The Coral at Atlantis

Nassau, Bahamas

Virgin rating

The hotel

Luxury in the Bahamas needn’t be off-limit to families. Built to bring all generations together, The Coral at Atlantis Paradise Island has re-opened after being re-designed and re-imagined with features, facilities, and fun for every age and stage of your crew. As well as the revamped rooms, with their balconies and tropical styling, and a sleek pool that’s more Miami than castaway island, The Coral adds decadent family touches like lollies at the swim-up bar and a gelateria in the lobby. Its setting on the island adds to the child-friendly feel, with Bahamian white sand beaches and Marina Village handily close. And you get access-all-areas to all the island’s dining venues and attractions, giving you something to thrill each member of your family — whether that’s plunging past shark-filled waters down the near-vertical Leap of Faith or splashing about in the Mayan-themed children’s water playground.

Incredible resort and waterpark! I especially loved Dolphin Cay and my trainer for a day experience. Ask for Panda if you can, she was amazing and helped me conquer my fear of the stingrays and sharks. The spa was also really nice, if you get your hair down as for Brea - she did an incredible job!!! I spent the most time at Dolphin Cay and did a different activity every day. I recommend this if you can - every activity was wonderful and a unique experience. I saved Ultimate Trainer for the end as an exciting wrap-up to a great trip. Lastly, the Casino is nice, but there is no poker room. There are a few table games besides Blackjack, but if you like Poker this isn't the best casino for you. Read less

Besides The Coral being centrally located near all, Jean and Teneil at the front desk were super nice, helpful and accommodating. They were such a pleasure! Walking distance to marina and restaurants, beach and waterpark. The best place for a family vacation.

Rooms were clean. Great location, the weather was perfect. The fitness center was clean, good assortment of equipment. Love the towel, water and fruit. Love the water slide experience, tried the roaring rapids and the big slide, which everyone should try once. Overall, solid trip!

Only go if you are interested in the WaterPark / grounds and live to walk. 15,000 steps a day was the norm. (And the gym facilities are nice too). Those were the highlights and what justifies the cost. The beaches are nice. The grounds are well kept and safe. The food choices at dinner are limited, expensive and the food quality is incredibly disappointing. The rooms were also disappointing- tired, slightly dirty and not well maintained. Read less
