Isn’t the photo above gorgeous?! It’s a photo of the Azul Sensatori Resort in Mexico, borrowed from the Azul Hotels By Karisma website. When it comes to family vacations, I’m sure there aren’t many things that could make a family getaway even more appealing. But there is!

Who doesn’t want to see turtles! I love turtles!

It’s fun exploring both new and old places! Give me comfy shoes and I’m ready to go!

Without character, people, places and things would be boring!
And, there’s this!

The Nickelodeon Experience At Azul Hotels By Karisma is now open! And I’m going to be checking it out in just a couple of weeks! (I really had to restrain myself from putting this in all caps when I typed this.) Here’s what I know.

I am so excited! I have never been to an all-inclusive family resort before. I have never been to Mexico before. I have questions, there are things I’d want to know before I went on a trip like this. And I don’t want to overlook anything, so I’m curious what other people would want to know. So, please help me out. Want to know what sort of food they serve? Ask me. Want to know what the dress code is? I can find out. Want to know about child care? I would too! Let me know any question you might have, so I can find out and share it with you when I return.
Let’s hear it!

I didn’t know they had a hotel. I think It sounds fun.
You know, I’ve tried and tried to think of a question, but you’ve pretty much covered everything. I’d love to take the kids there.
Awesome! The only question I have is how I’m going to convince my husband that we REALLY need to go!
I’ve GOT to get the family here. My kids would die if we took them there for vacation. They. Would. Die. But, you know, in a good way…
If this is anything like the Nickelodeon resort in Orlando you will love. I wonder if they will have the game show that mom and dad can get slimed.
Maybe I’ve missed it, but I’d love to know about food and transportation. When I plan I like to have everything all planned out so I can have an idea of just how much it’s going to cost our large family.
We have done a couples only all inclusive and loved it, so I would definitely visit one with the kids, especially if it were Nickelodeon themed! I would love to know the price point of a family of five and meal options before I made the plunge.
I would absolutely love to go there with my family. If I had any question, it would be about cost to do things with the kids. They always want to do EVERYTHING on vacation and I would want to be prepared.
This place is amazing. I can’t even think of a question because you covered everything but I certainly do want to go now!
I think an all-inclusive resort with kids sounds like a GREAT idea. It would be nice to have everything onsite and not have to worry about planning other activities.
It sounds like so much fun! I’d love to know all the specifics on activities for the kids. I’ve got younger kids and school aged also. Is there something for everyone?
When I think of Nickelodeon, I think of slime. I’d want to know if there was anywhere to get slimed, lol! I’m assuming not because it wasn’t mentioned, but I’d ask anyway. 😉 You’re going to have a great time, I already know it!
What a fun idea! I’d want to know which characters were there before going there – my daughter has a few she ADORES!
Wow this sounds amazing. I will have to try to get there. I’m pretty sure my kids, and myself would absolutely have a ball! We love NICK!
Don’t drink the water and remember ice is water.
I honestly do not travel enough with kids nor have any experience in this area to make an educated comment or question … maybe tips for people who have never travel to such a place or stayed in such a place with kids before would be a benefit? I think it looks like it could be a great experience!
I would like to know what all characters I might see while I was there. That would be my biggest question. It looks like fun!
I don’t have children so I have no real questions about the nickelodeon experience but I am sure my nieces and nephews would like it!
I haven’t travelled much with my kids other than a few road trips. But I am sure they would love to have the Nickelodeon Experience.
I would like to know what other activities they have for kids besides the Nickelodeon experience. Fab!
I just came from Mexico last month! Wow this is gonna be some press trip for you…how fun cant wait to read moe about this Nickelodeon experience!
I’d like to know what characters would we see? Also is when is the best time to go?
My boys would love this! It looks like so much fun and beautiful as well!
