I carefully read the reviews before booking this hotel and noticed some comments mentioning that many services might come with additional charges. However, experiencing it in person was far more disappointing than expected. On our checkout day, we were given an iPad and asked to complete a detailed review covering everything from staff and food to the rooms and facilities. It took approximately 15 minutes to complete. After returning the device, we were informed that if we wished to continue using the pool or playground facilities, we would need to purchase a day pass. Checkout is at 11:00 AM, and our flight is at 4:00 PM. We only planned to remain at the hotel until 1:30 PM. Being required to pay an additional fee for just two extra hours felt unreasonable. Even more surprising was being told that lunch would need to be paid for separately if we chose to eat on the property during that time. I travel frequently — four trips just within this and last month — and none of the other hotels I stayed at operated this way. Charging guests for nearly every additional service, especially on the final day of their stay, creates a very uncomfortable experience. Additionally, the nightly entertainment program lasts only 45 minutes. One evening is designated for adults and another for children. In comparison, many other family-oriented resorts offer one hour of children’s entertainment followed by one hour for families together. For me, it very important that everyone in the family….

Food- for all inclusive overall good- à la carte restaurants were my favorite. Buffet not so much. Delicious crape and taco station. Would love if they had some hibachi or 24h options. Past 10pm there is no where to eat unless room service

They were stains on bedding they had to change that.We had to leave early because of the weather and flights where we are from.They had issues with us checking out early tried to explain abou TV the weather in flight problems.Also they did not want to call transportation to take us to the airport.It took minute to convince them of that.All can say I will never go back there.

My kids really enjoyed every second of this vacations. The rooms were big and comfortable. The service was top notch. We enjoyed all the shows that were offered specially the one on Tuesday. The pijama breakfast was an amazing experience, but they did not offer as much as in the spatula restaurant. The food in good burger and the pizza place were amazing all the other restaurants were at hit or miss depending on the day. Overall, we enjoyed everything about this resort.

We went January 2026. I know the resort is more expensive than the average so I’ll give you pros and cons from us (family of 4, with 2 kids 6 and 8). Pros: Cleanest resort we have been to by far. Service was excellent. It was also VERY quiet when we went though so didn't have to fight over chairs etc. (not sure if you even have to here?) Lots of entertainment options for littles, waterpark is super fun! Downsides (IMO) - The water park (aqua nick), main lobby building and hotel are all separate. So you have to shuttle to everything. (Like... through a forest. Not walkable with little ones) We understand why (people there can go to the water park for the day and other resorts come for the day, so for safety they keep hotel separate). However, we did wish at least the main building was close because we skipped night events sometimes because we didn't feel like waiting in line for a shuttle to get there. Nothing happens at the hotel building. There are still wonderful restaurants etc in hotel building but otherwise... it was kinda boring there. (again... for us. We like night parties etc) Also It’s NOT a beach resort if you like beaches. They do their best with up-keep but it is a small beach area.

We weren’t a fan of the concierge trying to sell us some exclusive membership under the guise of a free breakfast. Also, a basketball court or some outdoor sports would have been fun. We also found that a grab and go snack option at the residence building would be a helpful addition for the post-brunch/pre-dinner munchies that we often experienced. But the waterpark and activities were fun, the room was comfortable, and the food was good.

We stayed at the Nickelodeon Riviera Maya for a week on a family trip with children and a baby, and it was a very disappointing experience. In our opinion, this hotel is seriously overrated and does not come close to a true 5-star standard. Considering the many genuine luxury 5-star resorts available in Cancun and the Riviera Maya at better prices, this hotel is extremely overpriced. Overall quality feels closer to a 3-star hotel. The hotel does not really have a usable beach. The small stretch of beach is very limited, the ocean is full of rocks and debris, and the waves are strong. There are not enough lounge chairs, and there is no staff providing service on the beach. Food quality is very poor. We ended up leaving the resort to have dinner almost every day at restaurants in Cancun, which added extra cost and travel time, simply because eating at the hotel consistently was not an option. The rooms are fine, but service throughout the hotel is slow and inefficient, which is unacceptable for a property marketed as luxury. Shuttle transportation between the lobby, rooms, and Aqua Nick water park is extremely slow. Aqua Nick water park is well themed with Nickelodeon characters, has good slides and pools, and is enjoyable. In hindsight, we should have stayed at another hotel and visited Aqua Nick for only one or two days. While the water park is worth visiting, the Nickelodeon Riviera Maya is not recommended as a hotel. It is absolutely not worth the price.
