This was my second visit to the Atlantis and my first stay at the Cove. I was definitely expecting a different experience. You could tell that the employees wanted to provide a good experience for the guest. Their attitudes for the most part were great. However you could feel that the quality once known at the resort is no longer a priority. We saw a lady in distress wait over 20 minutes for emergency assistance. We don’t know if she ever received assistance because the staff required us to leave the scene. We called for help and the staff showed up with oxygen tanks. According to a witness the lady had fallen from a balcony into a pond. The rooms lacked the basic consistencies of most hotel rooms like the same brand amenities. When we requested shower gel we received bath gel. When our room was cleaned the empty items like tissue was not replaced without requesting. Then an extra box was removed the next day. We asked for extra water and was told they were only allowed to give 2 per room. The toilet clogged and was not cleaned. The shower had remnants of a prior guests hair upon arrival. Bahamians are known for their tourist passion so I don’t doubt that the employees are doing their best. Needless to say, I don’t have the desire to return. Read less

The Atlantis is a great place to stay & visit. But prices for food was outrageous. We go there 3-4 times a year & this past trip the food was so much more money. They don’t give you enough food for the price they charge. Taxes, Va Taxes & Tip is always included which make the workers feel Rather they give good services or not they get a tip.

I have been wanting to come to Atlantis for years and we finally decided to pull the trigger for our honeymoon. We stayed in The Cover tower and truly had the most amazing experience. The entire resort is beautiful, well kept, and clean. The water is so blue it looks fake. Our room was very nice, spacious, and clean. When we arrived we received a complimentary beach bag, flip flops, and reuseable water bottles which were such a nice gift! Housekeeping did a wonderful job our entire stay. The waterpark and slides are such a cool feature and were so fun! We did an excursion through Pieces of 8 and it was hands down our favorite part of the trip. Swimming with the pigs was such a unique experience and getting to see other islands was remarkable. The Bahamas are just stunning. The food and drinks are expensive, but worth it. The food was amazing and drinks were so tasty. The staff was great, very attentive and friendly. Our only downside the whole trip came during our last 3 days. Our tower gave us special access to an adults only pool, which was a huge selling point for us paying what we did, since we dont have kids. a company was there on some sort of business trip. Each morning they would arrive as soon as the pool opened, would take 20 towels, and reserve every single chair around the top pool at The Cove. Which are the best seats at the pool. I thought it was really inconsiderate that they did that (especially considering each day they also had rented private day beds and a cabana, so there was no need for them to also take the best general admission seating as well). The chairs at most were half filled and with such a busy pool it made it unnecessarily harder on the other guests to find seating. I dont think reserving that many seats should be allowed.. there should be a better system to where you only get the number of towels equal to the individuals there at that time. I was watching other parties be told they would have to sit separately meanwhile this company had 10 open seats at any given point. It was as if they were saying they were more important than everyone else. I wish the staff wpuld have done a better job of preventing that. But that was a minor issue in an overall wonderful experience. We would definitely return here Read less

The staff was awesome, we had a personal trip that went to a business trip. The service was great , the room was clean and good. The butler service was too good to be true. The Cove cabanas are the best in the world.
