That makes sense.Oh dear!!! No no no. I did not mean to type Cove. Haha. I meant Coral Towers.
I WISH I was leaning towards to Cove!
We may actually end up the Beach Tower!!
Just returned from Atlantis. Loved every minute!!! We hope to go back again in the future.
As far as food expense goes, we really didn't find it any worse than Disney. We ate grab and go from the lounge in our hotel every morning. We had lunch at the various poolside cafes in the afternoon and a nice dinner every night. Doing this kept us well within our budget.
Dinners included Johnny Rockets, Carmine's, Murray's and our big splurge Seafire Steakhouse. Of those, Carmine's was our favorite.
We kept our gambling and other spending to a minimum and really just enjoyed the grounds and all the free activities throughout the day.
Our teen really loved Crush, the teen lounge open in the evenings. He can't wait to go back! There is so much to see and do, we definitely will return for another visit.
I'm not sure you can book Dolphin Cay online anymore. I tried several times in the past month and wasn't successful. Atlantis' website changed a bit in the past few months, and the ability to book Dolphin Cay seems to have gone away.My question is in regards to booking excursions. We want to do the dolphins and sea lions and possibly stingrays. I can't on the website find out where to access my reservation and to book anything.
Taxi, unless you're alone.What is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel and back. Taxi, rental car. Do the hotels have any shuttles?
I haven't been there at that time, but I'd assume that crowds will be a little larger than January. Atlantis gets fuller any period when kids are out of school.Bumping this thread with a new question for GrnMtnMan... we are heading back to Atlantis this summer, early June. How will the crowds be compared to our last trip taken during winter break in the first week of January 2013?
I don't think there's a 1-800 number to the resort. You could try the dining line (1-888-526-0386) which seems to get to on-site dining reservation agents - maybe they'll transfer you if you play dumb. Otherwise the resort is an international call (242-363-3000)Thanks very much for your response. It great to have someone on the Dis with such in-depth knowledge of Atlantis! One other question... by any chance do you have a 1-800 number that could get me straight to the front desk or guest services at the resort? I just had a very heated discussion with a call center rep located in Florida about a big mistake on our reservation. It escalated to management and is apparently fixed, but I'd like to speak directly with the hotel to be certain before we leave. Thanks!
We think alike. I did call the dining line with the dumb act but it didn't work. They wouldn't transfer me. I'm having issues with our booking this time around, very different than two years ago. We were ready to cancel altogether when they offered an "exception" to something that shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. I'm feeling a little "off" about this trip right now. I would feel better if I could speak to a manger on property.I don't think ther's a 1-800 number to the resort.

I think that means you'll be on the side facing Nassau, instead of toward the ocean. The unit I usually stay in at Harborside faces toward the harbor, and while its not a wide expanse of ocean view, it is an interesting one. There's lots of type of ships coming and going, and its fun to wake up and see the enormous cruise ships in port.I have another question for you. This trip we are booked into a "deluxe harbor view" in the royal towers. Last trip we had a water view. Is this going to be a real let down after the amazing view we had last time? Or is the harbor view nice as well?
The difference in price between the two was $1000 for the week!!! Insane!
Ok that makes sense. I wasn't sure about the difference between Harbor and Terrace. When I called to inquire about an upgrade the lady on the other end actually said the harbor view was her favorite because you see Nassau lit up at night.I think that means you'll be on the side facing Nassau, instead of toward the ocean.

It's still a view you don't wake up to everyday...and its not terrace view, which means lower floors, so you should be able to see lots of interesting stuff.
I saw this on Atlantis' website to describe "Deluxe Harbor View":Ok that makes sense. I wasn't sure about the difference between Harbor and Terrace.

I hope this view has a balcony, even a small one. I get very claustrophobic with out one.
