Karisma Hotels & Resorts announced it will open a second Nickelodeon Hotel in Mexico in 2019.

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts are designed to bring fun and entertainment to guests in a five-star way and its new Riviera Maya property looks to deliver on that promise in a big way.

The resort will feature one of the destination's largest water attractions and each suite will have sweeping ocean views.

"Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya is destined to become a new favorite vacation spot for guests of all ages," said Armando Chomat, chief marketing and sales officer at Karisma Hotels & Resorts.

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will offer 276 oceanfront, swim-up Pad Suites and Flat Suites. The resort will also have four Nickelodeon-themed signature Penthouses located on the top floor of two six-story buildings.

Penthouses will feature favorite Nickelodeon content and characters, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and SpongeBob SquarePants. Each will have infinity pool swim-up access and views of the ocean, as well.

"The resort represents our 10th property in the Riviera Maya; it's a significant and exciting milestone in our portfolio, and it is an honor to be doing it with a renowned partner like Viacom," Chomat added. "With Aqua Nick, top-notch gourmet cuisine and all oceanfront swim-up suites, this property will take vacationing to the next level."

At the center of the resort will be Aqua Nick, 500,000 square feet of family fun that has something for everyone, including a lazy river, waterslides, a splash park, an interactive water playground for toddlers and mini relaxation pools.

Nickelodeon Place is another entertainment space for all ages that provides areas for families to meet and mingle with favorite Nickelodeon characters such as Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Club Nick is located inside Nickelodeon Place and is a hangout just for kids. There's also Planet Orange for music, games and tropical fun and Mainstage, which is a theater space hosting a variety of entertainment experiences.

Other resort amenities include a fitness center and a spa with kids' treatments, individual suites, couple's suites, a bridal suite and outdoor treatment areas for al fresco pampering.

Six restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, including the seafront Yacht Club and authentic Mexican food at Espadin. Bikini Bottom will offer gourmet fast-casual food for a midday meal or snack. The property will also have four bars: The Bar, Bikini Bottom Bar and two swim-up bars.

Organic produce will be sourced directly from Karisma's 76,000-square-foot Greenhouse located next door at El Dorado Royale Riviera Maya, a Spa Resort by Karisma.

"We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with Karisma Hotels & Resorts and open this incredible resort along a stunning stretch of white sand beach, providing guests with an authentic vacation experience centered on five-star luxury, playfulness and the warm hospitality that makes Mexico such a beloved destination" said Gerald Raines, senior vice president, location-based experiences for Viacom International Media Networks. "With Viacom Global Insights reporting that 70 percent of kids find family time one of the most important sources of happiness, we're excited to offer a fun destination that gives them a world-class family experience they won't ever forget."
