Atlantis, Paradise Island

Did not stay at the resort, but each time I have visited New Providene we purchase the day pass there. The resort is unbelievable.. a little to glitzy for my tastes, but the aquarium part as well as the water attractions(water slides) are a blast,. Need to move there

This was my second trip to the Atlantis, so I was prepared for high prices but this is what I found. Atlantis is truly a water park and aquarium on steriods. However these attractions come with a price. Service is poor. There are long lines to eat at all restaurants (reservations needed for most) and then there is the expense. Dinner for two at Johnny Rockets (two hamburgers, french fries, two shakes = $49). Dinner for two at Carmines Italian rest = $102.00, get the picture. Well after about two days of 3 times the normal price you get enough, the problem is that there is no where to go! Try purchasing a bottle of water, 12 oz = $4.00 and it won't even be cold. Try finding someone who cares and you will be on a long hunt (pack a lunch). Then there are the crowds! Everywhere! If you are going for peace and quiet this is not the place. You will constantly be herded in with hundreds if not thousands of people you will never see again, everywhere you go. Oh, by the way, when you check out you will get another surprise...you will have to pay a 1x bellman gratuity of about $6 per person, and Room gratuities of $10 per person PER DAY! They won't tell you this upon check in. Anyway, I was at the Atlantis with 400-500 people who travel very regularly and 99% percent agreed that they would not return.
