Atlantis has always been our dream and we (2 adults and 2 children) were really looking forward to our stay there. The hotel (The Reef) is clean but bears visible signs of time. The room with a double bed and a sofa bed was sufficient for us. There is a small kitchenette in the room which is fully equipped. In general, at first glance everything is fine, BUT...
The Reef does not have a restaurant where you can have a simple and uncomplicated meal. There is only a Starbucks coffee shop and a small store where you can buy the essentials (at totally exorbitant prices - but I don't have to write that, do I?). And so, if a family wants to have breakfast, they have to go to the neighboring Royal and have breakfast there at the breakfast buffet for a whopping USD 39.99 per adult. In general, the food there was the biggest problem for our family. Our children don't understand that relaxation at Atlantis is of secondary importance and is completely subordinate to the food cult. Our children had a lot of fun at the hotel swimming pools and slides. The beach is beautiful even if a little rocky. There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach. Bahamas has culturally adopted everything from America, and what is very annoying is that tipping is expected at every turn and everywhere - even at Starbucks! Bottom line - we would not recommend this hotel to families with children unless you like to deal with meal planning on vacation. Even if the children are older, we will not return.
