Atlantis Family Waterpark Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is old, at 44yrs i recall it shiny and new as a kid, but it was great for what I booked. Except they didnt except my paid deposit thru hotels.com but I ended up with the hot tub suite and not the regular suite so I think there was a language barrier, and only increased the rate 100 for the 3nts. We ended up using the in room hot tub a couple times (after beating ourselves up at my.olympus wave pool and land of natura both must-dos btw!) because after using the outdoor one we found it quite dirty. 12yr old son loved the outdoor pool/slide warmer than 1st floor indoor one, on-site pools are truly geared for little kiddos <10 upstairs indoor pool is typical size/depth/had a huge kids party going when we arrived. Probably a fun cheap place for locals to frequent?? The teens loved all there was to walk too, entertainment food and some even hiked to Mt Olympus from there. The staff never changed the towels or anything even with 3nts booked thankfully I brought 5 with of my own. We were 3rd floor so the balcony was great for drying items. the beds were comfy n clean and the door separating the two rooms with individual climate control was appreciated. Overall good value for the price stayed 6.28-7.1 pd $457 total for the 2bedroom (1king/ 2 queen /hottub suite) the 50 deposit they returned as promised there wasn't any continental brkfst options (small pay pantry downstairs) but the fridge/micro area is sufficient for a grocery run!"

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice and clean. The staff I encountered were very friendly! Went to the pool at night and both of the hot tibs were nice and so was the pool. The pool said it opened at 7am for adults, but wasn't letting anyone in though. Over all stay was very nice!"
