The Royal Towers at Atlantis | Hotel Review

The Atlantis Resort! What I consider to be The Walt Disney World of The Bahamas and the ultimate playground for people of all ages. The resort features the world’s largest open-air marine habitat; Aquaventure, a 141-acre water park, including the iconic Mayan Temple’s Leap of Faith slide; 11 incredible pools; five miles of magnificent beaches; a Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole, oceanfront golf course; and a world-class casino.

The construction and theme was inspired by the mysterious lost city of Atlantis and the legend surrounding it. There are six distinct properties with its own unique character and with more than 3,800 guest rooms aimed at appealing to nearly every type of traveler and budget – The Royal Towers, The Beach, Harbor Side Resort, Coral Towers, The Cove and The Reef. 

The Rooms at The Royal Towers

I chose to stay at the iconic Royal Towers which soar over the sugar white sands of Paradise island with its twin flamingo-pink towers, connected by a bridge near the top. It’s the central hub for accessing all of the resorts fun and exciting highlights. Staying here helps bring the walking down to a minimum and it makes catching the resort shuttle a breeze. You will have an easier time accessing Aquaventure and the marine exhibits/habitats, Dolphin Cay, Atlantis Casino, the Mandara Spa, the Dig & Ruins Lagoon, fitness center, restaurants, and other attractions that form the centerpiece of the Atlantis experience.

The rooms in the Royal Towers are much larger compared to the rooms at The Beach and Coral Towers. I stood in the Regal suite which provided sweeping views of the Caribbean, harbor, and marina. Amenities include a large master bedroom with a king size bed and two walk-in closets, plush chair, air conditioning, flat-screen HD TV with cable programming, ipod dock, minibar, coffeemaker, and 24-hour room service. Every Regal suite features a full or french off-bedroom balcony that opens to harbor or ocean views and a large parlor that provides a living area where vacationers can sit back and relax in the suite’s luxurious surroundings.

Activities

Taking a stroll along the shore was something I would do every morning. It was such a therapeutic way to start the day and enjoy the beach without having to deal with hoards of crowds. 😉

Some other really great activities that I enjoyed besides the Aquaventure waterpark and marine exhibits was their movie theatre, library, and spa. They also have a rock-climbing area, pottery studio, tennis court, and fitness center. Throughout the year Atlantis hosts a variety of scheduled live performances for their concert series from top music performers such as Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, and many more! It’s a win-win if you plan your getaway to coincide with a concert. How awesome would it be to see your favorite artist while being on vacation in the bahamas!?
