This was truly the most memorable vacation I have ever taken. I seriously don't ever want to go anywhere else besides Paradise Island moving forward and I've been to a lot of beautiful places, but none match up to Paradise Island!!!

The only problem we had was 1 afternoon coming up from the pool stopped by a security woman who was VERY rude because my wristband broke off and i didnt have it on but had a key card, I dont look like a spring breaker carrying a cove bag?

Start saving up now, or pack your own food and drink. The prices are outrageous on property. Yes, it is very well maintained and mostly friendly staff, but expect a large credit card bill when checking out, and that's being very cautious of what you buy. Nice, but so is the emerald coast of Florida.

We stayed at the Cove for 7 nights. When we arrived, check in was very smooth and quick. Our room was not ready as we arrived around 10:30 am, so we were advised to go to the transit lounge to leave our belongings and we could enjoy the property for the day. Once we got checked in, the room was clean and in good condition. The bell staff brought our luggage up very quickly. Throughout the stay, we had spotty housekeeping service. The room was cleaned every day, however, the housekeepers would consistently forget to leave items such as shampoo, lotion, or coffee pods. It was easy enough to call to get these items, but it shouldn't have been necessary. Throughout our stay, we enjoyed all of the pools, the waterpark, and shopping and dining facilities. All were clean and in good shape. The property definitely shows its age, but has been well maintained. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, from the towel huts to the restaurant staff, but it's worth noting that the pool service was very slow, and the cocktails were expensive for what they were. Overall, we had a great family vacation and would return to the Cove. Read less

I don't even know where to begin. Just about everything at the pool is wonderful. You guys even got the water temperature right this time! It was finally warm enough to enjoy!

I don't even know where to begin. Just about everything at the pool is wonderful. You guys even got the water temperature right this time! It was finally warm enough to enjoy! Chair availability is a bit hit or miss, and sometimes we have to go into the bin for our own towels (that's a forgivable offense). But the staff at the Cove Pool, and especially Thereze, is really the jewel in the crown of the Atlantis. She is the hardest working person on the property. She is always on the go, and consistently anticipating her customers' wants and needs. After observing her interactions with other guests, it's easy to see that she seems to have the same rapport with all in her care. She makes everyone feel like old friends, and yet she is always professional, accurate, and efficient. This becomes even more evident when she is NOT there, as the place just doesn't seem the same without her on her days off. I can tell you, without reservation, that if it wasn't for Thereze, we'd be a lot more likely to explore other hotel options. We also thoroughly appreciate the service that Kayla provides. She's another very hard worker and she always makes us feel welcome! James was also determined to ensure we had a good day, as he helped us to find seats and an umbrella. Tamika, Nasir, Kashan, and Masi are lovely. Brandon was so patient with our umbrella placement. And Sammy is a very nice addition - we've gotten to interact with him on the floors, but are happy to see him at the pool as well. Every area was spotless, and we watched the servers work tirelessly to straighten up when not taking orders or serving. The Cove rooms are old and tired. If you're going to continue to try to compete with the shiny, new, contemporary Baha Mar, you're going to have to try harder and update your look. And the number of small children and babies has really affected the atmosphere in the Cove tower. I just hope the powers that be recognize and reward the exceptional staff members, especially those named above, for their superior service. They, and they alone are the thing that keeps us coming back to the Atlantis, time after time. Read less
