Atlantis is a cool place. Possibly the highlight of Nassau. Now, we don't have kids, so, the waterparks are not the most interesting for us. But they are nice. It is definitely a don't miss on visiting the island. Now I've written the following up before and save it for just when there's someone wanting to learn a bit about the place. It's more just about doing a day visit over, but it will at least help answer your questions:
Paste:
It is a gorgeous resort, you have four options:
1) The Disney excursion.
2) Get a room at the resort, and use all the amentities, 2 options: reserve a room, or try to get over and get a 'day room', limited in availability, first come, first served, and a good bit cheaper.
3) Get a room at Comfort suites, which is considerably cheaper, and allows up to 4 per room full access to everything at Atlantis.
4) If you really don't want to use the water amenities, you can very easily do it yourself. To do so, just follow these steps:
- Leave the ship and go to the end of the dock.
- Take one of the numerous taxis for (right now, price partially depends on a bridge toll) $5 per person to Atlantis, much more pleasant than the overcrowded water taxi.
- Walk to the center of the casino upon arrival, to the kiosk with the blue globe(Temple of the Moon).
- Buy a wristband for $25 each for access to all the resort except the water recreation(you can still walk out to the beach, just not on it).
- Walk the Dig at your own pace. It's long, at least a mile or more, but it is exceptional. And you basically walk about 2/3 of the property in doing so, they give you a map. You can go where you wish, at your own pace.
- Whenever you're done, just go back to where you were dropped off for another taxi ride back to the ship.
We did this and still got back in time for a late lunch shipboard. But you can indulge yourself of the restaurants at Atlantis, but they are a bit pricey. Any questions? Feel free to ask!
