The Reef is amazing. We enjoyed a one bedroom suite - the place was so nice, and the kitchen was great. Not that we want to cook meals while we are vacationing, but the ability to have a refrigerator for drinks and be able to have light breakfast, snacks, glass or wine or a beer, etc. is very nice.

The staff is very nice and helpful. Water park is really fun and the wait times are not bad either. The room we stayed in was beautiful and very clean. Anything we asked the staff for it was handled quickly. Everything you need is on paradise island. You don't have to leave the resort at all. Plus they have 24hr shuttle service to carry you around.

Our group of 10 stayed at the Reef for a week. Every staff member was helpful, polite, and greeted us daily. Loved our 1 bedroom suites with a full kitchen and 2 bathrooms! The sofa bed was fine for the kids but would have been uncomfortable for any adult but we placed the sofa cushions under the thin mattress to create a decent bed for the adult who had to sleep on it. Having the free laundry with many washers and dryers on the 2nd floor is very handy with the families with children. Plenty pool and beach loungers available as well as towels! We particularly liked that the lounge chairs had a shade cover that could be used.However, some were broken and I had to always check to make sure the cover would work before choosing a lounge chair. Food at the pools were good and quick. Staff friendly and helpful. We ate dinners at mid priced and a couple of higher priced restaurants. Food was overpriced and just ok. Carmines gave us the most bang for our $ as it is served family style. We enjoyed both Bimini Road, Seafire, Nobu, and Murray’s Deli. Claudio’s was a huge fail and maybe it was due to having just opened. Food came to the table either cold, at different times (to the point that some family members were done eating!), or not at all! Manager apologized and tried to make it right. Their desserts were good though! We did not come to Atlantis for the food but for the beach, pools, the aquariums, and waterpark. THIS is where Atlantis excels, Everyone had an amazing time from the 4 year old to the 74 year old! The Cascade pool for Cove and Reef guests only was wonderful and not crowded. Paradise Beach is between both and is simply stunning with calm clear water. Snorkeling right off the beach! No vendors and no cruisers! We loved our week in paradise! Can’t wait to return to Atlantis! Read less

Lovely hotel, great amenities but extremely expensive to eat/drink. Would recommend booking a room that has a kitchenette so you have the option to cook if money is tight. However we had a wonderful stay and would come back! P.S. If you like Tequila try the Sip Sip Skinny Marg!!

Staying at The Reef was the best decision we could've made. We stayed in a 2-bedroom Topaz Suite and my GOSH did it deliver! The room was big, amazing, and perfectly set up for us and our family. And the VIEW - holy cow - unmatched. And if you're lucky enough to have Vanessa from the front desk help yourself, consider yourself lucky! Everything about our trip was magical - the room, the beaches, the pools, the cabana (HIGHLY recommend one at the Baths Colonnade pool), the restaurants, and the Ultimate Trainer for a Day program was worth EVERY penny.
