TR: Atlantis....Spring Break 2016 - The DVC Boards at MouseOwners.com - the place to talk DVC and Walt Disney World

disney65 · 05-08-2016, 07:54 PM

Last year I planned a trip to Atlantis. Invited 4 other family to join and 3 agreed as 4th one was preparing for oldest kid for college so could not join.

Biggest task was finding owner and villa for our group.

Found 2 owners with points and gave them the task to get 4 one bedroom villas.

Harborside at Atlantis calls studio/smaller one bedroom as 1 bedroom deluxe and 1 bedroom is actually called as one bedroom premium.

Got 2 one bedroom premium and 2 one bedroom deluxe unit for our dates.

Next part air ticket, everybody ended up going separately, with 3 hrs all flight was suppose to land at Nassau airport, except one who always misses flight missed the flight again and reached 11 pm instead of 1 PM.

Day one gone with getting settled in room and then we headed out for dinner in Town.

Taxi charges with union rates in this Island but you can still negotiate, having large group helped us negotiating rates all the time.

Royal tower from Harborside resort. We can see the entrance of Royal Tower from our room. Only water in between the Atlantis and Harborside otherwise you can walk in 1-2 min to Atlantis from Harborside.

Definitely interested in your stay...assuming you rented units in the "condo/timeshare" area not the actual hotel, towers, etc...I've heard many pluses and minuses, so definitely would like to know your thoughts!!!

We have friends who own a TS there. We did an excursion on a cruise there once. It's a nice resort and we thought we'd go back when DS graduated HS but it didn't happen. Looking forward to the rest. Hope you had a great trip! And the boys sure looked happy, they must have had a blast. Your DD is a cutie!
