For kids and kids at heart, Nickelodeon Hotel & Resorts Punta Cana puts a zany spin on the classic all-inclusive Punta Cana beach vacation. From the onsite Aqua Nick waterpark, home to water slides, a lazy river and a slime zone, to Nickelodeon-themed events featuring characters, including Sponge Bob SquarePants, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Paw Patrol, entertainment is at every twist and turn. You can even check into a two-bedroom, three-bath Pineapple accommodation inspired by Sponge Bob’s famed “pineapple under the sea” that sleeps six featuring a private patio and garden with an infinity pool. There’s also a wide variety of suites, including some with swim-up pool access. They’re all tricked out with Nickelodeon orange accents and playful details. With over a dozen onsite restaurants and bars, meals also take on whacky Nickelodeon themes, from Pajama Jam breakfasts featuring Sponge Bob characters to special Turtle Power dinners. For grown-ups, there’s also multiple oceanfront swim-up bars and sophisticated dining options, including Verdello for Italian or the Explorer’s Table for world cuisine. From a Club Nick playhouse for the little ones to white parties thrown on the beach, there’s truly something for everyone here.
