5. Hard Rock Hotel Cancun
The Hard Rock Hotel Cancun is the place to stay if you’re looking to live it up like a rock star in the middle of Cancun, Mexico’s Hotel Zone. With seven bars on the property, you certainly won’t find yourself lacking for entertainment. The rocker attitude continues into this Hard Rock’s six restaurants, most of which do not require reservations or a suit jacket, for that matter. Even the rooms and suites seem like they’re straight out of “MTV Cribs,” with each containing a two-person hydro spa tub, a satellite TV, a balcony and a stocked minibar. But just because your bedroom features loads of perks meant for adults doesn’t mean that the Hard Rock isn’t kid-friendly: Guests enjoy the ability to drop the youngsters off at the Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club before getting pampered with a massage at Rock Spa. You can always hit the lagoon-style pool or beach together later. And if you came to Cancun to take advantage of its flowing fairways, you’ll be happy to know that the hotel staff can arrange tee times and lessons at the nearby 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Design course at the Riviera Cancun Golf Club. Regardless of how you choose to spend your vacation here, you’ll enjoy all meals and drinks, nightly entertainment and daily fitness classes, games and more thanks to the resort’s all-inclusive rates.
