Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana Joins RCI, Offering Family Vacations with A Bit of Character

At the resort, RCI^® subscribing members will be transported to the land of Nickelodeon filled with characters, themed adventures and plenty of chances to get 'slimed.' The heart of the resort is the Nickelodeon Village, where vacationers can explore the Aqua Nick™ Playground to experience water slides, splash pads, spray grounds and a lazy river. The kids can also meet their favorite Nickelodeon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora the Explorer at Character Central. Or, they can enjoy Just Kiddin', a kids club which is part clubhouse and part artists' studio, where they can play, participate in organized activities and meet the Nickelodeon characters.

"RCI has been a longstanding and valued partner for many years, and we are pleased to build upon our relationship with the new affiliation of Nickelodeon's first-ever international resort property, providing both family entertainment and Karisma's renowned Gourmet Inclusive^® Experience," said Rinaldo Fernandez, senior vice president of Karisma's Travel Club Division. "We are particularly excited about the business opportunities this brings to our Travel Club, and we are pleased to expand our partnership with RCI and continue to offer our members the excellence in service they are used to."

At Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, RCI members can experience a family vacation without sacrificing luxury and relaxation. The white sand beaches, tropical beverages and Karisma's Gourmet Inclusive Experience help ensure that the 'grown-ups' have the vacation they want, too. The Gourmet Inclusive Experience offers cutting-edge cuisine, impeccable service and unique amenities, proving that 'slime' and 'luxury' can coexist and create unforgettable getaways for everyone.

The beachfront resort features 208 suites designed to bring a variety of travel experiences, each with modern design and amenities that create a home-away-from-home for the entire family. Of course, the theme continues throughout the accommodations: one of the super villas is even called the 'Pineapple' and is modeled after the world of SpongeBob SquarePants.

"By affiliating Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, RCI will offer members a unique vacation experience for the entire family at one of the most recognized branded hotels in the world," said Ricardo Montaudon, president of RCI Latin America. "This affiliation strengthens the relationship we have with Karisma Resorts, a company of professionals that offers the highest quality and best services and experiences to members. The fun property can offer a truly experiential vacation and can give children and adults alike memories to last a lifetime."
