Picolo recommends · Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas
The Reef at Atlantis
Cereal in your own kitchenette, a pool by the sand downstairs, and the slides of Atlantis waiting at the far end of the resort.
Breakfast is on your own terms here: coffee from the kitchen, toast on the balcony and nobody waiting for a table. The Reef stands at the quieter end of Atlantis, and its studios and suites come with a full kitchen or a kitchenette.
Downstairs is a pool of its own beside the beach, and the rest of Atlantis is open to you, from the water park to the aquariums. The rooms are roomier than in the other towers, which matters when the whole family is sharing.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Reef at Atlantis
Eating at Atlantis is expensive, and a kitchen changes the sums for a family on a long stay. Add more space and a calmer pool, and The Reef is the smart way to do Atlantis without paying for every meal.
You trade convenience for calm. The casino and most restaurants are a fair stroll away, which gets old with tired children at night. If you want everything at the door, The Royal is closer to the action.
