Atlantis Paradise Island is not an all-inclusive resort. A standard room reservation does not include meals, alcoholic drinks, or most food and beverage purchases. Atlantis also lists daily resort fees of $77 at The Coral and The Royal and $82.50 at The Cove and The Reef, including VAT.
What Is Included With an Atlantis Stay?
| Included or charged separately | What it means |
|---|---|
| Aquaventure water park | Overnight guests receive access to the slides, pools and Rapids River. |
| Marine habitats | Access includes The Dig, Predator Tunnel, marine exhibits and animal feedings. |
| Pools and beaches | Guests can use the resort's pools and beaches, subject to restrictions for areas such as The Cove Pool. |
| Meals | Breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually purchased separately unless a booking includes a dining plan or specific meal offer. |
| Alcoholic drinks | Alcohol is not included with a standard stay or the Aqua Dining Plan. |
| Resort fees and gratuities | These are extra charges and are not part of the advertised room price. |
The daily resort fee covers access to Aquaventure and the marine habitats, along with Wi-Fi, selected fitness facilities, resort activities and shuttle service.
How Much Extra Should You Budget?
The room price is only part of the cost. Atlantis lists mandatory resort fees, gratuities and other taxes or levies. The final amount can vary by hotel, room type and guest age, and Atlantis says these charges can change.
Food is another major expense. Atlantis has restaurants, fast-casual outlets, cafés and bars, and you can charge purchases to your room. A room charge is only a payment method. It does not mean the meal is included.
Can You Add a Dining Plan?
Yes. Atlantis offers optional dining plans, but they do not make the resort fully all-inclusive.
The Atlantis Aqua Dining Plan includes:
- American or continental breakfast each day
- A two-course dinner at participating restaurants
- Selected non-alcoholic beverages with meals
The plan does not include lunch, alcoholic drinks, bottled water, bottled beverages, meals at non-participating restaurants or room service.
Everyone staying in the same room must purchase the same dining plan. Restaurant availability and participating venues can also change.
Atlantis may also offer packages or promotions with breakfast, resort credits or other extras. Check the terms of the specific rate before booking. A breakfast offer or resort credit is not the same as unlimited meals and drinks.
Is Atlantis Worth Booking If You Want an All-Inclusive Vacation?
Book Atlantis if your priority is Aquaventure, marine life, beaches and family activities. Overnight guests receive access to the water park and marine attractions, but meals and drinks remain separate costs.
Choose a true all-inclusive resort if you want one price covering meals, drinks and gratuities. Atlantis is a large entertainment resort with optional dining plans, not a standard all-inclusive Bahamas resort.
