Atlantis How many days?
 
HI, We are going to Atlantis for the first time in the fall with our two sons age 11! Right now we are booked for 4 nights (villa) 5 days! Do you think that is enough??? My sons love to swim/slides, ect?? Is it like Disney, busy, go go, ect? Is there enough to do. I am sure that we will go into town one day?? Thanks for the suggestion to go one Trip Advisor, it was a big help!!!! There are tons of reviews under Atlantis Harbourside if anyone else is interested!!
Thanks, Nat

I think 4 nights, five days is perfect. There is a LOT to do, like Disney and then some, but 5 days is the perfect amount of time to do it in. Plus if you spend more than 5 days there you'll probably go home in poverty, it's pretty expensive. I stayed with one other person for 2 nights/3 days and spent $900 not including flight or accommodations.

How long you stay depends on you. Will you lose the first and last day due to traveling? Five days sounds good to me.

We will lose the last day, our flight leaves at 12:45, we arrive at 1:20 the first day so thats not to bad???

We spent 6 nights and were not bored. We went into Nassau one day and visited the Pirate Museum and the straw market. There is also a Dolphin Swim/Encounter that you need to take a boat to that many people do. The water slides, beach, and pool should keep you busy for 5 days. There is also a "Club Rush" for tweens and teens (different hours for different age groups) with computers, video games,... Our sons did not visit it.

Your trip will be busy but more relaxing than Disney. Your sons should be OK to go on the slides and check in periodically with you while you sit by the pool, read, relax,...

We went for four nights/five days and had a great time. We lost half our first day traveling and our last day. I would have liked one more day for just relaxing, but that's me. Since we always have to change planes, our travel takes forever! If you have the time, one more night might be a good idea!

Thanks for all your help, I am not sure what do to...lol! We are really only going to have three full days??
We also have to change planes so the traveling days are busy!! I know my kids will not be bored thats for sure!
