- see profile of Atlantis Resort for Families
Generally, two kids 11 and under can stay free with their parents; kids 12 and over pay an "additional person charge" of $45 per night. (Check for updates.) Atlantis is not an all-inclusive resort, but does offer a meal plan.
Atlantis - Seasonal Specials
The Atlantis generally has a package rate available for short getaways of 4 days/3 nights for stays in the Beach Tower. Prices for such packages vary greatly with the time of year: the same package might cost $199 in pre-Christmas December, and more than double that in January. So be ready to grab a good deal!
Beach Tower is the lowest-priced at the resort, rated at the Atlantis site as "$" while the Coral Towers get $-$$ and the Royal Towers rate $$-$$$; The Cove Atlantis is in the luxury class.
Atlantis - Fall Escape
This package is based on a Sun. or Mon arrival, for travel 8/28/08-10/29/08; price starts at $299 for Beach Tower (per person, double occupancy; add up to $136pp for mandatory taxes, gratuities, & service charges.) Book by 9/03/08. Similar packages at the Royal Towers start at $429; The Reef, $499, The Cove, $629.
Dining Plans
Dining plans include breakfast and dinner at select restaurants depending on the plan; price starts as low as $49/night ("Casual Dining Plan"), and kids 6 and under eat free.
Atlantis - December Offer
This deal is long OVER but I'm leaving a mention just as an alert about how prices can dip and rise. If you'd booked a 3-night package for travel through 12/20/07 in the Beach Tower Terrace, rates started at $129! (Plus mandatory taxes, grats., & service charges.)
Atlantis Family Package
