Children’s Corner
At NIZUC, there are endless opportunities for families to share many magical moments. Kids will never forget the day spent out on the water lying on mom’s paddleboard counting all the beautiful fish in the reef, or the sunny afternoon they snorkeled with dad.
But where do kids between the ages of 4 and 12 find fun when mom and dad slip away for a cocktail and ceviche? At Winik’s Kids Club, of course. It’s located near the Main Pool at the center of our resort, and offers endless options for fun—completely free of charge.
Our qualified and friendly staff go above and beyond for your little ones, leading activities that take place at the club, in the pool, and on the beach. There are exciting excursions around the resort, easy cooking classes, mini-Olympic tournaments, and piñata parties. There are even ping-pong and hockey tables to play on. And, who can forget the many different watersports we have for your kids to try out?
When they need to take a break from all the action, they can munch on delicious snacks from our kids’ menu, like macaroni and cheese, mini hamburgers, chicken fingers and French fries, as well as Mexican classics like chicken soup with rice and vegetables.
If your tweens are looking for technology access, we have just what they need. Our fast internet keeps them connected, so they can stay in the loop with what’s happening back home. They can also just chill out and watch their favorite movie or play Xbox 360.
No matter what they choose, we promise your kids will come back rested, inspired, and full of stories to tell.
