Truthfully, I was pissed I didn’t eat at Sugar Cane for every meal that day. The service was fine and the decor was quite lovely but the food wasn’t anything worth talking about. I’m not sure if Bestie ever did get that pizza.īecause it was getting cloudy and Fresco was an outdoor restaurant (which smelled like grilled fish perfection), we skipped it for an indoor place. Especially considering the water park is the main attraction for the resort. The poor guys back there were doing their best but it was, in my opinion, hugely understaffed. It wasn’t a staff problem, it was a management problem. Dude? There couldn’t be a sign letting people know where to go or where to order? There can’t be a proper line? It was disorganized and I don’t blame the poor guys behind the counter. Good to know… now. I’ve written many times about my love for DR but this is one of the frustrating inconveniences about here and pretty typical. I am not exaggerating – an hour – and then they mentioned that there was a separate line to order the pizza. She waited on line to order a pizza for an hour. It took a bit long to order and get our food and Bestie had an even worse time. The options were pretty typical for a kids’ section restaurant so we ordered two cheeseburgers. Since we were over at the water park around lunch time, we naturally decided to eat there at Aqua Bite. Unfortunately, I’d say the lunch and dinner experiences were not as awesome. Did we have to go to the pool? Couldn’t we stay here all day? Hello, lover. Crepes, french toast, waffles, pancakes, NUTELLA, yum. Croquet-madame, breakfast chilaquiles, allllllll the bacon I could eat, and a coffee bar with flavored syrups and choice of Kahlua, Amaretto, Rum, Irish Creme, and then some. I’m a sucker for lox and bagels so the mountain of fresh salmon was show stopping. The first thing that caught my eye was the fresh salmon and tuna section. We walked around to each and every station to eye up and gush over the scrumptious looking options. With all of this food you want cereal with milk? It was a glorious spread and though my son said he wanted “cereal with milk” I was not having it.ĭude. So our first stop after surprising the kids with Tia Laura (Bestie) was to Sugar Cane, one of the on-site restaurants that she recommended.
That’s what I had to say to Husband and Bestie about my plans for the day. (And I’ll come back to the water park restaurant, Aqua Bite later.) “ALL I PLAN ON DOING IS EATING AND DRINKING.” PROS: I’ll be honest (I told you you’d get my honest opinion), I’m glad we got the Aqua Nick access this time but being that most summers we spend time at my parents’ time share that has similar pool fun, I’d probably not pay for it again. Since we were there with Bestie and her family (and the resort included Rafa in the under 4 category – she’s 4) we splurged and paid for the water park access too. The other, at $125, also included access to Aqua Nick, the water park. The first option was $85 which gave access to the pool, restaurants, and general hotel side. There were 2 options for day passes (kids under 4 are free).

I didn’t have to full name whisper-yell at either of our children to get back here because they were totally entertained with Ninja Turtles and playthings. Let’s be real here we all know checking in with kids could be a straight up disaster and since Husband and I took some time deciding which day pass we would buy, the attached playroom set aside by glass doors, made checking in painless. But my favorite part of the lobby experience was the playroom. I loved that it looked like Nickelodeon but with a contemporary feel a good balance of playful and chic. The lobby sparkled and smelled like oranges. They called over the valet to take our car and then escorted us in to the lobby. We pulled up and told them we wanted to get a day pass. ( I should note that we didn’t stay at the hotel but were there on a day pass.)ĪRRIVING WITH EASE to the Nickelodeon Resort in Punta CanaĪrriving was easy. Life Bestie (celebrating 26 years of friendship) and her family were in Punta Cana this weekend and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to hang with them and check out where she was staying. After posting pictures on FB, a bunch of people reached out asking me my honest opinion of the Nickelodeon Resort in Punta Cana, so I figured I’d answer them all at once. But the Dominican Republic has so many beautiful places to visit that we just weren’t in a rush until now. In the five years that we’ve been in the Dominican Republic, it was our first time in Punta Cana. It’s laughable, I know.
