Reviews
- Joel at the buffet grill went out of his way to make sure I had an enjoyable and delicious meal.
- Ramona, our server at Aqua Nick, was always attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
- Zeleika (hope I’m spelling that right!), the main pool server, kept the drinks flowing nonstop — always with a smile.
- Rosanna at the sweetery made sure we never ran out of treats and kept our sugar levels happily topped up.
Lastly, a very special thank you to the person who made my stay the most memorable — Francisco, the chef at Fresco. I ran into him daily during my morning walks, always smiling as early as 7:30 a.m. while making sure everything was perfectly prepped for the lunch rush. The shrimp ceviche is an absolute must-try, and he made sure my family and I were always well taken care of.
This resort truly shines because of its people. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience!
I have to mention how hard things were to discover. The bigger waterslides are basically hidden behind nothing points there. same for the shows. Took us a few days missing events to figure how things work here.
They have a swimming pool with an ocean view, which is incredible. There is one park with a lazy river and children's waterslides, and another park that features a kids' swimming pool and adult slides. We had a lot of fun there.
The restaurants were also great. Buffet was the only place I didn't love for dinner, but it was good for breakfast. Lunch was almost always the water park eatery that was consistently good, if a more basic menu.
Happy with the choice we made to visit and could see us returning.
- Aqua Nick Water Area – Enjoyable and well-maintained. Good size and shallow, perfect for kids.
- Character Breakfast – A fun experience (though charged separately) with different characters
- Decent Dining Options– A reasonable number of restaurants.
- Staff Helpfulness – Exceptional service, especially from chefs who accommodated our dietary needs well.
- Resort Cleanliness – Maintained well in most areas.
- Room Quality & Amenities – rooms were spacious, balcony was nice. Provided bottle sterilizer and warmer.
Negatives
- Additional Charges – Fees for things like character breakfast (almost $90/pp) , cotton candies, in-house video games, etc., feel excessive considering the high all-inclusive price.
- Limited Vegetarian Options – not enough choices, although chefs will work with you on your dietary needs.
- Limited Fruits – Not enough variety, especially for a tropical destination.
- Closed Areas – Some resort sections were unavailable with no clear explanation or reopening timeline.
- Dessert Variety– Could benefit from more options, like chocolate bars.
- Some Night Show Performances – Certain dancers wore revealing outfits, which seemed out of place for a kids' place.
Overall Impression
The resort has enjoyable elements, particularly its water park and helpful staff. However, hidden costs, limited food options, and closed areas impact the experience. Overall resort experience does not strongly justify high prices.
The whole atmosphere was peaceful, calm, quiet, and each staff member seemed to work hard to make our experience pleasant.
Treat yourself by going to Vassa Spa. Ask for Emiledys. Thanks for an awesome stay Nickelodeon. We shall return!
