The hotel

Throwing you into the full Atlantis experience, The Royal is as legendary as the myths that inspired and infuse them. The architecture, the artwork, the adventures — each have a cheeky nod to the Lost City of Atlantis, but the well-dressed rooms and suites are a little less kitsch, coming with French or full balconies and views over the terraces, water, or harbour. Their spot on Atlantis Paradise Island puts you right by Atlantis Casino and at the heart of the world’s largest outdoor ‘marine habitat’ — with 14 lagoons and more than 50,000 aquatic residents, from sharks to barracuda. The island’s other fabled fun’s yours for the taking too, whether its experiencing rides or slides at the 141-acre Aquaventure waterscape; snorkelling the ‘ruins’ at Atlantis; or kicking back at one of its 21 restaurants and 19 bars.

Great time was had at Atlantis. Our stay in the Royal Tower was amazing. The beds and rooms were great - we found the beds to be very comfortable. Very easy to get around. Dining options offer something for everyone. The resort was easy to get to, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the pool was great.

We have visited Atlantis for the last 20 years. This was by far our best experience with the front desk. Alexes was charming, competent, and made a lot of difficult changes. Somehow our three reservations were no longer linked, and we were in two different towers and three different floors. In the past, this would have been an insurmountable challenge for the staff! However, she just set to work to make it right and really made our vacation special right from the start. Well done Read less

Birthday trip was worth it. Rooms are clean and service is great. The Atlantis literally has everything. Water park, beaches, even pool side bingo. Breakfast at Murray’s and dinner at Carmines. Thanks to the staff at Carmines for the Birthday song.

The main recommendation I have is 4 days is plenty of time to lay around on the beach and check out the waterpark. The food is overpriced and not great, water is expensive. If you're an adventurous/active family, probably not the best place to go.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Good but could have been better.

Nov 22, 2024 Mike M Barrie, Canada

The resort overall is very nice, especially the pools and park areas. It’s a slow time in November but they didn’t have any rooms with a king size bed so we had to settle for a room with two queens. We found a number of good restaurants closed. Many casino tables closed limiting options. Food is good but expensive.
