Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana

Nickelodeon Resort Punta Cana sits on the golden sands of Uvero Alto beach and carries a five-star rating. It runs on an all-inclusive basis, with all meals at any hour and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, premium drinks included, so the days stay simple once you arrive. The Karisma Gourmet Inclusive experience sets the tone, pairing gourmet dining with personalised service. The resort is planned for all ages, which means parents, children and grandparents can share one holiday without splitting up for the day.

The resort has 460 suites, ranging from modern guest rooms to swim-up suites. Pad Suites offer one king or two double beds plus a pull-out sofa bed, a dining room, a 48 inch smart TV and a marble bathroom with double sinks, a rain shower and a free-standing tub. The balcony adds a day bed and a sitting area. Flat Suites have a private master bedroom and a separate living room with a pull-out sofa bed. Swim-up versions of both put a terrace with a day bed beside direct pool access.

Daily programming keeps the resort moving, with themed activities aimed at the whole family. Character Central and Nickelodeon Place are part of the resort, where you can meet favourite Nickelodeon characters, and annual themed events add something extra to the calendar. Shows and live performances fill the entertainment programme, so there is plenty for children and adults to share before the day ends. The water park sits alongside all of this, and the pools offer a calmer alternative when the pace needs to slow.

There are four pools on site, and some suites open straight onto the water, so a swim can begin at your own terrace. One spa is on the property for time to yourself. Beyond the pools, Aqua Nick is the resort water park, a sprawling Nickelodeon themed attraction that has been newly expanded, with acres of slides and lazy rivers set among tropical gardens. Access is complimentary for the whole stay, so you can return as often as the day allows.

Eight restaurants and five bars share the resort. Dishes are made with farm-fresh ingredients, and the restaurants take their inspiration from global culinary capitals, which lets the whole family taste its way around the world. The Gourmet Village is the place to roam for drinks and varied bites. All meals are included at any hour, and 24-hour room service means a late snack can reach your suite instead of sending you out.

The resort lies on Uvero Alto beach in the Dominican Republic, where golden sands set the scene for the whole stay. Punta Cana airport is about 39.5 kilometres away, a journey of roughly 36 minutes by road, so you reach the resort without a long transfer. Annual themed events give the stay a natural focus through the year, and the pools, restaurants and water park described above keep the days easy to plan.
