The Cove is certainly a 5 star hotel. The room we had was outstanding - 2 plasma TV's - detailed woodwork; 5-star bedding; bathroom had everything you can imagine. They have also managed to upgrade the service well beyond what you expect from the Bahamas. The adult pool was amazing / great perk of this hotel!

But...........bring your wallet! Drinks at the pool - $11-$18. Lunch for 2 at the pool - $65. Also, it's quite a walk to the slides and casino. There is a shuttle every 15 mins, however. All that said, I would stay there again in a minute.

Finally, if you are going with kids, I would suggest the Royal Towers, as they are closer to the aquariums, and not sure that you want to spend 675/night and not be able to use the audult pool.

Enjoy!

I think this is a great hotel with alot of activities - especially for children. But it is way overpriced! You think you pay alot for a room, but the food and drinks were outrageous! $7 for an ice cream bar by the pool. $12 for a hot dog. Breakfast buffet for 2 in the Cove - $100. Drinks $18 each. And paying that much i would think superb service and great food. Average on both spectrums. Not worth the price.

I thought the hotel had alot of great features and alot of great exhibits to look at, but the prices just turned me off. And the main pool areas had so many chairs lined up back to back, you coulpdn't even walk through them. Thank goodness for the adult pool - but get there early. Chairs there fill up fast!

Anyway, I wouldn't go back here again at those prices. i would rather hit a high end all inclusive in Cancun any day!

We have been to the Atlantis and stayed at the Beach Tower twice. We decided to splurge this time and stay at The Cove. We were soooo happy we did!! Our room over looked the entire property, which is a BIG plus for me! I am an early bird and loved making coffee (Starbucks) each morning and just gazed out at the awesome surroundings! The Mosaic was phenomenal for breakfast and dinner. Mesa Grill was fabulous! Casa D'Angelo was superb!
Days were spent by the Cove Beach where it is serene and you can float your cares away!! Afternoons we ventured to "The Current" and had a blast!!
The entire staff was excellent and really made our stay memorable! Our daughter actually starting to cry the night before we left because she was having such an amazing time and didn't want it to end. We will definitely be back, no question about it!
This is truly PARADISE!!

Yes - the cove is expensive, but didn't you know that when you booked it??

I went with two friends for a little R&R, which was easy to find, as was the fun and excitement.

I applaud the architects of this amazing complex. There is so much attention to detail it is astounding.

Drinks are $18.00 apiece. Bring a bottle of what ever you drink with you - save yourself $120 per day at the pool. Then blow it in the casino. Whatever your pleasure the Atlantis complex can accommodate you!

If spending money annoys you, then stay home, the Cove/Atlantis is not for you!
