I just got back from our second trip to Atlantis in the last 2 summers. I am not a big sit by the pool person, but the resort is amazing. The prices vary widely from the old Beach Towers to the Main Tower and the most expensive is the Cove Tower. If you can get in The Cove Tower you are given access to a seperate pool which is very nice. Food ranges from the very high end to reasonable deli type food. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try and answer them.. If you go with the kids they will love the water park.
