The Snick Lounge

Leading the charge is the introduction of the Snick Lounge, an upscale, 90s-inspired space located in the former Vino Vino restaurant. With a dynamic arcade game room, sports lounge, and live music venue, Snick Lounge evokes the best of 90s Nickelodeon, featuring design elements from the brand's biggest hits of the era with a contemporary twist.

Food and beverage enhancements have taken centre stage, too. In the former Doppio space, the resort is introducing The Sweetery, a haven for coffee lovers and ice cream enthusiasts alike. Guests can take a photo with Nickelodeon's lovable and iconic grumpy cat, Garfield, known for his lasagna-loving, Monday-hating antics - adding a touch of nostalgia to their culinary experience.

With a coffee station and irresistible ice cream options, guests can choose from soft-serve scoops, popsicles, an array of decadent toppings and cones. Visitors can also indulge in all things savory at The Sweetery with a selection of deli options and tasty cold cuts to add flavor to their dining adventure. 

It doesn't stop there! Throughout 2024, additional resort enhancements will include new features such as in-room art updates and character-themed culinary experiences. Aqua Nick, the resort's world-famous waterpark, will include a new main entry, two pools with a slide tower, restrooms, splash games, and sun beds with large umbrellas.

Also coming this year will be new additions to the resort's live entertainment offerings – bringing even more Slime and opportunities for guests to interact with some of their favourite Nickelodeon characters.
