Playa Paraíso Iberostar Resort | Riviera Maya

Gabby Cullen

When it comes to taking a vacation with kids, built-in entertainment is like hitting the parenting lottery. Your kids can play all day long, make new friends, and best of all, you get some chill time (no kids, what?!). Iberostar totally gets that and that's why their Star Camp is one of our favorite kids club programs with a full day of activities to enjoy. 

Playa Paraíso Iberostar knows that all you really want is to spend your day in the water so they have a lazy river, a wave pool, a splash zone for kids, and five pools to enjoy. There's also a beautiful stretch of beach with warm, clear water, very little seaweed, and the perfect “concrete sand” for building castles. Grab a seat under a cabana, treat yourself to a soft-serve ice cream or adult beverage, play volleyball, listen to music, and relax.

We had a chance to explore the resort, so keep scrolling to get the details.

The Hotel

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya

With its white modern design and iconic Nickelodeon accents, it’s hard to miss this 280-room resort hotel. From the main lobby, you'll take a short shuttle ride down to the oceanfront, and once you’ve been shown to your suite, you’ll have time to enjoy the swim-up pools (every room has one), the patio that offers stunning views of the Mexican Caribbean Sea, and the easy access to the restaurants on the lower level of the property. Nickelodeon-inspired colors and Nick characters adorn the walls and pillows, and there are two bathrooms, which is ideal for families. The hotel also provides items that’ll make traveling with kids easier: strollers, cribs, changing tables, monitors, bottle warmers and even kid-sized bathrobes.

There are three signature rooftop suites. Each one has an oceanfront terrace, private butler service, separate bathrooms with full bathrooms and full dining and living rooms. When you book one of the themed suites, you’ll get several extra perks—two massages, a private character meets & greet, a character dining experience at Nickelodeon Place and more. The crown jewel is Pineapple Suite because, in addition to all these amenities, there’s an interactive pineapple on the terrace, complete with a magic conch shell! 

Aqua Nick at Nick Place

Gabby Cullen

Located at Nickelodeon Place, this sprawling six-acre waterpark not only has six thrilling water slides in the Soak Summit main tower but four more slides in Paw Patrol Adventure Bay that are perfect for pint-size visitors. It’s hard not to want to explore the activity pool, which has a wave pool, a climbing wall and a water activity ropes course. Aqua Nick also has two lazy rivers—one is a classic float, and the other is fast-paced with plenty of waves.

Snag a bite at Nick Bistro if you feel like hitting the buffet. You'll find an ample selection of food from freshly-made tacos to salad and kid-friendly offerings like pasta and chicken nuggets. Be sure to visit the soft ice cream station before heading back into the waterpark. There are also several Aqua Bite food stations in the park serving up pizzas, hamburgers, hot dogs and poke bowls.

The Entertainment

From the Meet & Greets to Team Nick performances, there’s never a dull moment at the resort! Getting a picture opp with your kids' fave Nick character is as easy as checking the daily schedule on the Karisma Hotel app. The Snick Lounge, located in the main Lobby, has exciting entertainment every night in addition to arcade games, TVs playing Nick shows and a pool table. The shows range from magic shows and glow parties to live music and other family-friendly fun. 

The Character Pajama Jam is especially fun. You’ll get incredible meal options like waffles, parfaits, avocado and smoked salmon toast, smoothies, hash browns, bacon and fresh fruit. Team Nick is on hand with singing and dancing and they’ll bring iconic faces like Dora, Boots, Spong Bob, Shimmer and Shine and many more. Kids get a goodie bag with items they can use to participate in the entertainment. 

Kids can also take a cooking class from one of the head chefs. The Yacht Club holds sessions twice a week, and kids can learn to make everything from smoothies to waffles.

The Kids’ Club at Nick Place isn’t open yet, but guests have access to the club at the resort’s sister property next door until it is. You'll also find the Nickelodeon Shop at Nick Place, so be sure to take time to browse through the impressive selection of Nickelodeon souvenirs.

The Restaurants 

Gabby Cullen

Bikini Bottom & Gourmet Corner is the first dining establishment you’ll encounter when you head to the ground floor of the hotel. This casual beach-inspired spot has a variety of menu items like shrimp cocktail, tuna poke, ham croquettes and spaghetti for the kids—there’s something for everyone. There’s also a Grab & Go breakfast if you don’t have time to hit the Yacht Club before heading to Aqua Nick! The Yacht Club is open for breakfast and offers made-to-order omelets, sweet and savory waffles, a large selection of fruit, a cheese board, bacon, sausage, yogurt, fresh juices, smoothies and an assortment of bread. Inspired by the original Nick comedy sketch, Good Burger is open for lunch and dinner. The onions rings might be the best you’ve ever had, the burgers are made with high-quality ingredients, and right in the middle of the restaurant lies the ice cream truck that serves up awesome ice cream sundaes. 

In the main lobby, you'll find Leo, Raf, Donny and Mikey hanging out and waiting for a slice at Piazza. If you’re lucky, they’ll even have dinner with you! The wood-fired pizza is excellent; the crust is light, and the cheese and sauce are cooked to perfection. Kids can watch the pizza via the see-through ovens; you’ll often be entertained by live singers, and be sure to try the dessert pizza! Le Spatula is a buffet-style restaurant offering tons of authentic Mexican food as well as family-friendly offerings.

The Best Family Travel Blogs to Bookmark Now

One of the best ways to break up the long months of wintertime is to take the kids on vacation. Whether you prefer skiing and snowshoeing trips to embrace the snow or you want to bury your toes in the heated sand on a beach, we’ve got you covered. Here are some family-friendly travel suggestions that are ideal for securing quality time with your favorite people over winter break.

See the Splendor of a National Park in Utah

skeeze via Pixabay

Play: National Parks are definitely America’s best idea and exploring the great outdoors is such a healthy and fun activity for families. Utah’s first and most popular national park, Zion National Park, is a great destination for the winter months. Seeing the multi-hued sandstone cliffs, slot canyons and wildlife (bighorn sheep, mule deer, bats and a mammal called the petite kangaroo rat) are what draw visitors to this park all year long. Due to relatively mild seasonal weather, travelers can go on super scenic drives, hiking and cross country skiing. Take the kids on a ranger-led winter hike or participate in the Junior Ranger program to earn a badge. The best part: the crowds have thinned out, and you’ll feel like you have the park all to yourselves like nature intended.

Other activities nearby, outside of the park, include St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site, Washington City Aquatic Center, and ghost towns in Grafton, Silver Reef, and Old Irontown.

See Why Kids Love Aruba

Play: Aruba, known as One Happy Island, is the ideal warm-weather destination for families in the southern Caribbean Sea. Not only are there excellent beaches, like Palm Beach and Baby Beach, but also the island is chock-full of kid-friendly adventures worth exploring. For animal lovers, visit the island’s Ostrich Farm, Butterfly Farm, Donkey Sanctuary, and Philips Animal Garden. For adventure seekers, take an off-road safari or UTV tour with De Palm Tours and see the California Lighthouse and Arikok National Park. Snorkel cruises are another way to get on the water and enjoy the super-charged sunshine that the island offers.

Stay: To make planning easier, stay at the all-inclusive Barceló Aruba and spring for the Royal Level, which includes perks like personalized check-in, exclusive dining, complimentary Wi-Fi, accommodations on higher-level floors and room service. 

All-Inclusive Ski Vacation in Quebec

Play & Stay: If a ski vacation is on your must-do list, you'll want to check out this brand-new Club Med resort that will make schlepping all that ski gear that much easier. A vacation at Club Med Québec provides guests with all the luxuries of an all-inclusive vacation while also allowing travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in Canadian culture. Guests can enjoy activities like ice skating, dog sledding, and sugar shack visits.

The spacious accommodations echo the character of the region with the colors of Québec (winter white, twilight blue, and yellow sun) emulated through decor and other rooms feature elements like blond wooden floors and lofty ceilings akin to the warmth of the region’s ancestral homes. The resort also features three on-site restaurants that serve locally inspired cuisine like fondue and raclette, local Québec cheeses and charcuteries, freshly baked cookies, and Québec’s famous maple taffy and are decorated to celebrate different gastronomical elements tied to Québec: hunting, fishing, agriculture, foraging, and livestock farming. 

Channel Elvis in Hawaii

Play & Stay: Leave your passport at home and fly to the Hawaiian Islands. The islands of Lanai and Maui are full of adventures that are perfect for families. The Four Seasons Resort Lanai can arrange cultural experiences for families like hula dance lessons, ukulele instruction, floral leis making, and even an oral history lesson given by Lanai’s elders. Take a guided island tour in a UTV, go sailing on a catamaran, stroll through the botanic gardens, and lounge by the lagoon-style swimming pool at the resort. Enjoy a sunrise hike to Puu Pehe, or Sweetheart Rock, go horseback riding, or snorkel in the warm water—the options are endless.

In Maui, the Valley Isle, try your hand at outrigger canoeing, visit the Ali’i Kula Lavender Garden, see sharks at the Maui Ocean Center, and go snorkeling to see a wide variety of colorful sea wildlife. Older kids, ages 12 and older, might like to try tandem paragliding with Proflyght. During the winter months, you can see migrating humpback whales and nothing beats seeing the sunrise at Haleakala National Park, where you can see a massive volcano.

Winter in New York City

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Play: Visiting New York City in the winter is an enchanting experience for families—the city is still alive and electric in the chillier months. Create enduring memories for your family by ice skating at Rockefeller Center and seeing the larger-than-life Christmas tree, watch the ball drop in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, or visit one of the many incredible museums—Museum of Modern Art, American Museum of Natural History, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex, Guggenheim Museum, and of course, the Statue of Liberty. For something really special, take a behind-the-scenes tour of Yankee Stadium, visit the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular (you can also do a backstage tour of the music hall) or see The Nutcracker at The New York City Ballet.

Stay: The city is full of great overnight possibilities. The Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel has a fantastic midtown location, a fitness center, a complimentary crib if needed and extra space in their Parlor Room with a built-in Murphy Bed, plus kids 12 & under eat free. Other family-friendly hotels include Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel, which is pet friendly and has a cool Terrace Suite with panoramic views of the city and New York Marriott Marquis, with family connecting suites, restaurant options and concierge services.

Backpacking and Day Trips in America’s Southwest

Wendy Altschuler

Play: Finally, something for the older kids in your family—backpacking and day hiking in some of the most beautiful parts of America’s southwest. Imagine how proud your tween will feel when she hikes for multiple miles, from beginning to end, and learns about geology along the way. If you don’t want to worry about how to get from point A to point B, and you don’t want to pack gear or figure out food options, check out Four Season Guides—they lead groups and private hiking trips through Havasu Falls, Yosemite, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

See Grand Canyon National Park like you’ve never seen it before—dip below the rim and hike past layers and layers of various geological history to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and stay at the famous Phantom Ranch before heading back out of the canyon on the beautiful Bright Angel Trail. Everyone will love the physical challenge and remember the adventure for years to come. 

Pro Tip: Invest in a good pair of hiking boots—Vasque has quality trail footwear for kids—and break them in before your trip to prevent sore feet or blisters.

Home Sweet Chicago

Wendy Altschuler

Play: If you ask any Chicagoan what they love the most about their city, they’ll likely say they love the culture—museums, theater, restaurants—sports, lakefront and neighborhoods (Chicago has more than 100 neighborhoods). Take the kids ice skating at Maggie Daley Park’s ribbon. Visit the Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum (you’ll love the new Maximo Titanosaur), and the Museum of Science and Industry—all of the museums have a free or discounted admission day and nearly all have sleep-at-the-museum overnight opportunities. Travel 1,000 feet above the Magnificent Mile and check out 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck, home of the sky-high moving platform TILT, that gives you a kaleidoscopic view, high above the city. Take your family to a fun-for-winter show via Broadway in Chicago, Drury Lane, First Folio, Marriott Children’s Theatre, or The Chicago Theatre—check the websites to see what productions are running. 

Stay: Hotel EMC2 is a modern hotel with robots that deliver anything you’ve forgotten or need. Another cool option is the Intercontinental Chicago where you’ll find a stunning pool, Michael Jordan’s Steak House, and an onion dome that was meant (but not used) to dock blimps before the Hindenburg disaster.

Be Trendy in T-Town

Kate Loweth

Play: Toronto is a diverse and bustling metropolis that offers a plethora of indoor and outdoor adventures for culture seekers. It’s easy to see why this Canadian city is rising to the top of the list for best places to visit for multi-generational families. Explore gems like the Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum, Hockey Hall of Fame and Toronto Botanical Garden. Thrill seekers will be challenged walking around the top of CN Tower—on the outside—116 stories high. And, of course, with a lot of immigrants—half of the population was born outside of Canada—you’ll have plenty of dining options to choose from (not everything is covered in bacon and maple syrup either).

Stay: Is there anything better than a hotel with an indoor water slide? We don't think so. The Chelsea Hotel is the perfect spot for families visiting Toronto and their four-story water slide is just one of the reasons that you'll love it there. The hotel has two-bedroom suites that are perfect for visiting families, as they come with a full kitchen. In addition to the corkscrew water slide, the hotel has a kids club where you can drop off your little ones for some play time with the resident bunnies while you enjoy a meal out.

Go Greek in Tarpon Springs, FL

Play: Do you want to feel like you are in a different country, exposing your kids to a rich culture, without ever leaving the states? Check out Tarpon Springs, Florida, a small town with the highest population of Greek-Americans of any city in the U.S. Families will love seeing the sponge fisherman working on the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard. You can even take a cruise and watch a sponge diver, wearing a vintage suit, dive down and pull out a fresh gooey sponge. Enjoy the sweet sunshine and walk along the street full of shops, restaurants and museums full of Greek heritage. Opa!

Stay: Say goodnight on 900 wooded acres at Innisbrook, A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort. You’ll be minutes from the beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and a stone’s throw from Tampa International Airport. The resort has a relaxing atmosphere, with a spa, multiple restaurant options, and a large Loch Ness Monster Pool with slides. Kids can take golf or tennis lessons, go fishing, have fun in the kid’s club, and rent bikes to explore the area. 

Wisconsin Wonderland

Wendy Altschuler

Play: From snowmobiling to cross-country skiing to sledding to snowshoeing to dog sledding to ice fishing to fat bike winter riding—you won’t run out of outdoor things to do in Wisconsin during the winter months. Beginners will love learning how to downhill ski at Granite Peak, Christmas Mountain, Alpine Valley, Devil’s Head Resort, Cascade Mountain and Mt. Crosse, among other places. Visit the Wisconsin Dells, the waterpark capital of the world, for indoor slide and amusement park fun. For something truly special though, visit Door County in the winter months, when it’s quiet, peaceful and not flooded with tourists. Take a horse-drawn carriage, go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, and check out one of the many events happening throughout the 75-mile-long stretch between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. 

Stay: Book a cozy stay, in the middle of the forest, at Sunrise Shores Log Cabin in Sturgeon Bay, Door County. The cozy cabin, with a large front porch and side-screened porch, is within walking distance to a public beach, dogs are welcome, and your entire family will love the warm stone fireplace.

Explore Art in Houston

courtesy visit Houston.com

Play: Of course, the fourth largest city in America will be ripe with fantastic museums, dining and shopping, and Space Center Houston is an obvious standout, but there’s something else that Houston offers young visitors: art. Toward the end of November, families can go to Hue: Houston Urban Experience Mural Festival, part of Houston Art Week, to see artists from around the world use a variety of techniques and color to brighten up urban landscapes. Mural tours will be available during the event as well as throughout December. After seeing the street art, bring your family to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston where kids can take part in weekly family programming including Creation Station, Family Tours and Story Time.

Pro Tip: The Houston CityPASS allows families to visit several museums and attractions throughout the city, like the Houston Zoo, Children’s Museum, and Downtown Aquarium for a discounted rate. If you click on VisitHouston.com, you can also print off coupons for discounts at hotels, restaurants, transportation and more, all over the city. Also, on the website is a link for Houston for Free, which lists free family-friendly activities.

See our insider's guide to Houston here

Get Wild in Wyoming

Wendy Altschuler

Play: Wyoming is a huge state full of fun cowboy culture and mountain adventures. On one end, you have Cheyenne, Wyoming, the nation’s rodeo and railroad capital. Don your SmartWool sweaters and thick socks and visit Terry Bison Ranch to see over 2,000 bison grazing on 30,000 acres of rolling hills. Take the family on a downtown walking tour or hop on the Cheyenne Street Railway Trolley (Christmas Lights tours are available in December). Pop in the Cheyenne Depot and Depot Museum, and let the kids burn off energy in The Paul Smith Children’s Village (in the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens), which is home to Engine 1242, the oldest train engine in Wyoming. Admittance to the gardens is free and open year-round.

On the other end of the state, sits one of the most beautiful and evergreen cities in our country: Jackson Hole. This western town is near Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, which opens up a world of adventure for families. Outside of the park, families can have many fun experiences such as winter fat biking, hot air ballooning, horseback riding, snowshoeing and, of course, skiing.

Stay: Rest your head in Jackson Hole at Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa, located next to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, where your family can go skiing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, tubing or riding on a horse-pulled sleigh. The resort has great deals, like the National Parks Explorer package.

 

Get Your Play On with Nickelodeon in the Riveria Maya

Gabby Cullen

Imagine hanging with Dora, the Mutant Turtles and Sparkle and Shine, all while exploring a six-acre waterpark in the Riviera Maya!

Play: The waterpark has 21 slides, the entertainment in the Snick Lounge includes magic shows, glow parties, live music and more. Don't miss the daily 1:30 pm sliming at the water park, and be ready for amazing food, whether you dine with Raf, Mikey, Donny and Leo at Piazza Tavola or enjoy ocean views at the Bikini Bottom or the Yacht Club. 

Stay: The Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya has six different restaurants and every hotel room boasts its own private pool. It's a short shuttle ride from the seaside hotel to the main lobby and waterpark, which is where you'll be able to enjoy Aqua Nick and the main entertainment.

San Alfonso del Mar Resort - Algarrobo, Chile

Ever wonder where the biggest pool in the world is? For about a decade, you would have found the answer in the Southern Hemisphere along the central coast of Chile. While the Chilean-based company behind the project broke its own record in 2015 with the CityStars pool in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, San Alfonso del Mar is still huge at 20 acres and maybe a little easier to get to (it’s about 60 miles west of Chile’s capital city, Santiago). Save the laps for those traditional pools, though you’re more than welcome to swim some 3,300 feet across San Alfonso del Mar. You can also row a boat (there are docks right in the pool), walk the footbridge out to a bathing deck and take in the Pacific Ocean views right across the sand.

Delano Beach Club - Miami, FL

sbe

Miami was made for pool hopping. There’s the largest in the continental U.S. over at the Biltmore Hotel. There’s the art deco dream Esther Williams once dove into over at the Raleigh Hotel. But it’s at the Delano, where an “Alice in Wonderland” theme adds major whimsy with an inspired garden path and floating tea table for two. (The pool was designed by none other than Philippe Starck.) A zero-entry section is also nice for shorter splashers, as is the sea breeze that passes through a perimeter of sky-scraping palm trees. While day passes aren’t available to non-guests, a cabana reservation grants you daytime access.

In Iceland, the pools are anything but. The country is in fact known for its outdoor hot pools, and Blue Lagoon also happens to be one of the 25 wonders of the world.

Pre-booked tickets are required, and the setting may appeal to older and water-safe kiddos. You can stay on site or visit for the day. You won’t find waterslides or kiddie pools here, but you will find a waterfall, waters rich in therapeutic minerals, a truly magical setting, and possibly a display of the Northern Lights. And mom will definitely want to book an in-water massage!
