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 - Spring Specials
This package is based on a Sun. or Mon arrival, for travel through 7/1/08; price starts at $299 for Beach Tower (per person, double occupancy; add up to $128pp for mandatory taxes, gratuities, & service charges.) Book by 5/23/08. Similar packages at the Royal Towers start at $399; The Reef, $499, The Cove, $699.

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.

$200 Rebate for Air-inclusive Packages
Rebate is based on qualifying air-inclusive packages of three nights or longer; for bookings made by 5/31/08, for travel 5/11/08 to 11/17/08.

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
This Package is offered from time to time, and builds on a Basic Package, usually with Sunday or Monday arrivals on specific dates, for Beach Tower Terrace or Royal Tower Terrace room types, 4 days/3 nights (with other lengths of stay available.) The Family Package typically adds Modified American Dining Plan daily, and one morning and one afternoon session per child ( 4 to 12) at the Discovery Channel Camp.
