Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya

About 14 miles south of Playa del Carmen, this Hard Rock outpost offers six pools along with accommodations outfitted with minibars, free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Embrace VIP treatment as you soak in your hydro spa tub and stretch out along your private balcony. If you're in need of a little Zen, check out the yoga temple, Body Rock Fitness Center or Rock Spa. Traveling with children? The kids and teens will enjoy clubs tailored to their interests with activities like singing and dancing. If you're looking for more of a grown-up getaway, book a room in Heaven — the resort's adults-only section. Hungry travelers will find delectable food at the hotel's 12 restaurants, which offer cuisine ranging from wood-fired pizzas and savory snacks to upscale Mexican dishes and French fare. Finally, if you want to shake it all night long, grab your dancing shoes and head to Club Heaven for inventive cocktails and cutting-edge tracks starting at 11 p.m.
