The hotel it self is beautif its very EXPENSIVE. They upcharge for simple things lobster and cabanas and kids face painting. all inclusive should be all things paid for the amount of money people are spending i shouldnt be paying 11$ for a bag of chips for the kids. The gift shop is ridiculous i couldnt even bring home anything really 80$ for a plush spongebob tiny at that is crazy. FOOD especially room service was a miss i would reccomend to enjoy at least once but would I go back PROBALLY NOT!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel room included 2 bathrooms. 1 was locked the entire first night. The pool was not heated. They charge a room fee for late check out. Staff knocked on our door at 10:20am and asked if we’d be checking out. Check out is at 11:00am.
The hotel's amenities and staff were nice, but the lack of a beach was a major letdown. If you are looking for a beach vacation, you might want to consider other options.
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.
Place is beautiful and lots of fun for kids. Room was beautiful. Food and drinks were ok. My issue was the lack of information shared with me about the hotel amenities and days events. We got there early and waited until 4:30. They never called me to inform me the room was ready. They also didn’t explain the check out procedure. I didn’t know about the QR code for events and missed many events on day one. Just wish a detailed email with information about the resort would have been shared before we arrived.
