We had the best time at the Atlantis in the Bahamas! Our last couple of trips have been nonstop go go go, so it was nice to have a relaxing, low key, no pending plans trip.
It started with a red eye flight Monday night. Luckily, with all my work travel, I've been trained on sleeping in economy.
We had a 4 hour flight to Charlotte for our layover. So I packed my jacket, ear plugs, sleeping mask, some trusty meds and slept the whole entire flight, it was thee best.
We arrived before my parents to the Atlantis and upon check in were informed that they upgraded us to their swanky hotel The Reef. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. The Reef rooms were triple the cost of what had originally been booked. Apparently, when the Atlantis has available rooms, they upgrade people so they can go home and talk about their experience. Pretty good marketing!
We stayed on the 16th floor with the prettiest balcony views!
We were all starving and once my parents arrived, we booked it to dinner. After dinner my dad showed us around the property.
The Atlantis has about 5 hotels on the property, a water park, tons of aquariums, restaurants, shopping and a casino. It's so big they have shuttle vans taking you from place to place.
My dad had been looking forward to dining at a yummy buffet at the Atlantis for a while. We went there twice over the week. The best part was the dessert... a Lindt chocolate fountain. But cute Aaron isn't keen on dessert like the rest of my family and had steak for dessert. Weirdo... haha
The weather was perfect the entire trip... sunny and warm with lows in the mid 70s at night. Glad we missed the snow in Utah!
