Beach Tower/Coral Tower Reviews from Tripadvisor:
To those of you considering the Coral Tower, it is almost the same decor (only slightly better) but SO much more convenient. If I were to do this again, I would GLADLY pay a little extra to be that much more centrally located. When you are staying at the Beach Tower, you are constantly going to the Coral Tower for EVERYTHING (check in, guest services, shuttles to outside activities, access to dining, etc).
Hotel – Other writers wrote that they were upgraded to Royal Towers or Coral Towers upon checking into Beach Towers. Unfortunately, we were not upgraded, but Beach Towers was just fine for us and served its intended purpose. I will say though that the Cove and the Reef are AMAZING albeit expensive, but if there were a promotional offer to stay at either, I’d swallow the difference and splurge. Nonetheless, Beach Towers was pleasant and met our needs just fine and at a more affordable price. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped with iron, ironing board, mini-bar, mirrors, plenty of towels, a flat-screen tv, and coffee/tea. The décor does give the rooms a little bit of an outdated flare and a renovation in the next couple of years might spruce up the place some, but overall, they were fine, and more importantly, adequately clean. Worth mentioning is that Beach Towers is one of the hotels on the ‘edge’ of the resort…as remote to one side of the island as the Cove is to the other. Total walking time between the two is about 25 minutes, but walking does everyone good (even during vacation!). If you want to be in the center of it all, book Royal Towers. If you don’t mind a walk through some lobbies, shopping areas, and restaurants, Beach Towers it is. We did not find the distance a problem unlike some other guests who have complained. It’s off to the side, but by no means far away. Couple other items to note – the doors do slam (even for carefully quiet late-nighters) and some one mentioned something about the carpet being grimy and sort of sticky…definitely noticed that. Best to walk around in flip-flops if you can. No problems with water or toilets.
My husband & 6 1/2 month old; traveled to the Bahamas for our first Family Vacation & decided on the Atlantis because it was Child/Baby Friendly. We stayed at the Beach Tower, thinking it would be the easiest with the Baby & closest to the beach, it wasn't, required alot of walking.
The Beach Tower was awesome and when I was there it was as quiet as can be. The beach tower pool is exactly what we were looking for, not crowded and very relaxing.
We stayed at the Beach Towers. Yes this is an older part of the resort, but well maintained all the less. Flat screen TV, individual coffee maker, refrigerator, safe. The room was perfect for us. The people are great, very gracious, eagar to help at all times. The entire resort is just gorgeous.
As far as the room, it was fine, clean, and quiet. We had mentioned that it was our 20th anniversary, and they upgraded us to a beautiful oceanview room on the 8th floor. We couldn't have been happier with that considering we paid for the lowest possible category of room. Great view of the ocean and overlooking the pool at the BT where our nephew could watch stingrays, hammerheads and colorful fish whenever he was out on our terrace.
The walk to the Beach Tower from the Coral Tower is hefty. We received a SUITE on the 9th (top) floor (Rm. 9160) facing the Ocean & the Atlantis grounds as a complimentary upgrade. The decor is outdated and the prints are awful but really, who cares?! You're in the BAHAMAS. The room was clean, the water doesn't taste good but all in all: we were RELIEVED.
As for the walking, again if you do your research, yes the Beach Tower is the farthest away but we wanted that because it was away from the hustle and bustle of all the cruisers which come to visit. The premises are stunning and the architecture was amazing. We really enjoyed walking around the resort. The Dig and marine life were exceptional. We had absolutely no problems with the staff.
The rooms were clean and roomy. The Beach tower room had a view of the roof, the Coral tower room had a view of trees and the pool. I would have imagined the Beach tower overlooked the beach.... Our room was quiet though, which was welcome since the public areas downstairs were so busy and noisy. And we had a great view of the fireworks from our balcony.
Just visited the Atlantis during Spring Break week and stayed in the Beach Tower. This hotel is just fabulous! We reallay lucked out, when we checked into our room we discovered we have a beautiful ocean front room. Wonderful to bring kids, they never get bored with the aquariums and water park area. Beaches and pools are beautiful. The ocean water is so blue and green and crystal clear! The Beach Tower even has a movie theater with free movies at night to entertain the whole family.
We got much more than we expected! We stayed at the Beach Tower, the lowest end hotel and it was still basically a Hilton-caliber hotel room-- great service, very clean and comfortable. Best of all, it was considerably less pricey than some of the other hotels in Atlantis and farther from the casino crowds (which we appreciated).
it was a basic hotel room (Beach Tower) but I guess I knew that going in. I wasn't about to pay double to be in one of the newer buildings. We were there to be outside anyway, enjoying the beach and all the water fun. And that is what we did - every day. The rides were awesome - we spent every day all day enjoying them all.
We stayed the the beach tower, but to get to anything located on the resort, you are going to have to walk a mile or more to get there. All of the restaraunts are located in the coral, royal and cove towers. You can take the shuttle service, but the wait can take up to 20 minutes.
The Beach Tower may be the oldest hotel in Atlantis, but you wouldn't know it. In fact, I think it is nicer than the Coral Tower (and less crowded).
We are not rich, so we stayed at the Beach Tower, which is less expensive -- not sure why, as it was wonderful.
