The Royal at Atlantis

Nassau, Bahamas

Virgin rating

The hotel

Throwing you into the full Atlantis experience, The Royal is as legendary as the myths that inspired and infuse them. The architecture, the artwork, the adventures — each have a cheeky nod to the Lost City of Atlantis, but the well-dressed rooms and suites are a little less kitsch, coming with French or full balconies and views over the terraces, water, or harbour. Their spot on Atlantis Paradise Island puts you right by Atlantis Casino and at the heart of the world’s largest outdoor ‘marine habitat’ — with 14 lagoons and more than 50,000 aquatic residents, from sharks to barracuda. The island’s other fabled fun’s yours for the taking too, whether its experiencing rides or slides at the 141-acre Aquaventure waterscape; snorkelling the ‘ruins’ at Atlantis; or kicking back at one of its 21 restaurants and 19 bars.

The positives: I felt safe everywhere once we got to the resort; the rooms are spacious and the grounds immaculate. The cons: we were not given adjoining rooms for our two (why?) but the family next to us we heard every scream, shriek and laugh from them at midnight, 6am, etc. called the desk, they said they’d send someone up; they didn’t.

The cons: we were not given adjoining rooms for our two (why?) but the family next to us we heard every scream, shriek and laugh from them at midnight, 6am, etc. called the desk, they said they’d send someone up; they didn’t. Every meal from fancy to shake shack was rushed… no asking how the meal was, so you want a drink. And over priced. I get it… not enough help. But you can’t charge $25 for a burger and then not deliver.. The activities on site? None of the free ones we tried (ping pong, cornhole, water games as examples ) was staffed and none occurred. Finally, don’t book from Expedia or anywhere other than Atlantis… you get last dibs on rooms, activities and reservations. It was a $20k price tag worth only a fraction of that. Read less

However, it gets very busy during the day with when the cruise ships come in. it is also incredibly expensive to stay there not just the room rates but everything cost a lot of money including around $10 for a basic Red Bull and anything that you need to get out of the shop is triple what you would see elsewhere.
