The property was super clean and staff was amazing and attentive. Food/Restaurant choices were limited in comparison to Hard Rock Punta Cana. Distance from room to lobby requires shuttle bus daily. Restaurant hours kind of crappy. Example roof top cafe is only open for 4hrs. Some places only open for dinner others for lunch although food was plentiful and descent we expected it to at least be at the same level as Hard Rock and it fell short. One other thing to be mindful of and not sure if anyone else experienced this the timeshare pushiness was a little over the top. Even though we said no and we would not waste 2+ hrs of our vacation time listening to something we don’t want they kept at it. Until I said fine you get 15 min of my time since our little one is autistic and adhd. They finally backed off. However they do try to lure you by saying oh you’re here for a week you get a special gift because you’re VIP etc all a scam to get you in on the presentation. Other than that would we go again absolutely resort was spotless, and the kids had a blast. The evening shows were great and better than most resorts.

My daughter had an accident at the park’s pool. Staff more interested in us signing a liability waiver than helping her. Transportation to the airport which was included was extremely inconvenient and they offered no alternatives. We had to pay for an uber. The sargazo made it impossible to dive in the ocean and smelled terrible.

My stay at Nickelodeon Resorts (2 adults and 2 children) was excellent. The prices for the paid activities are a bit over the top, but nonetheless the stay was enjoyable. Meeting the various characters was a positively memorable experience for us and the children. The water park was also wonderful, but it was the highlight to us and there are only so many days you can visit the same water park. As such, we may not stay as long as we did on this occasion in the future. The only downsides I can recall were: 1) Our bedroom a/c leaked for the whole trip so we just left it off as it was pooling water on the floor. 2) Despite being a Platinum Expedia member and asking for my perk associated with the status at this VIP resort (as mentioned by Expedia in their communication to me) we were not afforded any upgrades or otherwise. The receptionist ignored my request on 2 occasions and on the third occasion she attempted to make it seem as though the concierge desk that everyone is afforded access to was the perk. Essentially, booking accommodation at this “VIP resort” and generating the Platinum status afforded no benefits, which is very very disappointing and the approach with which it was handled left much more to be desired. Despite these downsides, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the resort and will visit again, just for shorter periods.

The hotel is a really good opción to enjoy a family vacation, in my opinion they still need some extras, for example a pool that everyone one can enjoyed they just have a mini pool for the rooms and for the first floor we have one pool per building that is maximum 3 ft deep, but overall is really nice hotel and my family enjoyed
