The new property – featuring 288 spacious swim-up and infinity suites, each with its own pool on a private terrace or balcony – will be located on a secluded white-sand beach facing Mexico’s stunning Caribbean Sea. Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will reimagine the art of hospitality to deliver delightful twists including surprise Slimings and unexpected visits from your favorite Nickelodeon characters. Combined with world-class dining, contemporary design, innovative amenities and access to neighboring Karisma Hotels & Resorts properties, Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will offer an unforgettable getaway for Nickelodeon fans and luxe resort lovers alike.
“We have been thrilled with the overwhelming response to Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts’ combination of luxury and playfulness, and are excited to announce a second international property for guests looking to enjoy an unforgettable upscale vacation,” said Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Recreation for Viacom International Media Networks.
Armando Chomat, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Karisma Hotels & Resorts, commented, “Karisma Hotels & Resorts has a rich history in the Riviera Maya and we are eager to invite guests of all ages to experience the beauty of the destination anew along with the adventures and surprise elements uniquely afforded by Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts.”
Casual luxury is the focal point of the property’s grand lobby, restaurants, bars, spa and two main six-story buildings – all set between lush indigenous mangroves, palm trees, and a white-sand beach. The first floors of both main buildings will be comprised of swim-up suites that boast direct access to swimming pools and swim-up bars, while floors two through six will host the infinity pool suites with unobstructed ocean views.
Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya’s accommodations will be as stylish as they are spacious with one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, each featuring shared living spaces and private pools. Twenty four hour room service, and amenities like complimentary baby food, strollers, and cribs will ensure vacations are luxurious and carefree.
As a part of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts, the Riviera Maya property will provide entertainment for all guests within Nickelodeon Place™. The heart of the resort, Nickelodeon Place will include Just Kiddin’, a hangout for kids; Character Central where guests can meet Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and more: water features; and a kid’s spa. Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will also feature Studio Nick, a theater for hosting an array of immersive entertainment experiences.
Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will deliver the award-winning Gourmet Inclusive® Experience, ideal for guests who value quality. Dining will be an art and a pleasure at six Gourmet Inclusive® restaurants including two oceanfront eateries, four bars and lounges, and a one-of-a-kind food truck experience that will present a half-dozen fun and casual culinary options to be enjoyed while seated or as a part of an outdoor picnic. The property will also feature an array of innovative food and beverage options at themed restaurants that reflect the brand with unexpected colors, imaginative food samples, and Slime Smoothies. A majority of the resort’s organic produce will be sourced from Karisma’s 75,000-square-foot Greenhouse located next door.
Additionally, Nickelodeon Spa-ahh will beckon with relaxation. Guests will have the opportunity to experience signature treatments within individual suites, couple’s suite, a luxurious bridal suite, or “al fresco” outdoor treatment areas for those craving a little sand with their spa.
For guests celebrating a special occasion, Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will offer fully themed party options inclusive of character meet & greets, game play, specialty food & beverage and more.
