HOLLYWOOD, Fla., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI®,
the worldwide leader in vacation exchange, welcomes Nickelodeon
Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, part of Karisma Hotel &
Resorts, to its network of affiliated resorts. The entertainment
property, which opens this month, is a five-star experiential
resort designed to provide guests of all ages with luxury vacations
that are anything but serious.
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."
