The Reef at Atlantis

The 1-bedroom Topaz Suite at The Reef was well appointed and appeared clean. The view was amazing. Great amenities. Expanded deck was wonderful. We did, unfortunately, encounter roaches within the first hour of entering the suite - opened the cabinet holding glasses and a live one fell out. We were headed out to buy supplies and snacks anyway, so bought a can of roach spray. Ended up significantly spraying down the kitchen multiple days - basically used the whole can over a 4 night stay. Each morning after a spray we would find 2 - 4 dead roaches. Found one in the primary bathroom's toilet room and sprayed it and area - didn't see anymore in there. Be sure to scour the entire room / suite prior to unpacking and settling in so that you can easily change rooms, if needed. Beach, pool, waterslides, Fish restaurant, Perch restaurant for breakfast, Sea Glass Lounge for after hours cocktails, FISH for delicious lunch!!, were all exceptional -- even though everything was much pricier than the US - which we were warned about, but still hit a little hard. Would still go back and would just be mindful about how to check for unwanted additional guests in the rooms.

Place was over priced for what we spent. Staff needs work. Cooks need work. I would Prob not go back. Never got upgraded. Very dissapinted,

This was our first time in the Bahamas and at Atlantis. Overall we had a wonderful stay at the resort. The Reef 1-Bedroom Suite was clean, spacious and felt modern. All of our experiences at Restaurants, Water Park, Pools and Transportation were met with friendly and professional staff members. Yes prices are high, but that was to be expected and we felt the value and quality of the food was better than we had expected. We would certainly return in the future for another vacation!

The Reef at Atlantis is worth the price. Had the whole family there, kids, spouses, and grandkids, for five nights. There truly is something for everyone. We all had one bedroom suites. The suites are very large. They include a king-sized bed in one room, a pullout queen bed in the other, and a comfortable blowup mattress. The suites have two full bathrooms with a double vanity in the on suite. The property is close to a great beach and multiple pools. The water park is a short walk away. We went in mid August and were told that it was a slower time of year for the resort. Highly recommend avoid going during peak travel. The crowds were large but not overly so in August. The Reef is a great option for families. There is a kitchenette with all of the requisite utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Recommend a stop at the grocery store en route to the hotel to pick up breakfast and other meals you intend to cool there. There is no restaurant in the Reef. The closest restaurant is the Amber in The Coral which is the adjacent hotel. Most of the family dining options are on the opposite side of the property. Shuttles run very frequently, so there is no problem getting to a family friendly restaurant. We had 13 people in our party, so we made reservations a month in advance. Highly recommend downloading the Atlantis app and make dinner reservations, especially if you are traveling with the family. Restaurants we dined at Claudios, Chop Stix, and Bimini Road. All three were excellent.

Atlantis was a great overall experience. The hotel cleanliness, amenities, restaurants, pools, beaches, and Aquaventure were awesome. I wish we could've stayed longer. I look forward to coming back.
