Karisma Hotels & Resorts’ two Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts in Riviera Maya and Punta Cana are offering the most characters for kids to interact with in the Caribbean, with all-new seasonal programming and characters. 

With the new character additions, the two Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts offer the most characters in the Caribbean, with a total of 29 cartoon favorites. They do meet-and-greet, a Pajama Jam Character Breakfast and much more for children to enjoy. 

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will add several new characters to its resort in late March, including Tommy and Chuckie from Rugrats, and a new PAW Patrol character, Rubble. The resort offers the most PAW Patrol characters anywhere. 

At the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, travelers will enjoy the launch of the Snick Lounge, a 90s-inspired lounge, and The Sweetery, made for coffee and ice cream lovers alike. The two new offerings are part of a larger renovation of the resort. 

“Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts continues to redefine the family vacation experience, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury and character-based fun,” says Frank Maduro, President of Premier Worldwide Marketing, the global sales and marketing representative for Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “With the most characters in the Caribbean, these resorts provide a unique opportunity for families to create lasting memories in an environment tailored for all ages.”

Both resorts will also be offering a selection of seasonal programs featuring characters. From March 1 through April 30, guests of either resort will enjoy the Slime Break Getaway, which includes themed events, exclusive food, pop-up activities at Club Nick and Slime. Easter-themed offerings will also be available. 

Summer travelers heading to either resort from May 24 through September 3 can enjoy the Summer of SpongeBob, immersing themselves in Bikini Bottom with scavenger hunts, themed events, performances, SpongeBob screenings and much more. 

As the big kids head back to school, travelers with little ones can enjoy the Nick Jr. Friends Event from September 4 through November 2. Characters from Nick Jr, PAW Patrol, Blue’s Clues & You!, Dora the Explorer, Shimmer and Shine and Santiago of the Seas offer plenty of fun for little travelers. 

The second annual Food & Slime Festival will be held from November 3 to November 30 this year. The food festival offers slime-inspired foods, characters, beach parties, themed nights, live concerts and more. 

Lastly, travelers heading to either resort for the winter holidays will enjoy the Nick Holiday Extravaganza, beginning December 1 and ending January 14. Seasonal offerings include holiday-themed dinners, events, fireworks, parties, Santa Claus visits and more.
