Houseboats in Bahamas

"PROS: great location, beautiful beaches, many restaurants on site, MOST of the staff were friendly, easy to get to the other Atlantis hotels CONS: one beach staff literally took our umbrella from our lounger that we got up early to grab to give to another patron because she complained about not having one (because she came to the beach late) - obviously this would not be a problem if they had enough umbrella loungers! But there were so little of them and half of them were broken; WE WERE LAYING IT IN WHILE HE TOOK IT and ignored our protests. The check out staff was so short when I asked if the large deposit they took during check in was applied to the total balance that we owed during check out; she spoke to us like we were idiots. The spa. If you are renovating then perhaps don’t be open for business because you don’t know this until you show up and it is not in the spa area and you have zero spa amenities; it was like a doctor’s office. The sulfur smell and taste in the water…drinking water, washing & bathing water. "

"Hotel common areas very nice Room is average Bathroom leaky shower Inconsistent replenishment of supplies Bathrooms need an upgrade Good below average "

"Beautiful pool...wonderful staff"

"Very clean and new. Tremendous hotel with a TON of people. Staff was average they moved extremely slow and not super accommodating. Very expensive for average food, pool experience etc"

"Convenient location, walking to city center and restaurants. Beautiful view."

"Beautiful. The Royal was great in that it was closest to the water park. My kids actually enjoyed spending some time at the coral pool and overall I actually enjoyed the vibe there a little more. Staff was always helpful although I was a little surprised at how “grumpy” some of them came off as. We ate at a few places; Carmines, Shake shack, the buffet, Plato’s, Bimini road, and the Deli. We all ended up with stomach issues particularly after carmine’s and Bimini. 1-5 I say food was a 2 at best and costs an arm and a leg. I understand the concept of importing but still the price felt extreme. The mini golf would have been fun but even that was $40 per person! I can’t imagine any justifiable reason for that. All that being said, we had a blast and it was beautiful. We will be back, albeit better equipped and prepared next time. "

"Amazing Stay! Property was clean, workers were extremely polite and informative. Hotel location is great for both beach and restaurant nearby! "

"Nice breakfast to fuel us up for the water park, till lunch time anyway! Very close to the east entrance of Atlantis. Big room, love the partial wall to give a little separation from the sleeper sofa and the other beds. Good pool area, next to the bar area and restaurant. "

"Great stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was fresh with plenty of options. Would definitely stay here again!"
