I recently stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun for a week with a group that began as 14 people and eventually became 11, due to scheduling conflicts. Despite calling the hotel months in advance to notify them of our large group, we faced constant challenges dining together. We were only able to eat as a full group on our final night—after repeated complaints and frustration. The hotel was entirely unaccommodating to large parties, often splitting us up and even denying us dessert on multiple occasions because the kitchen “closed” as our dinner was finally being served—after we had already waited two hours at our table. We also booked a birthday package, but were passed between the front desk, vacation planners, and concierge with no one taking responsibility. In the end, parts of the package were never delivered. Additionally, we booked a catamaran excursion through the hotel that left two hours late and was severely overbooked. We were told to expect 40 guests, but over 70 people were crammed onto the boat. Throughout the trip, we experienced missing food items at nearly every dinner and consistently slow, inattentive service. The front desk and concierge were unhelpful, offering little more than apologies without action. This trip has been deeply disappointing. I’ve spent hours—before and during the vacation—trying to fight for the experience my family paid for, only to be met with disorganization, poor communication, and a lack of accountability. We expected better from a resort of this caliber. we are also dipping sweat at every meal. the pool staff was great though! ( we had a pool cabana)
