The room was amazing! Staff was amazing since the moment we enter the hotel! One of the staff name Santiago was amazing! He was always messaging if everything was good if we needed anything. My kids loved everything about it. I will be returning back :).
My kids really enjoyed every second of this vacations. The rooms were big and comfortable. The service was top notch. We enjoyed all the shows that were offered specially the one on Tuesday. The pijama breakfast was an amazing experience, but they did not offer as much as in the spatula restaurant. The food in good burger and the pizza place were amazing all the other restaurants were at hit or miss depending on the day. Overall, we enjoyed everything about this resort.

Rooms were amazing. Very clean and modern. The shows were great. Food was good. Water park safe and clean
The best experience for kids ever, highly recommend it, at the beginning you need to get to know the facility and the stuff are very helpful, food is the best , many many activities specially for kids, rooms and room services are above and beyond , very clean , very attractive and beautiful, pool water cleaner than ozarka water, I am traveler and have been in many places around the world, this one is from my top list for families with kids 1-15 , yes its expensive little bit but worth every penny and more.
All the staff at the resort were friendly and showed a lot of patients and respect. The room was cleaned everyday with care. The restaurants had great food and catered to our kids allergies.
We weren’t a fan of the concierge trying to sell us some exclusive membership under the guise of a free breakfast. Also, a basketball court or some outdoor sports would have been fun. We also found that a grab and go snack option at the residence building would be a helpful addition for the post-brunch/pre-dinner munchies that we often experienced.
But the waterpark and activities were fun, the room was comfortable, and the food was good.

Liked: Cleanliness
I loved this property it is modern, clean, and the food/drinks were excellent
We stayed at Nickelodeon Resort as a party of five (two adults, kids 4, 5 and 9) and left with mixed feelings: the entertainment team at the waterpark and theatre was outstanding and the kids loved the character meet-and-greets, and our room was comfortable with a well-stocked fridge and a balcony pool, but many other aspects fell short for the price. Dining was mediocre and service inconsistent—we repeatedly waited to be seated (even at the buffet) and often had to flag down servers—while the hotel is about 2 miles from the main lobby/park and shuttle waits with young children were inconvenient (management did provide a go-cart for the rest of our stay after we complained). Other negatives: character dining is an expensive add-on, the café has very limited morning hours, and there’s little for older kids beyond the waterpark. Overall, fun entertainment but logistical and service issues mean we won’t be returning.
The facilities are beautiful and enjoyable and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Sadly we were not able to enjoy our stay due to getting sick after consuming the food from the buffet in the resort
It was our 4th visit to Nickelodeon Riviera Maya. Our kids now 3 and 7 love it. This time we brought another family (friends) and they also enjoyed their stay with their kids.
Park is awesome, rooms are very nice and comfortable, staff is very helpful and the general ambiance is perfect for families with children.
Of course everything that is not included is overpriced but we just accept it.
I recommend Nickelodeon Riviera Maya to anyone with kids and who can afford it. It’s unique and magical if you are a fan.
We went January 2026.
I know the resort is more expensive than the average so I’ll give you pros and cons from us (family of 4, with 2 kids 6 and 8).
Pros: Cleanest resort we have been to by far.
Service was excellent. It was also VERY quiet when we went though so didn't have to fight over chairs etc. (not sure if you even have to here?)
Lots of entertainment options for littles, waterpark is super fun!
Downsides (IMO) - The water park (aqua nick), main lobby building and hotel are all separate. So you have to shuttle to everything. (Like... through a forest. Not walkable with little ones) We understand why (people there can go to the water park for the day and other resorts come for the day, so for safety they keep hotel separate). However, we did wish at least the main building was close because we skipped night events sometimes because we didn't feel like waiting in line for a shuttle to get there. Nothing happens at the hotel building. There are still wonderful restaurants etc in hotel building but otherwise... it was kinda boring there. (again... for us. We like night parties etc)
Also It’s NOT a beach resort if you like beaches. They do their best with up-keep but it is a small beach area.
