’ve had the opportunity to stay often overnight for a few nights at a time and even on occasion with daypasses. Hard Rock Riviera Maya (HRRM) is probably the single hotel we’ve spent the most time at as a family over the years! HRRM is actually the first all-inclusive resort in Mexico our daughter visited at just 2 months old.
