We visited Atlantis last week as a family group of six. The hotel was amazing and spotless! Despite the hotel being at near or full capacity it never felt crowded and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. They are great with kids especially the resort staff in the pool area who played basketball and other activities in the pool. Although we didn’t use the kids club we saw them out and about with the kids club staff and it looked fun. The fact that you also have free access to the water park and aquarium is a great bonus and we were at the water park most days. It does tend to get busy in the afternoon though. The included trip to a Dubai Parks & Resorts theme park is a great addiction and we chose Motiongate. As it is out of season it was extremely quiet and we didn’t have to queue for any rides. We tried various restaurants and bars at the hotel- Saffron, Kaleidoscope, BSK, The Shore, Ronda Locatelli, Plato’s and The Burger Joint. All were lovely and had a great selection. Ronda Locatelli and Bread Street Kitchen were the favourites with Kaleidoscope the best option for a varied buffet supper. Top tips - you won’t need lunch as the breakfast buffet at Saffron is huge! The Shore has happy hour from 5pm to 7pm with 50% off certain beers, wines and cocktails. Read less

We enjoyed our stay here, drinks are way over priced but the staff were really friendly everywhere around the resort. We really enjoyed the seafood and the Indian buffet nights we will recommend to friends

Stayed in Atlantis the Palm for 2nights in July 2019 Was our first time in Dubai not knowing what to expect.on arrival at the hotel waiting to check in realized I had left my bag with passports in it in the taxi .was in a panic but the staff were so calm and reassured us that this was not a problem. Within 20 minutes they had taken the number plate details from the camera surveillance at the hotel been in touch with the taxi company and the taxi was back at our hotel with the bag and contents intact we were so grateful and impressed with the way this problem was handled. It made our stay all the better for us. Was very impressed with the hotel was spotless clean you had people cleaning all day long without being intrusive Great selection of places to eat though can be a bit pricey Staff were lovely and very helpful nothing was a problem We will definitely be back had a fantastic time. Offer better deals for over 60s the golden oldies would be a good idea Read less
