Atlantis Bahamas
 

I'm planning a family trip in November.

Who been there ?
Witch hotel to go ?
pro and con, advices appreciated !

I've stayed there a bunch of times. Avoid the Bridge Suite if you're traveling with family. There's a ton of shit in there to break (I'm a careful guy, and feel like a bull in a china shop there). Check out the water slides and swimming with the dolphins. The beaches on Paradise Island are pretty good. I think I have some pics on my Facebook (my albums are public).

Putting a decent deposit (try $100k, but it may be higher now) with the casino will get you excellent perks during your stay, whether you gamble with the money or not (I did, but was never pressured to do so).

Check out Dolphin Encounters - http://www.dolphinencounters.com/pro...thdolphins.php

That was a blast, and they have their own private island you can play at for a bit. Lots of fun there.

Bridge suite is what, 25k/night? Lol. That's insane. I wouldn't waste a bunch in that casino either. A buddy of mine hit big there one time, but when we went back, we dropped 700+ in a few minutes and just left.

I wouldn't pay for it if it weren't comped, that's for sure. You're more likely to score a comp in the off-season.

Any more reviews ?

Been there a few months ago stayed at the Royal Towers. Very nice place to take the family my kids loved it . The kids loved the dolphin encounter. Stayed there for 8 days. The service was kinda slow at times but overall the trip was good.

"The Cove" part is very nice, but more adult oriented. The lazy river type ride is awesome. Your kids could be on that allllll day :) imo the cabanas that you can rent for ridiculous fees are a bit of a waste of money, but it depends what you want out of your vacation.

The food in the french restaurant was excellent but fancy, and there's an aquarium in the wall! Definitely go walkabout with the kids, there are fish exhibits all over the place.

Resort fees pissed me off. Other than that its a good place to relax.

The Italian restaurant wasn't bad at all also. Huge family style portions.

Oh, am I thinking of the Italian restaurant, then? It's been a while.. god, time flies.

dont sunburn your feet

dont chase Penthouse Pets down the big waterslide

Nick, ask Michel Plante, if I recall correctly he has experience with them.

Have not been in years...but I loved it! ;-)

Give me your gambling budget, I'll kick you in the nuts and you'll get the same end result minus a sun burn.

I looked into going awhile back.
You can stay at the hotel next door, which is nice for way less.
Then get a pass to see all the cool stuff at Atlantis.

So you can spend more on other activities instead of just overpaying at that hotel.
Maybe you don't care and want to spend the money...who knows...im hella cheap though..lol
