Each of the 280 Oceanfront Swim-Up Suites will be 581 square feet, with two bathrooms and a balcony view of the Caribbean Sea and access to an infinity plunge pool. And of course, each room will feature artistic elements from Nickelodeon’s roster of characters.

There will also be three specialty suites available:

An Ode to Nickelodeon at The Big Kahuna Suite

Lovingly curated with 90s elements, the 3,000-square-feet, two bedroom Big Kahuna Suite features one-of-a-kind design elements that evoke Nickelodeon nostalgia. Custom pieces include a sideboard inspired by the signature purple glasses of Chuckie from Rugrats and neon artwork of the phrase "Happy Happy Joy Joy," the hit song from The Ren & Stimpy Show. Kids can enjoy a fully immersive Loud House-themed bedroom, all complemented by an ensuite bathroom featuring a free-standing tub and rain shower. There's even a 710-square-feet Ocean-Front Terrace for the ultimate private outdoor space with lounge furniture and an Infinity Plunge Pool that flows across the length of the Suite.

The All-New Lair Suite Takes Guests on a Subterranean Adventure with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Themed Accommodations

For Nickelodeon fans who want ultimate bragging rights, there is the brand-new Lair Suite, a rooftop penthouse paying homage to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that can accommodate up to seven guests. This new luxurious accommodation unique to the resort never felt cooler, where every iteration of the Turtles throughout the years is featured in the decor. Spanning 3,000-square-feet, the suite encompasses both indoor and outdoor living and dining areas, a Master Suite with a spa-inspired bathroom and two additional bedrooms. Guests will enjoy the 710-square-foot oceanfront terrace overlooking the turquoise water, complete with an infinity plunge pool and lounge space. Plus, in-suite butlers can arrange a variety of private experiences, such as an in-suite or moonlight beach dinner, daily afternoon tea, private wine tasting, aromatherapy menu selections, pillow menu selections, aroma baths, and more.

Fan-Favorite Pineapple Suite Brings Travelers to Bikini Bottom

Back by popular demand, the Pineapple Suite, which is also featured at the inaugural Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts property in Punta Cana, is the resort's signature dwelling. Inspired by SpongeBob's underwater home, the penthouse combines luxurious accommodations and modern amenities, with all of the fanciful trappings of Bikini Bottom, so guests can truly experience living in a pineapple under the sea. Pineapple Suite guests, like Lair guests, will additionally enjoy the decadent vacation offerings that are exclusive to signature penthouse suites, including 3,000-square-feet of indoor and outdoor living areas, an oceanfront terrace sporting stunning views, and private butlers to keep families pampered throughout their stay.
