It boasts 13 sparkling pools, 19 themed bars and lounges and nine restaurants that cater to your cravings, whether you want freshly caught seafood, American-style comfort fare or Asian-fusion cuisine. The ORO nightclub lures revelers with its DJs and 14,000 square feet of dance space across two levels. Guests have access to the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, and trained instructors are on hand to help you tackle the 16-and-a-half-foot climbing wall, which has three levels of difficulty. Each room at the Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana has a private balcony, liquor dispenser and double Jacuzzi tubs. The Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta celebrated its grand opening in August 2012. This resort is Hard Rock's first property in Mexico, fronting the blue waters of Banderas Bay on the Pacific coast. Six restaurants specialize in various cuisines, like Italian, Brazilian and Mexican. The Rock Spa offers soothing sea views alongside its massage therapies and body and facial treatments; a hydrotherapy circuit features whirlpools, a steam room and sauna.
