I was there a few years ago and stayed in the Royal towers, but my brother stayed in the beach towers and said they were dumpy. He moved after one night. It was also far from the water slides/pools area.
Coral towers were nicer and more centrally located on the property.

Coral Towers rooms are nicer than Beach Towers rooms (the latter are the cheapest rooms at Atlantis), but neither is any better in my opinion than the Comfort Suites rooms. But I think you'll like Coral Tower.
However, I'm also a big fan of the Comfort Suites, where I've stayed twice. The free access to Atlantis is not without hassles (you have to stop at the hospitality desk and pick up a wrist band every morning), but it's a fraction of the cost and has free cooked breakfast, which doesn't vary much from day to day but is free, making it taste all the better to me. Guests at Comfort Suites have complete access to Atlantis and its facilities, so it's not just the water parks but the evening movies, the ability to make restaurant reservations, spa treatments, etc. It's a pretty nice perk.
If you decide to stay at Comfort Suites make sure you book a package that includes all fees and surcharges (they are disclosed, but there are a LOT of them). You'll save even more that way.
The all-inclusive packages at Atlantis can also be a decent deal, but you are highly restricted to certain restaurants and the buffet. Staying at the resort gives you first dibs on restaurant reservations, which can be hard to get sometimes when the resort is really busy.
