We were blown away at how beautiful the Atlantis site is. Staff was very helpful and courteous. The food was delicious. Pricey but varied and enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone to go to Nassau, Bahamas Atlantis at least once in their life.

We stayed at the Reef this time, and although it is quieter than the other hotels, it was just too long of walk to the slides. We would probably stay at the Royal the next time.

Tourist Trap ... plain and simple. Here with my family and as a family we are enjoying our time together. The place is not a disaster. I am giving this resort a "poor" rating not because the place is less than "average" for a beach resort; but because they command a premium price and fail to deliver. The Atlantis are way over priced for the subpar service, amenities, and food they provide. This place really is the quintessential Tourist Trap. You can do a lot better elsewhere for your money. We go on at least one of these types of vacations every year at different price points and we will not be coming back to the Atlantis. You should look elsewhere as well ... unless you like Tourist Traps, than this place is for you. Don't be fooled by the response from the media relations group of the Atlantis. My family and I are never looking for the "perfect" experience, that is of course impossible in most cases. We are only writing this review so that you are aware of what you are potentially buying into; you really can easily do better elsewhere. We are having fun and are generally happy on our family vacation at the Atlantis, we just also know we could have easily done better for the same amount of money. As for the Reef at the Atlantis; The rooms are very out dated. The place requires renovations to bring it out of 1985 and into the 21 century. Especially given the price point for the rooms. I do not know what the rooms at the other hotels at the Atlantis look like; but I do know that I have stayed at nicer and cheaper hotels in othet resorts in the Caribbean. The Reef's beach is beautiful and out of the few different beaches at the Atlantis the Reef beach is the best. So if you are going to stay at the Atlantis I would recommend the Reef for its beach (or if you are staying at another Atlantis hotel, make your way to the Reef Beach; they say it is exclusive but no one is checking) The water activities are certainly nice; but many resorts in the Caribbean have similar activities with much better quality of all around stay. Don't be drawn in just for the water activities, look around. The "Aquarium" attractions are also a nice, but your metropolitan area probably has a better Aquarium. Go to that on another weekend and find a better resort with out an Aquarium for your family vacation. If you are looking for excursion while staying on paradise Island; check out the Exuma "Powerboat" tours; these guys were fantastic. Nice beach, great food, great enthusiasm and friendliness. Our tour to "swim with the pigs" is the highlight of our vacation so far. You do a lot more than just swim with pigs. Read less

I was both extremely anxious and excited to be doing my first solo trip but I couldn’t have chosen a better location! Staff at the Reef were AMAZING! ALWAYS friendly, willing to help, met with a smile, always greeted you with a good morning, hello, how are you? I never met anyone who showed me anything different. My Studio Ocean View 16th floor was gorgeous. The view from my room was amazing; superb view looking out onto the ocean during the day and the resort during the night. Facilities were great and I never felt like I was missing anything. Room was totally soundproof from the noise outside by the pool. I didn’t speak to everyone but there were no miserable faces anywhere. Rachel, Cerises and Vanessa on the front desk were just wonderful to interact with - lovely ladies indeed! Polite, helpful, respectful, welcoming; they always made me feel like I was a priority any time I spoke to them. Bridgette from House Keeping! Just lovely, she made sure my room was turned down everyday resources replaced and my room reset. Always met me with a smile and made me feel very special! Bell Men! What can I say - just superb! Always there to help, answer questions, help me with my bags if needed, one even showed me the best place to watch the sunrise! The location is beautiful, the grounds are kept clean, restaurants were great. Albeit the hotel is Amazing your staff made my holiday even better - they are a credit to your resort 100% Read less
