Going on vacation is all about letting loose and having fun, so pack up and
head for party central at Hard Rock Hotel Cancun (formerly Cancun Palace), a
resort located in Cancun's popular hotel zone. Great design is integral to the
12-story complex (updated with a modern convention center and plans for
exciting new presidential suites) that draws vacationers with its party
atmosphere, fun nightlife and kid-friendly perks, like the waterslides in the
kids' pool.

Great for families
Resort is beautiful, very stylish and easy to get around. The entertainment was top notch and the entertainment staff do a great job to get everyone participating and having a good time.
Rooms were very comfortable. We upgraded to the diamond level and received top shelf liquor options.
Restaurants were very good, breakfast was average..not a lot of options and every place had the same items day after day without a lot of variety.
The pool is high energy, with a dj in afternoons...great music, and a lot for our teenagers to do. My son was abel to check out a guitar for his entire stay which was great on the rainy day we had.
If you have a family, there is something here for everyone. We felt totally safe and had a great time on our excursion to Xplor. That is a definite do!
We stayed 5 nights beginning on Christmas Day. Platinum room facing the Ocean, not rock royalty. We have stayed at several all inclusive resorts previously. We had out two daughters 19 and 21 with us. We picked this because we thought it would be a younger adult crowd. That really wasn’t the case- a lot of families with young kids. This may have been due to the time of year of our trip. They still had fun! Every night some type of event.
The food is very good, selection excellent. They have several restaurants that require reservations and if you have someone who is an early riser they can head over to the reservation desk at 7am (this has to be done in person) and we always were able to get what we wanted. There are also other dining options available and Room service is included!!!
Beach/pool is awesome- again if you are a late riser you may have an issue finding seating.
The room had an incredible view, balcony and in room liquor dispenser. The only issue we had with the whole stay was that we had a room with double beds and they were full size. My husband is 6 foot tall and his feet hung off. Usually queen beds are the norm , I think due a large hot tub in the room the space was limited to the full size. If you get a single -it’s a king bed and this would be a non-issue for you. A minor thing! - say’s the 5’2 wife!! lol
This resort has the most incredible staff I have ever encountered!!! Every single one bent over backwards to make sure all of our needs were met, without ever being intrusive. We tipped frequently but were never made to feel like we had to. From the moment we arrived – drinks brought to us in the lobby until we departed we felt like superstars!!
Honestly, I have been to several resorts and this one was top notch, they use top shelf liquor and the staff is always going out of there way to ensure you are always satisfied. Gaucho steakhouse and hibachi restaurant were amazing. Stay on the rock royalty level, you will not regret it. Cannot wait to go back and stay longer this time!

The best search tool to find the best prices for golf is to utilize the "HOTELS" tab on the tool bar and select "Hotel Finder". This will then allow you to narrow your search for the resort that fits you best.
DanielleCC
The hard Rock gives you $1,500 worth of resort credit. That is more than enough to set up a golf trip. Book your golf outing as soon as you check in

You can use the $1500 on almost anything, You need to ask more than one person becsuse you will find out you casn use it on more than you where told at the beginning.
Lynne313
Not much...the gift shop doesn't accept the credit. They have a small area that does but it only offers sculptures priced at like $500. You cannot buy shirts or anything else. You can use it towards a massage, we recieved a $750 credit. and when we booked the massage they said we could use $50 towards it and had to pay $130 out of pocket. It is probably best to use it on the excursions. We chose and outside excursion and it was well worth the money.

With the Palace credits, which excursions are available?2 answers
Also, can we use it towards renting jet skis and such at the hotel? We will be staying at Cancun Palace, 8/2-8/9.
8 years, 103 months ago
Elen
Hi Elen--
The resort is going to offer a variety of excursions, everything from tours of the ruins to swimming with dolphins. Typically, renting jet skis are at an additional charge, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Once you arrive, the Concierge will be able to give you all of the information and schedule it for you. Have a wonderful time in Mexico!
LaurenCC
No, the only way we could get Jet Ski's was by taking the "vacation club" tour. But you can go to Coba, Chitchenitza, zip-line, etc...Go onto the Palace resorts site and it gives a complete listing. Have fun

If you are looking at the Ocean from Hard Rock. Secrets is on the left and The Marriot is on the right.

In order to book your time share, you will have to contact the hotel directly. Cheap Caribbean does not have access to the time share information.
KateHCC
It's now called the Hard Rock Cancun. I feel sorry for you buying into time shares. it's a gimmic that makes no sense. you're paying into a company to purchase a vacation when they feel you should take it. Get rid of it as soon as possible.

The room is not guaranteed to be ready until the listed check in time. Early check in can be requested, but is based on room availability and is at resort's discretion. For early arrivals, the resort will hold luggage so guests can enjoy the rest of the facilities until the room is ready.
CCGreg
You can still eat or relax by the pool until check in time. Sometimes they will let you check in early if there is room.

Hotel Description
Hard Rock Hotel Cancun: Have Fun at the Party Central, Kid-Friendly and
All-Inclusive Resort
Going on vacation is all about letting loose and having fun, so pack up and
head for party central at Hard Rock Hotel Cancun (formerly Cancun Palace), a
resort located in Cancun's popular hotel zone. Great design is integral to the
12-story complex (updated with a modern convention center and plans for
exciting new presidential suites) that draws vacationers with its party
atmosphere, fun nightlife and kid-friendly perks, like the waterslides in the
kids' pool.
Beachfront property has never been as rewarding as the wide stretch of ivory
sand outside the resort. Pick up a strawberry daiquiri from the Beach Bar and
kick back on a lounge chair while the kids splash in the surf. The huge,
free-form, infinity pool is a hotspot, where guests converge and make new
friends with liquid aid from the two swim-up bars. Sit down to a meal with new
friends at any of the five dining options. Kids light up while watching the
teppanyaki show at Zen, and the fine cuts at Ipanema impress protein
fanatics. Catch a dance show at the amphitheater before heading to the
happening Lobby Bar for live music, top-shelf margaritas and fun activities.
The kids are bound to have fun at the supervised Kids Club. Arts and crafts,
air hockey and foosball keep the little ones occupied while parents check out
three nearby golf courses. Riviera Cancun Golf Club is a signature Jack
Nicklaus, 18-hole course with vegetation, wetlands and challenging bunkers. The
Kid's Club will keep kids entertained while hanging out with their favorite characters like Barney, Thomas the Tank Engine and Bob the Builder, so you can tee-off worry free!
We love Jacuzzis, and Hard Rock hotel Cancun is a resort that does, too! The
Superior Deluxe Room with an ocean view and works great for families thanks to
two double beds and a fantastic, double Jacuzzi for a nice, long soak. Couples looking
for the next-level of service spring for the Deluxe Diamond Room with a
Golf/Spa package. Adults only, Deluxe Diamond Rooms offer 24-hour room service,
delicious, nightly petit fours and private check-in/check-out for the full VIP
treatment.
