Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana

Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana is designed around children, with the characters, colors and slime that kids know from television woven into the resort experience. It sits on the quieter Uvero Alto stretch of the coast, north of Bávaro, with a wide beach and a large property. The centerpiece is the water park, a slide-filled playground that includes areas for toddlers and older children, and the resort has multiple pools, character meet-and-greets, craft sessions and evening shows. Parents are looked after with a gourmet all-inclusive plan, a range of restaurants, bars and lounges, and a spa. Family suites are spacious and many offer separate sleeping areas for children. The staff are trained in managing families, and the entertainment team keeps children occupied from morning until bedtime. The resort is a short drive from attractions such as the Scape Park and the Hoyo Azul cenote, and from the beaches of Macao and Uvero Alto, though most families stay on property for much of the stay. It is the most obviously family-focused resort on this list, so it suits younger children best, while teenagers and couples without children may prefer a different style. The all-inclusive format makes the cost predictable, and the number of activities means that even rainy days are well covered. For families who want the children to be entertained so the adults can relax, it is hard to beat.
