What to expect at a Hard Rock All Inclusive hotel

Fancy living like a rock star on holiday? Put Hard Rock All Inclusive hotels on your radar and prepare to be treated like royalty for a week or two.

These music-themed hotels pull out all the stops when it comes to VIP treatment – from luxury room upgrades to discounts on big-name gigs.

We’ve partnered up with Hard Rock All Inclusive hotels across the Caribbean and Mexico, so you can choose a destination to suit you. They all sing to the same tune – expect things like music memorabilia on the walls, live music concerts and in-room record players – and they seriously raise the bar in every other respect, too.

We’re talking supersized pool scenes, exclusive private beaches and A-list extras like casinos, spas and golf courses depending on which one you head to.

We’ve cherry picked two showstopping Hard Rock All Inclusive hotels to give you an idea of what to expect.

Mexico’s Riviera Maya makes the perfect superstar setting for this Hard Rock hotel. There’s a private beach right on the doorstep, for starters, with a collection of sea-view pools to make the most of the view. Plus, because this place is divvied up into a mix of adults-only and family-friendly zones, grown-ups and families get their very own pools and beach areas. There’s a waterpark in the mix, too, and you can count on live music and entertainment by the main pool.

As for rooms, all of them have a balcony, and some come with the bonus of sea views. Spa tubs, a minibar and 24/7 room service come as standard. And if you fancy pushing the boat out you can upgrade to Hard Rock’s Rock Royalty® package for a whole load of extras. That includes an aromatherapy and pillow menu, fancy Rock Spa® bath products and a 25-minute couples' massage at the Rock Spa®.

Hungry? Not here. As well as an around-the-world themed buffet, there's a steak house, an Italian eatery, a Mexican diner and a Japanese teppanyaki place – not to mention an impressive line-up of snack joints and cocktail bars. Fuel up ready for a night at Club Heaven, the hotel’s very own nightclub, which comes complete with a live DJ and giant dancefloor.

The numbers certainly add up at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. We’re talking 11 pools, one huge waterpark with 26 themed slides, and a dining scene that ticks off a restaurant for every night of the week – and then some. Pay a bit extra and you’ve got access to an 18-hole championship golf course and a Vegas-style casino, too, which just so happens to be the biggest in the country.

This place is on the beach in Punta Cana, so you can pad down to the sand whenever you fancy. There’s paddle surfing, beach volleyball and beach football if you’re feeling energetic, or plenty of activities to try back at the central pool. Prefer to kick back and do nothing much at all? Three pool bars are your friend – as is the sax pool, AKA the quiet one.

Hard Rock All Inclusive hotels lay on plenty for little ones, too, and this place is no exception. As well as designated kids’ pools and child-friendly slides in the waterpark, there’s a hotel-run Roxity kids’ club to keep them busy. Rock Family Suites sleep up to six people and you get a lounge area to chill out in, plus a balcony or terrace with a private whirlpool. There are loads of upgrade options, too, so you can put all the finishing touches on your perfect trip.
