Don’t Bother – Choose Baha Mar Instead
ncg_in_nyc (New York City, New York) on May 30, 2025
We stayed 3 nights at The Coral at Atlantis Bahamas, mainly for its proximity to Marina Village and the ice cream shop (we’re traveling with a toddler). While the grounds are beautiful and the location is ...family-friendly, the service was truly disappointing—rude, dismissive, and consistently unhelpful. Some examples: • Staff said pink cones didn’t exist—then pulled one out only after we insisted. • Kids Concierge said there were “no kids activities,” then reluctantly acknowledged pools, aquariums, etc. • Restaurant staff didn’t know menus, hours, or even where places were located. • My husband has Marriott Bonvoy status (a supposed Atlantis partner), and they completely ignored any perks. When we asked, staff were vague, rude, and dismissive. The only staff who made a remotely positive impression were the friendly housekeeping team, one kind server at Silan, and a helpful person at the Sundries shop. Everyone else seemed disinterested in guests, and poorly trained. Food is average at best and not worth the price. Staff default to “no” instead of trying to help. It’s just not worth the money or frustration. We’ve had friends and family rave about Baha Mar instead—and next time, that’s where we’ll go.
Not satisfied

The Coral rooms are definitely dated. Need to be updated. The water park is nice, but during spring break a lot of the water slides were closed. Almost half of them. Very disappointing!! Especially w...ith the money you pay. The coral pool is nice. Some restaurant servers were not very pleasant which made the mood not so great.
Great service at a new restaurant

Claudia's opened the last week of May at the Coral in Atlantis. My family and I went to dinner there twice already. We were mainly drawn by the wonderful staff, in particular the waiters Tamal and John Bra...vo. They made sure we wanted for nothing and got exactly what we wanted. We particularly recommend the brisket topped nachos and the sticky ribs as appetizers. They were absolutely delicious. Unfortunately some of the entrees didn't meet with the same elevated taste profile. The pasta was under salted and bland. On the other hand the fried grouper fingers were over-salted. The two flatbed breads that were shared at the table were huge and delicious. I was very disappointed with the Long Island Iced Tea it just made from "Claudia's Special Blend of Liquors"and a few other ingredients. It was disappointing. It didn't have much alcohol and didn't taste like the usual Long Island iced tea. The theme is boating and the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. The entire staff is cheerful and energetic even late into the evening.
Beautiful trip!

Excellent time at Atlantis! They have it all and you never have to leave the restart! Excellent water park, beaches, pools during the day. Delicious dining options and fun nightlife for the evenings. Kayon... is the best at barsol! We can’t wait to come back!
An OK for a one-time vacation

The grounds are beautiful. In general we had a good vacation with friends and family. We had bad experience with the room (at the Coral - had a room facing some sort of service area- very noisy) and we pai...d extra do it as this was the ocean view wing. We did see the ocean in the far left corner, but the service area under really killed the ocean view. I barely got any sleep. After 4 nights of barely getting any sleep I really wanted to go home. The pools and slides were nice. Food/restaurants were ok - expensive, but we knew/expected the pricing. We didn’t have any issues with staff/service (but keep in mind that the service is slow - you’re on island time here - no one is rushing here). Also, I wish there was some shade at the beaches and less water traffic (too many sea-doos) too close to the beach/swimming area.
