Wahh wahhh I got a free room and the coffee machine needed to be replaced. Wah, the rocks were chipped lol. Get real. Maybe if guests didn’t treat the place like hell it wouldn’t need to be repaired constantly. Or to mention it’s size. I go every year and I have a blast. I stay at harborside so clearly I’m ok with modest accommodations. Staying in the hotel is crap anyway.Atlantis Bahamas Review: Our Disastrous Stay & Why You Should Avoid It!
Our full Atlantis Bahamas review including the crumbling grounds, rude staff, terrible managers and why you should avoid staying there at all costs!
Correct, the units are absolutely not comparable to other VSN. But it gets the job done for me. I spend my days making breakfast, watching yachts, gym then beach. The customer service for me is excellent, since I know all the employees lol. Yes, the hotel portion has declined ever since kerzner lost it/ walked away. It’s def seen better days. It’s a 20+ year old resort that has been ravaged by cruise day guests and people with no regard for others property. I honestly would never stay in the hotel at the Atlantis. I feel terrible for those scoffing down Starbucks breakfast muffins knowing I’ll be back in my room making French toast with bananas foster with coconut rum lol. I love the Atlantis, just not the hotel. If I lived on the west coast I’d be in Hawaii all the time. Unfortunately, it’s a 12 hour flight for me
Here's why one review matters. I went to Japan over the summer and stayed at a hotel in Kyoto that for the most part had RAVE reviews on TripAdvisor. People just fawning over this place. I absolutely HATED this hotel after I arrived and honestly could not wait to check out. While I was in Kyoto, I went back to Trip Advisor and filtered on the few low-rated reviews of this hotel. If I had read these minority reviews more closely I would have realized this hotel was not a good "fit" for me. These low reviews all spoke to a "vibe" that the glowing reviewers loved but the minority (like me) found to be unpleasant. This was a huge wake-up call to me when reading reviews. If the negative reviews "speak to you" in a way where you think "yeah that would bug me , too" -- then it's a clue to move on and find a different place.
See, we agree. One review does not matter. With all of the people with different tastes and with all the trolls out there, you have to do some homework. You went back and looked at the low ratings, that is what we tend to do on Amazon etc as well. A good practice in today’s online world.
I always filter to the lower reviews, i tend to give credit to 2-3-4 star reviews as they are more genuine and honest. 1 star reviews are usually just irate people and 5 are just on some high that I don’t trust. With that being said, I’ve never had an issue there. Yes there are times people trash the place and they try to keep up with it, also no doubt that Bahamar took a lot of the young money crowd away from the Atlantis and the cove. It’s a shame but Atlantis is starting to feel the effects. Bahamar will feel it in 20 years as well.
Agree. My issue is how he dealt w/ employees. I have been to multiple Caribbean Islands and # 1 complaint is how entitled many First Worlders are, especially Americans.. And unfortunately the authors tone places him promptly in that group of First Worlders who are hard to please nor satisfied.

Nah, not defensive. The harborside is fine, it’s modest accommodations for a great beach vacation. I would never want to stay in the hotel portion of the Atlantis so tbh I can see why he would give a scathing review. Staying in a hotel o a beach vacation is crap. For me anyway. Rentals at that place have already tanked but it’s still a great place to rent. The grounds have gone down but not to the level of complete garbage.
I can speak for myself and when I go I get exceptional service, maybe because I know Go a lot and staff know me. But I can say with people on the island, it’s their culture to give exceptional service to those who are respectful. I’ve seen some of the staff take abuse and still have a smile. The overall consensus from some of the employees there is the clientele has changed. I even see it, the guests are demanding and rude. I’d expect them to be even worse. I’ve been to other islands and received far much worse customer service than I’ve ever received in the Bahamas in general.
