Tourists BEWARE - Atlantis will try to take advantage of you. The day we arrived at port there were 4 total cruise ships at port due to some rerouting because of hurricane Beryl.

I recommend if you’re staying at the hotel but if you’re planning on just going there for the aquarium, don’t waste your...
Read moreWhile on holiday, our toddler loved going to The Dig at Atlantis day and night. Always something different to see. While night made the deeper shadows harder to see anything, it added depth to the experience. The marine habitat showed an effort in protecting wildlife and educating guests on how our world affects our seas.
More signage would have helped the navigation of the landscape. More information about the sea life being displayed and how the work being done is having a positive effect on those released would have been a great educational tool.
We went every day to see the animals and my kid had his...
