The only tower I would stay with my family would be The Reef. We had an amazing one bedroom ocean view that has 2 bathrooms and about 1000sq feet. IT just makes it so easy to get ready when you have 2 boys for dinners. We were attended with such high pleasure and service by Vanessa Smith. She is very caring and has knowledge about everything.

IT just makes it so easy to get ready when you have 2 boys for dinners. We were attended with such high pleasure and service by Vanessa Smith. She is very caring and has knowledge about everything. She was so patient and attended to everything I needed. She is a gem for your hotel, super friendly and loves her job. Also I need to mention Cyprianna my new Aries Friend at the concierge who made it possible to squeeze us at the Fish restaurant for my husband's bday, From all our family thank you for making our stay so memorable. I am already looking to book again . Sota Family Read less

Just came from a 5 night stay at The Reef. Our room was large and super clean and we had a great view! The Reef definitely has the nicest beach at the Atlantis.

Just came from a 5 night stay at The Reef. Our room was large and super clean and we had a great view! The Reef definitely has the nicest beach at the Atlantis. I do wish there were umbrellas or huts at the beach as it gets super hot and the canopy chairs don't block the sun when it is directly in front of you. Aquaventure was fun. Lines were not long for the most part. On Sunday, there are many cruise ships in port and it got busy, but other than that, very enjoyable. My only real caveat with the resort is the food. Some places were good, like Paranza and Fish, but otherwise the food was mediocre at best and incredibly overpriced. Read less

The Bahamas is stunning and the reef is pretty for what it is but could definitely use a good renovation. It’s well kept but old. The service absolutely sucks. The women who work in the overpriced food shop in the lobby are so rude. While the bellmen have been helpful the concierge has pointed me in the wrong direction numerous times. They don’t take cash which is annoying AF and everything is so expensive. Also unrelated to the property, the locals have been so rude. Grown men yelling at my 4 year old son, cab drivers being nasty to me while I’m with my son because I challenged the rate that was clearly a rip off, women attempting to snatch things off of my table at a restaurant. In all my travels, I’ve never encouraged such nasty people and I live in NYC! Also the food is not so great. I’m making the most of my time with the pool, kids activities and cocktails (those have been great) but I’ll never return. Between the bad service, high price tag and rude people - it’s not with my money or energy. You can get even better weather, food and good service for far less. Read less

The reef offered plenty of space in the two bedroom suites for the parents and the kids to have their own rooms. Also gave the kids an opportunity to stay with Mimi and Papa. The rooms were clean and had a full kitchen for the baby and a few in room meals.
