So I’m VERY late doing this review. Every time I sit to write it life got in the way. Our 5th visit in August to Atlantis was our best yet and it’s all thanks to the dedication of the hard working members of staff. We had a two bed suite for myself, husband and 4 children. It had been refurbished to an exceptional standard. The bathroom with the freestanding bathtub really has the wow factor and the dressing room was fabulous to get ready in each day. Having the suite includes free pick up from the airport. As soon as we were picked up everything ran smoothly. As we were escorted to the royal majis (I think that’s how it’s spelt🙈) we all got offered a cold drink which was delicious. Just as we finished checking in and we were about to be taken to our suite my husband recognised a staff member who had served us each day in the imperial club a few years previous. Sibi instantly came over to us to greet us and said he would escort us to our room. Sibi made our stay extra special and I was really touched by the birthday and wedding anniversary treats he sent to our room. Whenever we would see Sibi around the hotel he would always happily great us and nothing was too much trouble for him. You’ve got an exceptional member of staff in Sibi. We would spend happy hour in seafire each night and again each and every member of the seafire team went out of their way to look after us. One of my children was only 20 months so sitting for a quiet drink is normally unheard of as she just couldn’t sit still. Our little girl just wanted to run about and the lovely Dearmiss instantly struck up a bond with my little whirlwind Layka and would come take her for a walk, play with stickers at the reception desk and was kind enough to keep Layka occupied while we enjoyed our evening. After a few days Layka would be running into seafire to see Dearmiss. Each and every member of staff at seafire was so lovely and I’m so sorry I didn’t get everyone’s name. It’s always been my favourite restaurant in Atlantis but the staff there looked after us so well and really made our evenings relaxing and enjoyable. The swimming pool as usual was immaculate, the music was great and we never once struggled to get a sun lounger after breakfast. Aquaventure is great and my children absolutely love it. I would tend to stay on the lazy river with my two younger children and my husband would go off on the bigger rides with the older two. It has something for everyone. On the second to last night (we wanted to spend our last night in seafire and say goodbye) we thought we’d eat in hakkasan. We had the children so we had to book an early reservation. The food was absolutely out of this world. I would possibly not take a toddler next time though. It’s so beautiful inside and my little one wanting to run about just wasn’t great so I really couldn’t enjoy my meal and appreciate the food as much as would have liked. Next year I’ll possibly just make it a night for myself and my husband. So, our 5th trip to Atlantis was again another awesome experience and I really want to say to Sibi, Dearmiss and the staff at seafire you really made our holiday and we hope you’re all still there next time. We can’t come this year with the current pandemic situation but we’re hoping to be back next August to see you all. We can’t wait. Looking forward to our 6th visit. The Gambles xx Read less

5 stars for the staff, amazingly friendly upon check in, car parking assistance and around the hotel especially the restaurants. 3 stars for the room service and the length in answering the phone as you'd need to book reservations. Was given waivers on supplementary charges to say sorry, which was nice. Overall 4 stars
