The resort makes a point of understanding kids and giving them what they love. Starting with the bright palette used throughout the property and in each guestroom, staying in the hotel feels like living in a cartoon. The resort crams fun into every possible minute: Nick characters show up at breakfast in the Nicktoons café, a free daily entertainment lineup keeps kids engaged, and interactive programs like karaoke, family improv, and family-oriented game shows get everyone in on the fun (hotel guests can audition for a shot at performing in these nightly events). A supervised program for kids 5 to 12, Nick After Dark, keeps young ones entertained singing, gaming, and sliming while parents get a little time to themselves.

And the fun doesn't stop on dry land. Nick's resort offers two separate outdoor water-park areas: Oasis Pool, an Olympic-sized swimming pool offering slides, water flumes, and a preschool "splash zone" play area; and the Lagoon Pool, a zero-depth entry pool (heated, of course) featuring a four-story water tower with seven waterslides, a nine-hole mini-golf course, basketball nets, two hot tubs, climbing nets, water jets, as well as a 400-gallon tank that dumps water most of the time… and green slime once a day during the Mass Sliming. Private cabanas are available for rent and lifejackets are available to borrow at no cost at both Oasis Pool and Lagoon Pool.

Nick Suites offers traditional resort amenities but with a kid-friendly twist. For example, the Kids Spa offers braiding, hair wrapping, and temporary airbrushed tattoos in addition to the standard manicures and pedicures. The arcade offers today's favorites like Guitar Hero. And a gift shop doles out Nick-themed gifts, toys, and souvenirs.

The rooms are sure to put a smile on your child's face, even if they aren't quite up to Mom and Dad's luxury standards. Here, it's all about the kids, and that includes the accommodations: KidSuites with up to three bedrooms feature Nicktoons characters on the walls, and the décor is bright and funky, like an animated college dorm room. Two-bedroom suites have kitchenettes, while one- and three-bedroom suites offer fully-stocked kitchens with a range, refrigerator, microwave, and counter space.

Dining options inside the resort include a food court, bar and grill, snack shop, breakfast buffet, and a lounge where parents can relax with an adult beverage while their kids are off being kids. Given its location in touristy Orlando, there are plenty of dining options outside the hotel as well.
