Beg to differ....Snake
We went a year ago in November and was the worst trip I have ever taken.
Sounds like sour grapes, I know, I know, however, my wife and I have traveled alot and have enough experiences, both good and bad to know right from wrong, and both the Atlantis and Sandals are over hyped and quite frankly a JOKE!
Promises were made that never came through, upon trying to resolve several issues, we were treated rudely by the manager on duty(Atlantis), he allowed us to stand at the registration desk for a half an hour just watching us, it was almost funny!:
We were promised a honeymoon suite, what we got was a ground level room just outside the maintenance area for the pool(smelled like rotting fish) with two twin beds!! LOL.
We thought of just canceling there and going right over to Sandals, on the way up the elevator, the couple getting off the elevator were complaing about Sandals, a conversation ensued, we had drinks with them, and they confirmed what we were to later find out.
Sandals was filthy. the food was marginal. They were out of Pina Colada mix for a week! C'mon this is supposed to be the best of all inclusive out there. All but one meal was either bland, "out of this or that", over/under cooked, or just plain sucked. It seriously became a joke around the place when talking with the other vacationers.
The problem we were told by islanders in the know, is that, since they changed over to the tip is included in whatever you purchase, that the waitstaff and service people dont give a rats ass if your requests are taken care of.
Give me the good ol US or a cruise ship or Mexico or etc. they all beat the Bahamas in my book.
I sincerely hope your experiences are different, toast, but I will tell you this, before you give them your credit card, go check out your room, go have a cocktail at a couple of the bars, and scope the place out. Good Luck on your trip.
