Three inner-tube slides — The Drop, The Falls, and The Surge — utilize jets of water to create waves to propel riders. The Jungle Slide is even more easy-going; it meanders through a jungle-like landscape and caves at a mellow pace. Expect wave surges, drops up to seven feet, and white water rapids on this river ride.
The whole family can chill out on the The Lazy River together. Floaters kick back on a tranquil quarter-mile loop.

Popular with multigenerational groups, The Coral at Atlantis boasts newly designed rooms along with a new pool and cabanas. Many rooms offer harbor views. Similar to The Coral, this tower is a favorite among traveling families.
For the amenities of home and more space to spread out, book a studio, 1-, 2- or 3-bedroom suite in The Reef. Every room in this tower comes with a kitchenette or full kitchen, great for families who want to eat breakfast or other meals in during vacation. Parents traveling with babies and toddlers might be happiest here, for easy snack and meal-prep.
Families can splash instead at Cascades Pool, which is shared with The Reef. This all-suite tower went through a relaunch in If ultimate luxury is what you want, the more secluded The Cove is where you belong.

For an amazing experience your children will always remember, be sure to book an animal experience. Dolphin Cay opened at Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in as a safe haven for 17 stranded dolphins whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Today, Atlantis guests can pay a fee to interact with such marine animals ranging from dolphins and sea lions at Dolphin Cay to sharks and rays in various lagoons around the property.
Carmine's Italian , Frankie Gone Bananas local seafood , and Seagrapes casual buffet are good options, and we also loved Chop Stix Chinese, with a kids menu for a special night out. These restaurants often book up weeks in advance, so do yourself a favor and make reservations a few weeks up to 90 days before your trip.
Want something more quick and casual? Ordering a pie from Marina Pizzeria and bringing it back to the room is a great choice after a tiring day. Speaking of food Order a grocery delivery or visit a market off-site to cut food costs.
Atlantis is not an all-inclusive resort; in fact, unless you order a meal plan which may feel restrictive , everything down to morning coffee from the hotel lobby costs a pretty penny. We had breakfast and lunch staples delivered on our arrival day from Instagopher , and then splurged on fun meals out in the evening. If you do want to go the "cooking at home" route, stay at The Reef which has en-suite kitchens, or another lodging spot with kitchenettes.
Go to the water park early or late. The water slides are really the calling card of Atlantis, and lines for the most popular slides for kids 48 inches or taller start building up by late morning when day-trippers arrive. If you have a chance, hit the park when it opens at 10am or just before it closes in late afternoon. If you have brave and tall kids, consider trying the Leap of Faith a near vertical drop into an enclosed acrylic tube surrounded by sharks , but for most elementary schoolers, the Serpent Slide and Jungle Slide are faves that offer plenty of thrills.
Our whole family had a great time floating along the Rapids River, which carries tubers along with gentle waves and never gets too crowded to enter. Little ones don't have to worry about lines at Splashers, the splashy playground situated in shallow water. It will cost you, but the dolphin encounter was my kids' favorite activity. Photo by Mommy Poppins. Try to budget for one Dolphin Cay experience.
Atlantis offers many marine encounters at an added cost, including opportunities to splash around with sea lions and stingrays, but it's the dolphin experiences they're famous for—and for good reason. My husband and boys did "Swim in Wonder," an hour-long encounter for kids ages 6 and older that included many chances to pet and even ride a team of friendly dolphins. Younger children will enjoy "Dip 'N Discover" experience, which involves playing with the dolphins in waist-high water and is free for kids 3 and under.
These activities aren't cheap, especially when adding on a professional photo purchase; we ended up spending several hundred dollars on the whole experience.
Choose the right accommodations. Beach Tower and Coral Towers, the two original properties, are value-based, and accommodations are clean and comfortable but can show some wear around the edges. Royal Towers and The Reef are newer and more upscale. We can help! Our Family Travel Advisors will work with you one on one to book accommodations, recommend activities and more.
The bright, contemporary lobby is a knockout, and the staff were the friendliest we encountered during our entire stay. Guestrooms are clean and pleasant, if not exceptionally stylish. Best of all, the property has a peaceful, relaxed feel — a welcome contrast to the high energy of the resort overall. Accommodations at The Reef range from king studios to one- and two-bedroom suites and penthouses. Studios and suites include queen sleeper sofas; studios feature kitchenettes with a small refrigerator, a microwave, a cooktop and a breakfast table.
Suites and penthouses have full kitchens. Our studio felt spacious and airy, with a slim panel between the bed and sleeper sofa for a touch of privacy, and the bathroom was huge.
The best feature was the balcony overlooking the harbor — we loved watching the ships drift in as we sipped juice and coffee in the mornings. Get oriented first thing. Atlantis is big with a capital B and I and G. Although complimentary shuttle service runs on a continuous loop throughout the resort, even navigating within a single section can be tricky.
As you explore, take time to appreciate the beauty of the grounds and the incredible attention to detail. Landscaping is lush yet well manicured, and at every turn is an eye-catching water feature or an aquatic habitat with creatures such as stingrays and sea turtles.
From end to end, the entire place feels truly extravagant. Have a waterpark strategy. Aquaventure, the famous Atlantis waterpark, is the reason many families come here. Know too that thunderstorms pop up frequently in this region and when they do, the slides shut down temporarily — i.
And bring a good pair of water shoes; the slides are scattered around the park, and the paved paths between them are searing hot. My feet and I learned this the hard way. Less adventurous families might prefer The Current, a mile-long river that snakes around the waterpark, with swells and rapids along the way. Discover the haute couture shops of the Crystal Court.
