Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and PAW Patrol get ready: Karisma Hotels & Resorts is opening Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya in June 2021. Beginning today, travelers can book accommodations at Mexico’s first Nickelodeon Resort, featuring one of the largest water attractions in Mexico and all ocean-front swim-up suites, accommodating families of five, for the ultimate family beach escape. Now, families can enjoy a premium vacation experience themed to Nickelodeon’s most beloved and imagination-expanding worlds, with something for everyone.
All Oceanfront, Swim-up Suites Designed for Families
Nickelodeon
Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will feature 280 oceanfront swim-up
suites, incorporating family-friendly amenities such as two bathrooms in
every suite and plenty of space for a family of five, as well as
playful design elements including art pieces pulled from beloved show
archives and furnishings inspired by Nickelodeon’s iconic colors and
current and past characters, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer. In addition, the property
will feature four rooftop, penthouse-style Signature Suites, including
the fan-favorite Pineapple Suite and the first-ever Turtle Lair Suite,
dedicated to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
“After the huge success of the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, we could not be better poised to expand the brand experience with our resort with all oceanfront swim-up suites, along with themed experiences with an extended cast of 20 your favorite Nickelodeon characters,” said Mario Mathieu, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Design and Construction of Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “This property features many firsts such as the new Turtle Lair Suite, even more dedicated entertainment spaces such as SNICK Lounge and Mainstage, and the one-of-a-kind Aqua Nick® with its epic slides, river rides and the teen-friendly Soak Summit, which will be a destination in itself.”
Aqua Nick®: Fun in the Water like You’ve Never Seen Before
At
the epicenter of the resort’s entertainment offerings is Aqua Nick®, a
six-acre themed water park featuring 2,000 sq. ft. of slides and more
than 1,820 sq. ft of river rides, including a Lazy River and a
faster-paced Adventure River, with complimentary and early access
offered to guests. Park amenities also include the relaxing Bikini
Bottom Beach, a Slime Spot, PAW Patrol Adventure Bay, an interactive
water playground, and Soak Summit with 10 spine-tingling single and
double-rider slides, including a multi-lane racing format. Because Aqua
Nick® is conveniently adjacent to the resort, guests can still enjoy
uninterrupted ocean views from their suites and seek out relaxing or
high-energy spaces as they desire.

Place™ will feature signature Nickelodeon characters such as SpongeBob
SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue from Blue’s Clues &
