Unfortunately, multiple factors would make me not return to This resort. excursions got canceled, did not get the services we ordered at the spa, and when we got there, they doubled the price. For a couples massage with adding on paraffin wax and hot stones was almost $1000. And unfortunately, the massage was very poor. the cost, was outrageous!

Among the best resorts in the world, located in such a beautiful location. Room was pristine with wonderful view. Bed was perfect and safety was never an issue. All of our needs were met with very friendly and personable staff. Would recommend Atlantis to everyone

One of the best resorts we have been to. The open air lobby hooked us right off, and the room, the service, the food and drinks and the pool/beach access were all exceptional. Starbuck's close and workout facilities at Atlantis always got our mornings off to a good start. Plan to go back more often.

We’ve stayed at The Cove any times. This trip was so disappointing. They seem to have cut back on just about everything. The room was tired with dirty, worn and torn carpets. No vanity kits, robes nor wearable slippers. The balcony overhang above us was missing large pieces of concrete. Housekeeping service was minimal at best and evening… Read more
We’ve stayed at The Cove any times. This trip was so disappointing. They seem to have cut back on just about everything. The room was tired with dirty, worn and torn carpets. No vanity kits, robes nor wearable slippers. The balcony overhang above us was missing large pieces of concrete. Housekeeping service was minimal at best and evening turndown service consisted of being given 2 cans of water with no dirty towel pickup or exchange. Beds are super comfortable and the view of the harbour breathtaking. We would be hard pressed to return. It’s not what it used to be! Read less

Save your money and travel anywhere but here (Atlantis). Food and drinks and expensive, service is below mediocre with most of the staff being lazy and/or just rude. Casino staff were by far the worst employees at Atlantis. Restaurants randomly close, despite you having a reservation. Nobu decided to close one night before our reservation and charged me $100 for a cancellation. Room was mediocre but our shower vent was broken so it banged really loud if we opened the door outside due to the pressure change. Lazy river was great but they variate the water levels, sometimes it was awesome and sometimes you might as well walk around it yourself because it’s to slow. If you’re coming here for the beaches just go to St Thomas & St John USVI and thank me later (cheaper there too). Expect to spend $30-40 per meal per person, in the nicer restaurants that would be $60-100 per person. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemies. If you’re destined to visit the Bahamas go to Baha Mar and you can do day visits to Atlantis for your daily shaming. Read less
