handicap mom on family vacation Not handicapped or stroller friendly. We had to split up our family group due to no ramps/working elevators next to a step path. As I was left alone due to certain dress code. Bathtub has black on outside and inside afraid to even take a bath Pool staff are rude and unhelpful People leave pool chairs empty all day leaving no one else places to sit even had another guest take sun umbrella literally out from under our chairs. Broken water slides or down for service after waiting in line for them to open up at 10am Resort staff went above and beyond Plugs by table against TV wall didn't work where the table is located read more

Paradise really does exist at Atlantis feels. The entire resort is stunning; nearly breathtaking. The Cove is the adult tower which instantly puts you in vacation mode. There's perfect water temp and hues, soft white sand, amazing pools and super fun waterslides! The Cove has its own private beach with a calm exclusive vibe. I loved starting the day swimming in the ocean, relaxing on the sand, eating at a restaurant, feeding the sea turtles and stingrays, snorkelling in the lagoon and ending off with a stroll in the little "village" shopping away. Rooms are spacious and modern with windows overlooking stunning ocean views. Waking up to that blue water every morning felt unreal. Dining has lots of options ranging from Nobu to casual spots. The famous Atlantis water park is full of kiddos sunlike the cove but to not go on the iconic Mayan Temple waterslide would be a huge mistake. This waterslide has two sides, a slow tube float or a high speed huge drop and the best part about it is that they go through a real shark tank! When you're on the tube side you get to really enjoy your views and watch the sharks swimming by in awe. If you're visiting the Bahamas and want that perfect mix of luxury and fun; Atlantis is the place to be and the Cove is the cherry on top! read more

My family and I recently stayed at The Royal at Atlantis for seven nights, and while the resort is beautiful, our overall experience was disappointing. We chose Atlantis because of its reputation as a luxury destination and spent more than $15,000 expecting a first-class family vacation. Unfortunately, our stay started with a long check-in and multiple room changes after discovering mold and mildew odors in our Imperial Suites. When we finally moved into our reserved Two-Bedroom Suite, we found more maintenance issues, including stained and buckled carpet, peeling paint in the bathtub, broken fixtures, and signs that the room hadn't been properly inspected. What disappointed us most wasn't that problems occurred--it was how they were handled. It often felt like asking for help was an inconvenience. Staff would apologize, promise to accommodate us, and then move on to the next guest without following through. Even after escalating our concerns and sending detailed emails to Executive Guest Relations, we received little to no response. The rooms also gave the impression that Atlantis is no longer investing in maintaining its accommodations to the standard expected of a luxury resort. While the grounds, beaches, and water attractions are incredible, many of the guest rooms feel dated and in need of significant updates. One bright spot was the Imperial Club staff. They were warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our family feel valued. However, the lounge food was the same every day, and the drink selection was limited. We also learned the spa and theater were closed during our stay, which was disappointing since those were amenities we had planned to enjoy. Dining throughout the resort was another letdown. The restaurants were extremely expensive, and many felt more commercialized than special. For the prices being charged, we expected a much better overall experience. Atlantis has the potential to be an amazing destination, but the customer experience doesn't currently match the price or the brand's reputation. Better room maintenance, more responsive customer service, and leadership that genuinely follows up on guest concerns would make a tremendous difference. We still made wonderful memories as a family, but it's hard to justify the cost when so much of our vacation was spent dealing with issues that should have been resolved before we ever arrived. read more

Came here for a week slot tournament event, and loved every minute of it! The rooms are super comfortable, super cold A/C, and plush beds and pillows (I slept great!). I did not see any plumbing issues and our shower and bathroom was great at our guest room and public areas the entire time. The casino has a bright, fun vibe and you feel like you are in a great casino spot! We had dinner in one of the Ballrooms and super impressive spaces. The pool and waterslides are super fun and well worth the day - but this place is BIG and takes about a full day to get acquainted to it all. My simple lunch for two at Shake Shack was $50 - just be prepared. And bar drinks at Bar Sol are yummy but do not expect fast service but they come out quality. We explored into town one day - walking over the bridge into town takes about 50 minutes (no uber in the city, but taxis available at main entrance) but the town left to be desired. You want to stop, relax, and enjoy this resort. The marina area is well worth seeing as well - attached to the hotel but offers a fun different vibe than the resort- check out Dilly Club Bar for the best cocktails. read more

I went to Atlantis on a day pass through NCL cruises, and honestly it was totally worth it. I had a great time. I started off doing the slides and really ended up loving The Abyss the most. It was dark, fast, and just had that cool vibe at the end with the cave and splashdown. Way better than the Leap of Faith, which was over in like 2 seconds. The Drop and Serpent Slide were also fun, especially since they felt a bit longer and less rushed. The Dig and Predator Cove Aquariums were also super fun and immersive! So many sharks and other marine life! After all that, I ended up hanging out at Cove Beach for like 2 hour it was super chill, beautiful water, and not as crowded as the main beach. I grabbed something to eat at Pita by the Cove, which hit the spot. Definitely on the pricier side (day pass cost me $190 through NCL and included transportation but not lunch which was another $23) for me, it was a great mix of fun and relaxation since I enjoy water slides. read more

The beach was full of trash ans the staff does not clean it up and the attention to detail was lacking in the hotel.

3.5/5 The Royal Atlantis The Atlantis Bahamas is truly a spectacular resort with stunning amenities and a breathtaking property. From the moment we arrived, the lush grounds and impressive architecture set the tone for a luxurious getaway. The beach here is absolutely gorgeous--powdery white sands and crystal-clear, turquoise waters that are perfect for relaxing or swimming. The scenery is postcard-worthy, making it a perfect backdrop for a memorable vacation. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff was friendly and accommodating, answering most of our questions with professionalism. We appreciated that they were able to accommodate our early arrival around 10 a.m. after a red-eye flight, which was a thoughtful touch. During our stay, we also ordered room service--a burger that was okay, but the fries were lukewarm and not very appetizing. To make matters worse, they didn't bring water or a straw with the meal. When we asked the server, the gentleman said he would be back to get them, but unfortunately, he never returned. That small detail really impacted our experience and highlighted some of the service inconsistencies throughout the resort. We did encounter a few other snags, especially with service at various venues. Some places felt like the staff were either absent or lacked enthusiasm, which was surprising given the high standards I expected at such a renowned resort. The overall experience was marred somewhat by the overpricing of food and drinks, with a 25% tax that included tip--quite steep, especially considering the quality of service. It felt like the extra charges might discourage staff from going above and beyond for guests, which was disappointing. Despite these issues, the one standout experience was the Dilly Club, which truly deserves a 5/5 rating. The servers there were especially friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed. Interestingly, we learned that the Dilly Club is privately owned; had it been operated directly by Atlantis, the service quality might not have been as impressive. Nonetheless, it was a highlight of our trip. On a positive note, the resort's gym was excellent--well-equipped, clean, and perfect for a good workout. The amenities and natural beauty of Atlantis are undeniably impressive, with the vibrant marine habitat, expansive pools, and the stunning beach and water views providing endless opportunities for relaxation and fun. For specific dining and entertainment experiences, check out my reviews for the Moon Bar, Bar Sol, Chop Stix, Silan, Dilly Club, Plato's, and Shake Shack, Cocodrilo, Plato's, The Dilly Club, Starbucks and so much more Overall, Atlantis Bahamas offers a beautiful setting with plenty of amenities, but some service inconsistencies and pricing issues slightly marred the experience. Still, the gorgeous beaches and water alone make it a destination worth visiting. read more

I was at a business convention and not with my family so I was less concerned with activities and overall experience. HOWEVER, I can't let my stay pass without commenting on a few things to help others make an informed decision on their vacation plans. - no hot water in shower for 4 days - service painfully slow at restaurants and food mediocre at best. - hotel not unkept but clearly "tired" and in need of a renovation. - prices outrageous in bars and restaurants for value exchanged. - water park fun and one of the only pluses. Not recommended for a family vacation and/or romantic getaway too many other better choices. read more

This property suffered a catastrophic failure on my floor causing a severe flood and ceiling falling with electrical and Brittany the manager would not move us and would not forgive the reservation. The toilet leaked the whole time and the bathtub was missing some enamel. Floods and electrical all over, definitely not where you want to take your family. Do yourself a favor and don't ever stay at this cesspool. Never had this type of incompetence at the Baja Mar. The management (if you can find them) won't do anything to help. For the cost of this it is a total waste of time and money. Never again read more

My friend lost her wallet in the water park and didn't realize until hours later. The investigations unit was amazing! The lady who helped us find the wallet her name is March. If it wasn't for her, my friend would've been stuck in the Bahamas! Forever grateful for the amazing staff and especially March! read more

This is my ( now deleted ) Tripadvisor review from 2010 (Part 2) Water Park, Pools and Beaches: I mentioned Cruise ships because this is the one reason that I would never ever go back here and recommend that you avoid Atlantis. ATLANTIS ALLOWS 4to5 (!!!!) SHIPS FULL OF PASSENGERS A DAY INTO THE WATER PARK , POOLS AND BEACHES ! We had a ritual when we went to breakfast in which we would look out of the elevator lobby window to see how many ships pulled in overnight. Now, I don't begrudge Atlantis wanting to make some extra money, but really. I laid down some serious cabbage to have a nice vacation, I wanted a little exclusivity but you sold me out. At $150 per person they are making a mint. (4 Ships)*(500 per ship)*($150)= $300K. Nice. Easy. Money. We called them "Cruise Ship People" and you could tell exactly who they were. They are rude, demanding, loud, obnoxious Jersey Shore wannabes with all of their gold bling, giant sunglasses, leather orange skin , bad tattoos and My Cousin Vinnie accents. They are the epitome of the ugly American with an entitlement mentality. You can't pick up your trash or walk to step to put your towel in the bin? I see you how you treat the staff , I hope they spit in your Grey Goose cocktail that didn't have enough ice for you. A pox on all of you . I hope you all get the Noro virus . Atlantis, thanks for letting these vermin onto the grounds to diminish the return of my vacation dollar. I wonder what they are doing with that extra money ? Certainly not picking the trash up off of the beach. read more

Under construction. They do not tell this at booking and will not refund your reservation the cove is the most expensive rooms and they will have loud noise from 10-5 We even bought travel insurance which wont cover this Bad mangement. Dont go here read more

Just spent a week at The Royal and while we had an amazing view from our suite, the overall experience was underwhelming. The price you are paying is nowhere near the level of service that you are receiving even with the additional VAT and automatic 15% gratuity. We had to call several times for maintenance for our suite during our stay. We had to endure cold showers on 3 separate occasions even though the sinks and bathtub had instant hot water. You could also tell that maintenance and attention to detail was lacking in many areas. The food quality and service in the majority of the restaurants did not match the price. Even confirming our return transportation back to the airport was a hassle and it was arranged through the resort. When you try and call from either the in room phone or your cell phone you cannot reach a person as none of the phone prompts work. When I went down to the front desk for assistance, I was informed that only they can reach the copy for you. This was never communicated and I find ridiculous. They also shutoff your internet access immediately after checking out even though you are still on property and not scheduled to depart for several more hours. I found this extremely tacky and cheap. Needless to say, my family and I will never be visiting this property again and will be sure to tell everyone to avoid as well. read more

Oh boy oh boy where do i even begin. At Atlantis Water Park in the Bahamas, a world of wonder awaits. Imagine cascading waters and thrilling slides that twist and turn like the dance of the ocean waves. The sun-kissed lagoons and serene pools offer a tranquil escape, where the gentle lapping of water soothes the soul. Dolphins leap with joy, and the vibrant marine life in the aquariums mesmerizes with colors as vivid as a painter's palette. Each corner of this paradise whispers tales of adventure and relaxation, inviting you to dive into a realm where dreams and reality blend seamlessly. The lush landscapes and azure skies create a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, making every moment at Atlantis a cherished memory. It's a place where laughter echoes through the air, and the spirit of the Bahamas shines brightly, leaving an indelible mark on the heart. read more

Resort was good. credit cards were stolen on our visit from a cruise on 4/1. Person charged several thousand at liquor stores before we discovered it. Was a real pain while on a cruise with no cell service. Have contacted security at Atlantis and Paradise Island police and hopefully they can catch the thief through security cameras and charges at stores. was very disappointed at the hassle. read more

While our first 24 hours was disappointing, things ultimately improved after we provided feedback such that management went out of their way to make sure that our experience was much better than how it started. The recovery certainly exceeded my expectations and even contradict statements made by other staff members, the overall review is three and a half stars because we were at a such a low point early on. Add to that I'm rounding down because we chose the cove based on representations that it is an adult only (over 18 years) tower. Each time we entered or exited our building we encountered small children and unaccompanied teens well below the age of 18. This was also the case at the adult only pool directly behind the Cove. Our lobby Security staff confirmed children were staying in the building during our stay so it's unclear if the rule is relaxed during the holiday season, when they're at full capacity elsewhere or generally speaking it's not enforced. read more

I Will never stay here again. Rooms at The Reef were in need of updating. had to call numerous times for repairs. No water in rooms. They give you two little metal bottles to fill at "water stations" outside. Water smelled like sulfer. To buy a bottle of water in store was $10 a bottle. Ordered yogurt parfait in Perch restaurant for $18. Received a mini scoop with two blueberries and some stale cereal typle granola. Whole place is a giant rip-off. They don't tell you that 18% gratuity is included in every single purchase...and they always hand you bill asking how much extra you want to tip. I'm done with this place. read more

Very high priced. Expensive restaurants- and 4 of us got a bacterial infection from sea bass apparently prepared by unclean hands. Ironically the lobbies are extremely cold (too much AC?) and very loud music is playing always. The pools don't have enough seating or umbrellas. Broken light by our bed, sink didn't drain. Wish the experience was better for the large price! read more

we reached here at 4:30pm and was told that no rooms are available. We got our rooms at 10pm. After paying, $600 per night for ocean view, we got tree view lol We got 6 rooms here and can't believe thats how they treat their visitors. read more

The worst place ever. From the customer service to the whole entire experience. Food quality and wait time, unprofessional and unwelcoming personal. Make you feel that you are doing them a favor to come and spend so much money at this place. Food sucks,casino you only lose non stop, quality is non existent, nobody wants to help, lazy river have little water so be ready to be bruised up like we did. The beach is full of stones in the water so we were injured and couldn't enjoy. The room was given to us had no Ac and carpet was soaking wet which is putting health in danger because of possible mold there! You can't leave your stuff unattended because it will be gone on the adult pool! And lost and found is just a joke! Which is not surprising because no one cares about guests! No one will be nice and friendly. No one says hello and if you say hello to them they ignore. Huge roach was in room which is discussing You want to come and spend Your money because its your special day? Be ready to have it ruined completely and be in constant stress like we were! We came to spend so much money at this place for the birthday and it was the worst miserable experience we have ever had! The whole stay was so bad that we tried to contact general manager and they didn't care! This place is so expensive and it's the worst possible place you can choose! The room service have only American coffee they don't even have milk! And breakfast they offer only eggs and bread?! This is the luxury place you are trying to call? We tried to choose between this place and Bahamar and who ever we know to Bahamar had amazing time and asking around about Atlantis everyone says only negative things. Even the checkout was bad ! They put in the bill something which we have never ordered! So be aware! Make sure to check everything because they will overcharge you for something you never had like they did to us! Do not go to this place unless you want to pay so much money and have the worst experience! Beautiful property but that's all. Nobody appreciates you there . read more

Rooms are old Holiday Inn at best. Worn carpets. I had no bath mat and 1 towel in a King room. There was no toilet paper roller.-Just an extra roll on a pipe in the corner. 1-Star for the fun water park and the Starbucks coffee in my room. Food and drinks are outrageously expensive. I only stay here because my employer makes me while here on business. I would never, ever bring my family here. My advice is to go on a cruise.-All inclusive. Thank me later. read more

We just got back (January 2022) and wow, where to start. Expensive does not stress how much they nickel and dime you. Every meal, even room service, is going to cost you hundreds of dollars. The service was terrible from rude staff to wait times for everything. I get island time but it should not take 45 minutes to get a drink in a bar when we are the only ones there. And it was literally 45 minutes, we never got our drink even after we got the apps we ordered (Sea Glass lounge) after asking for it 3 times. After 45 minutes we asked them to just tab us and they said they could not remove the drink even though they never made it, but they said ok no problem when we asked for the manager. The large pool was closed the whole time and all the pools are only open 9am to 5pm, but at 9:30 our first day the pools where not open yet. Also, we were told all the chairs and beds were booked and we could not sit on them yet they were empty all day. I get that people book them, but they never came and we had literally no where to keep our stuff. Our room had cracks in the walls, the baseboards were cracking, and it was just in bad shape and dated. We asked several times for directions or had questions for the info person at our tower (The Cove) and they could not tell us how to get to sundries, where to get the shuttle, etc. I realize they just had to be messing with us because after we were there a day it was all straight forward. We went to Marina Village and everywhere was closed except for a couple shops long after their advertised open times. I asked a worker and he laughed and said it is always like that. They proceeded to tell us it sucks there and we should leave and go elsewhere if we want to enjoy ourselves. This was an employee of the resort! Sadly, we could not wait to get home. read more

Been to ATlantis 6 different times. Last time before this was 9 yrs ago and certainly the place has gone downhill. This trip we stayed at a $1,000 a night suite at The Reef. The room was beautiful and had a huge wrapped balcony, but honestly the decor was dated and frayed. The property needs a refresh. Biggest issue w Atlantis now is they allow Cruise ships to have a day at the water park, so everyday you have between 5,000-10,000 walk ins that are out of control. The pools end up as diaper pools, it's a bit gross. Nearby Baha Mar is taking all of the new business and is very Las Vegas style, clean, well amenities etc. When you see the endless Atlantis TV ads with rooms starting at $199.00 that should tell you all you need to know. Don't bother unless you are the State Fair type. read more

Kids had an amazing time. Clean, professional and extremely helpful when one of our children got sick.

My wife and I stayed at The Cove in Atlantis. Everything was first class, fantastic upgraded room with king bed. Adult pool only. The surrounding hotels and pools were loaded with families which we avoided. Visited the casino one night, it was packed. Met a number of gamblers who received comped rooms to accommodate their hobby. Everything is premium priced, walked to the shopping mall to buy water and other necessities at more normal prices. Took the ferry into Nassau for a day of shopping and lunch. Great experience for our first visit. If we go again it would be to Exumas Island, which we are told has more brilliant beaches and clearer water. read more

This is my happy place! I love Atlantis so much! Best week of my life hands down! Im not sure why there are two reviews but they should definitely be 5 stars. The best water rides and experience in the world are located here! I would definitely recommend this heaven to other people. read more

As long as you want to spend a boat load of money and get very mediocre service this is the place for you. Misplaced dinner reservations, a staff who couldn't care less at 700 dollars a night and no concern for if you are taken care of or not doesn't seem top be a model business for me. When they take your dinner reservations get a name a time and some type of confirmation before they call you a liar and turn you away. What a shame, what a nice place and yet customer service means NOTHING to them. Get in line, pay and then get be treated poorly. read more

This resort is extremely overpriced, from the food to the "Experiences" they nickel and dime you for everything, not to mention the service is literally the worst I have ever experienced at any hotel. Employees are all grumpy, some are rude, and most are not helpful. The Resort itself is beautiful, but all my family and I could think about was how terrible the service was, it was something that almost overshadowed all the fun things we did read more

This is my first review ever! I feel I am forced in a way to write a review of this place and experience. Six years ago, our trip here was great. This time...absolutely terrible. RE: Staff: Excellent, welcoming and polite. Extremely nice people. Overall condition of property: terrible. It is obvious that the new ownership group is "milking" the property. The overall property is no where near as clean as in our previous visit. General maintenance is severely lacking. Even the so called "cabanas" are at least a year past needing painting. Peeling paint and bare wood is the rule here. Atlantis Water adventure: they obviously have a new policy regarding selling passes to cruise ships. On three of our four days here the crowds where so immense we really couldn't enjoy any rides....waits were 20-30 minutes on each....also, for unknown reasons some rides were closed. Food costs: fully aware prior how expensive this resort is... They have taken the costs to a new level. Dinner for my wife, teen age daughter and myself ....with 3 drinks....averaged $260-325 each night. Casino: they admit when pressed that they have changed their "comp" protocol. DO NOT EXPECT ANY COMPS! There review showed I played between 13-14 hours over the four days with an average bet of $214.00 (my calculations had my play at $250.00)...with an overall loss between of approximately $7K........They gave me a comp of $200 of my bill. After significant complaint and a drawn out meeting with the Casino Manager the comp was raised to $300. They literally state..."sorry, that's it". "We can't help you." Blaming the response on corporate mandates from the new owners. My wife and I have travelled to many luxurious resorts around the world. We wouldn't return here ...for free...seriously. The property is now equal in quality to a Holiday Inn. In a New Jersey beach town. If you decide to go after reading this review....print it out...and read it again when you return home. read more
