Lifeguards watched us constantly as we played along the shoreline. My son and I did hop in the water for a bit to body surf the waves before borrowing some sand toys from the beach hut in order to build a sandcastle. There was always a red flag warning of dangerous conditions waving in the wind. So, the kayaks and snorkel gear stacked in the beach hut beside the ocean remained unused during our stay. Unfortunately, our vacation coincided with the approach of Hurricane Matthew towards the island of Hispaniola. All together this kid-friendly complex makes this one of the best Punta Cana all-inclusive family resorts. The Sports Hub looks like the place to be for tweens and teens it has a soccer field, tennis courts, archery range, giant chess board, and a multi-purpose court. There is also a schedule of events for Aqua Nick including dancing characters, character meet-and-greet, an afternoon sliming from the large bucket atop the waterpark, and private sliming (available for an extra fee.) My six-year-old son spent 30 minutes playing on the slides followed by 30 minutes pushing me around the lazy river on and off for an entire afternoon. There is also a restaurant serving burgers and flatbreads. Craft, cooking, and science activities are scheduled throughout the day.Īqua Nick is a small waterpark area with a lazy river, character meet-and-greet area, a few small slides, three larger tube slides, and various spray features.

Just Kiddin is an indoor kids club where children ages 4-12 can be dropped off to play younger children can use the area with adult supervision. Occasionally, we hopped on a speedy golf cart to take us to or from the entertainment complex.Īqua Nick and Just Kiddin are both located at Nick Place. However, considering my diet of yummy desserts and multi-course meals at the resort, I found the ten minute walk from our room, located right along the beach at one end of resort, to Nick Place at the opposite end of the resort to be rather refreshing. It is a bit of a walk to access these areas. While virtually the entire Nickelodeon Resort and Hotel is family friendly, Nick Place and the Sports Hub are the two areas at the resort dedicated to kid-friendly fun.

The flavors in my chicken, shrimp and noodle curry entrée at Wok Wok were amazing. My son enjoyed eating ham and cheese followed by ice cream by the pool. I loved the fresh passion fruit for breakfast at Sugarcane and all the passion fruit desserts. Not once did my picky eater leave hungry.
