The Cove- Great for Adults

Visiting the Cove was a wonderful experience. It’s perfect for adults! The Atlantis offers many family resorts but the Cove Truly caters to adults. The property is absolutely beautiful. The Cove offers adults a little peace and quiet but still within walking distance to other family style activities. The properties water features are just unreal. Atlantis truly offers a "vacation" with the lazy river- this is an activity for all ages and one that you won’t want to leave. Super relaxing and fun! The Seal encounter was fabulous. Don’t miss this activity! Up Front and Personal is what the Seal Encounter is all about. The only concern - is that maintenance on room carpet needed attention. Hopefully the rooms carpet was replaced after we left. No one enjoys spending vacation in a room with stained carpets. Overall - it’s a gotta do experience!

Save your money - Meals will be pricey!

Atlantis Dreamworld

The Cove was amazing. The rooms were great, especially the view. The bathrooms were very impressive, haha. The Atlantis vacation was a dream and I can’t wait to go back. I recommend this place to everyone.

Beautiful

The good: This resort is extremely beautiful. Our room had a partial ocean view and a partial view of the pool both views spectacular!! Beautiful beaches, walking on the beaches felt so peaceful. Eventhough my husband and I did not do any of the water rides, there were always something to do. The bad: everything is so expensive!!!!. And how is this posible that the fitness gym was not free! if it is part of the resort! the charge you $15 for a day pass. My husband just wanted to be able to exercise for an hour a day. Then he would have had to pay every day! Also I think the should play more caribbean music, to make guests feel the real caribean experience, instead of just playing only playing the music of tv show nip/tuck.

Bring some snacks and bottle of water in you luggage if you can.

can’t wait to go back

The Coves were beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was hugh with 2 sinks,large tub and shower. Food was very expensive. Very expensive is like $160 for 1 appetizer and 2 entrees. No drinks included. The food was very good except at the Starfire grill...Mosaic,Mesa grill, Murray’s deli were all excellent.

The Best One Yet

Very friendly and helpful staff, super clean and oversized room. Worth every penny we spent. Will be going back for sure!

Bring water shoes for everyone. Sandals are good but you have to constantly take them off to enjoy the rides. With water shoes you don’t have to worry about that. Plus we saw quite a few people fall due to the ground being wet and slippery while walking to and from the rides, so water shoes eliminates a potential disaster.

Quiet elegance in the mists of Atlantis

The Cove was such a wonderful place to stay . I only wish it had more places to eat so we wouldn’t have had to venture into the Atlantis masses as often.

Good but not for romantic getaways

Pricy but a great place to take your family - young and old. But if you want to spend some quite romantic time with your mate, I wouldn’t recommend it: there is too much activity going on and way too many people everywhere: though, The Cove was quieter than the other Atlantis hotels (Royal...etc.)The hotel is also seriously understaffed so there is an 80% chance that your call to the reception will not be answered. The management team is courteous though. Trip date - May 2009

Traveler's tip

The picture on their site with a white bathtub near the window is only for their Executive room (most expensive) room price I am not allowed to quote because of Expedia’s rule. We paid a lot thinking we were getting that room, but we didn’t.

Beautiful Hotel and Beach and Amazing Complex

The Cove is a luxury hotel, large rooms and a private pool(just for The Cove residents)so cool with the best DJ ever!!! The food is great and the breakfast is the largest I have ever had with so many options. The Cove hotel is inside The Atlantis complex, that is REALLY BIG. The Atlantis Complex is the best, with lots of differents pools, aquarium, fish tanks, restaurants. It s really huge and I stayed for 4 days and I didn t see everything. I Loved to stay at The Cove. The largest hotel I have ever stayed by far with a beautiful total blue ocean.

Traveler's tip on recreational activities

Nobu restaurant Café Martinique restaurant Arrive early at The Cove pool to get a perfect nice spot.

Perfect luxury honeymoon

The Cove is the place to stay for couples who want to relax in luxury. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The entire grounds are beautifully landscaped. The room was clean and we had a great view. The food was expensive but fantastic! We purchased the Cove Gourmet Dining plan before we arrived. I highly recommend Casa D’Angelo, Mesa Grill and Seafire Steakhouse. The buffets are wonderful too--go to Mosaic, Water’s Edge and Marketplace. The beach is well maintained and at the Cove--practically had the beach to ourselves Mon-Thurs. So many slides and pools to choose from--we ran out of time to do everything. The Dig and Predator Tunnel are such an experience--we walked through them each day. We also did the cliche "walk on the beach under the moon"--totally romantic. The most romantic, relaxing, gorgeous, friendly, vacation we’ve ever had.

Traveler's tip on dining

Purchase a meal plan and make reservations before you arrive if you wish to eat 5-star. Saw families turned away because restaurants were at capacity.

Simply Perfect!

This hotel is a must for anyone looking for the perfect Bahamian vacation. Great atmosphere whether you are looking for pure relaxation or a great party. Service at the Cove was top rate, especially in comparison to the other properties associated with the Atlantis

Traveler's tip on dining

Poolside dining is quite expensive. Take a walk away from the Cain pool for a better and less expensive lunch

Beautiful - a true Resort Experience

Wonderful experience at this Bahamas resort. The staff was wonderful - helpful but not overbearing. The grounds are truly incredible. We especially enjoyed the many and varied pools and beaches. One word of warning: food prices are astronomical, so be prepared. Example: a room service hamburger at the Cove was about $26. Delicious but definitely pricey. Do try different restaurants, as every one we went too had excellent food.

Traveler's tip

If you are looking for real luxury and expect only the best, be sure to stay at the Cove tower - it will more than meet your expectations. If you like very nice accomodations but don’t want to pay top dollar - stay at the Royal towers. Only stay at the Coral or Beach if you are not worried about top of the line rooms but still want to enjoy the resort setting.

Wonderful hotel, but not for family

The Cove is a very modern, nice hotel. It is quite a walk to most of the Atlantis activities. The restaurants are very expensive. I did find the staff to be professtional and attentive. I might go back to this hotel, but not with children.

Traveler's tip on recreational activities

Our family did an off site snorkeling excursion and that was great. I would highly recommend Stuart’s Cove.

Great Time at The Cove

Fantastic room - clean, modern with every convenience, fab view and excellent service. We were 4 adults and had a great time. The guys did the deep water dolphin swim and had a ball. We all did the shark walk and it was a trip. We are over 30 but thorougly enjoyed the slides and the lazy river. Great meal at Casa d’ Angelo and wait staff excellent. The Mosaic buffet was very good as well. Lunches and drinks were expensive but that is to be expected. Went parasailing and enjoyed the beach very much. Won at casino which was nice but sorely needs a poker room! Aura club was packed with a good dance vibe. We are planning to return next year since we all had a great time. Much to do and see, beautiful grounds to walk day and night. Highly recommend.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Adults don’t overlook the slides and lazy river. You’ll have a blast and laugh all day....

Over the Top.

Very Clean and nice hotel and pool. Food and Drinks very expensive.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

Sign up for meal plan before you arrive. Even if you choose not to use 1 night @ their restraunts it is still worth it.

Would definitely go back.

The hotel and complex was wonderful. A variety of pools and water attractions and many other things to do. Extremely well maintained and luxurious. The spa was wonderful! The only drawback was the cost of food and especially drinks poolside. We complemented dining on site with eating in town to combat the cost.

Traveler's tip on dining

We ate in town at Poopdeck which had outstanding food for good value and the restaurant was right on the water.
