A Slime-Tastic Time at The Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya

By Tammy Gnagy July 23, 2022

Where are my Nickelodeon fans? 

If you grew up watching Nickelodeon shows and now your kids love them too then the new Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya is perfect for your family! 


I received complimentary and discounted accommodations to facilitate this article. However, all opinions are my own.


I will be honest, I didn't have cable growing up and I don't have the childhood memories of these shows that most adults do. But it didn't matter. The Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya is still an amazing place, full of high-energy fun (plus lots of slime!) and plenty of enjoyment for everyone.



Located about 17 miles south of the Cancun airport in Riviera Maya, Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya is a 5-star resort that includes Aqua Nick, Club Nick for kids, and Plaza Orange Entertainment Venue. It also offers the Gourmet Inclusive® Experience by Karisma, known for being the best in food, service, and hospitality. There are 6 restaurants and 3 bars on the resort property, plus 24-hour room service included in your all-inclusive experience.



The resort offers 280 suites. Every one of them includes an ocean-front view and swim-out balcony. 

If you stay on the ground floor your balcony leads directly into the main pool of the hotel! On the other floors, you have an infinity pool connected to your balcony, perfect when you don't want to leave your room. It was the perfect way to cool off at the end of our fun days.




Attached to the resort is Aqua Nick! It is a 6-acre Nickelodeon-themed water park that offers 21 slides! There is also a fun restaurant in Aqua Nick called, Nick Bistro, open for breakfast or lunch. Nick Bistro includes a special character breakfast called Pajama Jam! You can show up in your PJs and meet your favorite Nickelodeon characters. Fun!

Aqua Nick also has fun snack places offering quick kid-friendly food like pizzas and hamburgers so you can stay all day and play. 

Along with the slides and lazy rivers, there are fun kid areas called Paw Patrol Adventure Bay and Bikini Bottom Beach. And if you want to get slimed? This the place! They have a super sliming for everyone every day, and you can get your own personal slime time too. 



Along with the amazing rooms, food, and water park, Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya includes the Náay Spa, with its luxurious atmosphere and treatments; the Main Stage, a state-of-the-art entertainment venue; and Plaza Orange, which offers entertainment for the entire family! I also need to mention Club Nick — a special childcare service for kids from 4 to 12 years old! 



We had a great time at Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya. They have everything you need for your family to make memories and have a wonderful vacation too!
