Title: Overrated for the Price, but Still Good for Kids Honestly, I think Nickelodeon Resort in Cancun is a bit overrated. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, but the experience didn’t fully live up to the hype. The only major activity is the water park, which is fun, but there should be more variety in things to do. The best restaurant by far is the Ninja Turtles one, and the buffet at breakfast is decent, but the dining at the Yacht Club was definitely not up to par for a resort of this price. I understand it’s primarily a kids’ resort, and I don’t expect a lot of adult activities, but there should still be more options. Not all of the shows were great, and for what you’re paying, I think you could find a better dining experience and more activities elsewhere. The rooms were fine—not anything fancy, but clean and comfortable. The staff, however, were fantastic and very friendly, which was definitely a plus. In summary, while the resort is good for kids, the value doesn’t quite match up to the price. There are other places where you can have a better overall experience.

Poor hotel staff service. Excellent Facilities!

Hotel Staff lack of energy to go out their way to help. Team Nick Staff in charge of shows and Characters are amazing and talented which saved it our experience. Very good facilities but Hotel Staff should be excited about working for the guest and less interested in selling packages.

The main issue with this property is that they extort money from travelers the minute they arrive. Upon arrival when they confirmed that we booked through Expedia we were ushered to a "special check in area" where we were told that we would have to pay an extra $2,200 for our stay on top of the $5,541.70 we already paid in full through expedia upon initial booking. Friends travelling with us were asked to pay an extra $6000 for their three children staying with them on top of the already paid in full initial booking. There were multiple families arguing with the check in staff on a daily basis about the same thing. Expedia, Nickelodeon resorts and Karisma are all aware of this and have not done anything to remedy the situation. We were told that we could cancel the entire trip outright or pay. It was 6pm, we had tired and hungry kids, we travelling with three other families as we planned this trip a long time ago and we were in Mexico where we couldn't just go back home or find another nearby hotel, especially as we stayed over the new year holiday and many places were completely booked. The resort and expedia are aware that it would be nearly impossible to just move to another hotel which is why they continue this type of extortion. Our total with the added cost came out to $1495 per night for a mediocre resort with no special amenities. I definitely would not recommend staying here. Stay somewhere else and you can buy a day pass for the water park if the kids want.

Nicely lay out. What we didn't like is the food choices. The one week we spend the food was the same wherever we had breakfast/lunch/dinner. The same food that we had first day in different format. That was disappointing. The other thing we noticed (or suggestion that we have) there should be a notice in all buffet place "not to waste food". We saw so much food wasted which was very sad. I know this is individuals who should decide what to take but there is a bit of a responsibility with the hotels as well. In this world there are lots of people who is struggling for food and water.

This is supposedly a newer hotel but as soon as you arrive, you’re able to tell the quality of the place. A few dining options but the quality lacks, even at the non-buffet restaurants. Better off leaving the hotel & look for authentic Mexican food or restaurants that actually put love into their food, which we ended up doing. Staff were friendly & nice. We stayed in the main deck pool & disappointed to learn that it wasn’t heated. The water was cold. The water in the water park was warmer but I would have preferred to use the pool right outside my room, even paid extra to be on the main level pool but still ended up not using it due to it being cold.

The water park is amazing! Lots of fun for the whole family! Rooms are well appointed and swim up offers a great semi private pool (shared between 4 rooms in the upstairs floors). Food is decent but at times hit or miss, although decent variety and great kid options on both meals and mocktails. I found information on hotel details and what's happening a bit harder to find than expected.
