Aqua Nick: The Ultimate Water Park

Let’s start with the highlight for most families—Aqua Nick, the resort’s massive water park. This is the first Aqua Nick in North America, and it’s packed with slides, splash zones, and lazy rivers that keep everyone entertained for hours. For the little ones, there’s a mini splash area with gentle water features. Meanwhile, older kids and adults can tackle the high-speed slides that twist and turn like a cartoon chase scene.

One of the coolest parts? The interactive water play structures. You’ll find themed zones where kids can “battle” with water cannons, splash around under giant tipping buckets, or just float along the lazy river with a drink in hand. It’s basically a giant playground—but with water. And honestly, what kid (or parent) wouldn’t love that?

If you're worried about safety, don’t be. The park is designed with families in mind, offering clearly marked areas for different age groups. Plus, lifeguards are always on duty to make sure everyone stays safe while having a blast.

Themed Suites That Spark Joy

Staying at Nickelodeon Resort Riviera Maya isn’t just about what you do during the day—it’s also about how you rest at night. The suites are designed with playful themes that bring Nickelodeon characters to life. Imagine walking into a room that feels like SpongeBob’s pineapple under the sea—or waking up surrounded by the bold colors and fun vibes of a Nick Jr. adventure.

These aren’t just themed for kids, either. The decor is stylish enough for adults to enjoy, and the layout is perfect for families. You’ll find plenty of space to spread out, with separate sleeping areas, cozy lounges, and even bunk beds for the little ones. The bathrooms are designed with both kids and parents in mind, with step stools, child-height sinks, and even themed bath products that make bath time feel like part of the adventure.

And the best part? Each suite opens up to a private balcony with views of the lush surroundings or the ocean. It’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind after a day full of excitement.

Dining Experiences the Whole Family Will Love

One of the biggest challenges of traveling with kids is finding food that everyone will actually eat. At Nickelodeon Resort Riviera Maya, that’s not a problem. The resort offers a range of dining options that cater to all tastes, from casual snack bars to sit-down restaurants with themed menus.

There’s a buffet-style restaurant that serves everything from tacos and burgers to fresh fruit and grilled veggies. If you're in the mood for something a little fancier, there’s also a fine dining option for adults—complete with a kids' menu so the whole family can enjoy a meal together without any stress.

Don’t miss the themed dining experiences, either. You might find yourself eating in a room that looks like a cartoon jungle or a pirate ship. Some nights even feature character appearances, where kids can meet their favorite Nickelodeon stars while enjoying a delicious dinner.

Fun for Every Age: Activities & Entertainment

When you’re not splashing around in the water park or relaxing in your suite, there’s still plenty to do. The resort offers a full schedule of activities that change daily, so there’s always something new to try. Think face painting, crafts, dance parties, and even mini-Olympics on the beach.

For parents who need a little downtime, there’s a kids’ club where trained staff take care of the little ones while you enjoy a spa treatment or just chill by the infinity pool. And for those looking for something a bit more adventurous, the resort offers excursions to nearby attractions like cenotes, Mayan ruins, and snorkeling spots.

Evenings are just as exciting, with live shows, movie nights under the stars, and themed parties that keep the fun going well after sunset. It’s the kind of place where you’ll never hear the dreaded “I’m bored” from the kids—not even once.
