Amazing Atlantis the Palm
The lobby was huge and full of atmosphere, the staff gave us a warm and friendly greeting right away. We booked imperial club which was fantastic value for money and includes lots of little extras that made a big difference to our stay including complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks in the club lounge. We checked into our gorgeous room that was spacious, modern and had an amazing view of the Palm.
As soon as we had unpacked the kids wanted to head straight for the water park which is complimentary for guests staying at the hotel, with water slides, river slides, shark safari and stingray feeds, there is plenty to do for all of the family and it's great to have this all part of the package. You also have access to Dolphin Bay and Sea Lion point where you can have both Dolphin and Sea Lion encounters, some of these activities are at an extra charge.
One of the highlights for me was the amazing lost chambers aquarium, a huge aquarium that's home to 65,000 marine animals. It’s like no other aquarium I've ever been to before, you have to see it believe it.
Food is always an important part of the holiday for me so I wasn't disappointed with huge range of dining options on offer to please both the adults and children. We dined at the Sea Fire steak house and bar, the edge (Italian) the kids loved the burger joint and the buffet at Saffron. For those with a sweet tooth the dessert area is amazing and features any kind of dessert you can think of including a delicious chocolate fountain. Restaurants do get busy so it’s a good idea to pre-book these.
During my stay one of the lovely members of staff took me around to view some of the different room types and I discovered there is such a huge range of rooms on offer for all party sizes and something for any occasion including huge suites that you can even hire for a private party.
What I found so great about Atlantis is that you can make it whatever type of holiday you desire, I saw honeymoon couples who had a relaxing break and enjoyed things like the gorgeous spa and the adults only beach clubs and then there were families with children of all different ages enjoying the pools, kids clubs, water park and aquarium so I really would recommend it to everyone. There is so much to do without even leaving your hotel.
Our stay was on a stopover on the way to Bali. If you’re travelling for a long haul holiday, it’s worth considering a stop over to break up your journey and enhance your holiday experience.
I could talk about this property all day long so if you’re thinking of visiting please feel free to get in touch!
