Atlantis is definitely one of the must-visit hotels when traveling with kids 🧒!
👀 After watching quite a few hotel review videos, I am so glad I insisted on booking a one-night stay at Atlantis a day in advance, even though it was a bit late. It truly lives up to its reputation as a children's paradise 🎠! The Aquaventure Waterpark is a blast and a must-visit, but towels aren't as readily available as they are in the hotel, so make sure to bring your own in advance. The resort is a mini-complex combining accommodation, dining, and shopping all in one, and surprisingly, the items sold here are actually quite nice! ⛲️ The small kids' club is very new and gives off a bit of a 'Meland' vibe. It's free for hotel guests 🆓, but the grip socks are super expensive! Be sure to bring your own in advance ❗️
🏠 Room Type: Since we were only staying for one night, we chose the Octonauts-themed room. The room size is average, but it's well-equipped with amenities—a small tent, kids' toys, bunk beds, and even a step stool for little ones in the room. It also comes with an ocean-view balcony. Since we were on a higher floor, the ocean view was just okay.
🥣 Breakfast: Absolutely lavish! It feels like all the hotels in Haitang Bay have been taking notes from each other—they even had specialty coffee stations. Atlantis also offers plenty of items that other hotels don't, and the food tasted great. However, the buffet restaurant can be a bit chilly, so parents should bring extra layers for the kids and elderly family members.
Hotel Service 💁♀️:
Our stay was quite short, and we only interacted with our butler, SpongeBob 🧽, who was very enthusiastic. They also helped us extend our check-out time to 2:00 PM the next day, which really saved us from the awkwardness of our rushed arrival ❤️.
🛝 Activities & Amenities:
Getting food delivery is quite a trek, as it's way over by The Lost Chambers Aquarium 🥹;
Prices for ancillary items are very high—kids' grip socks cost 26 RMB a pair.
Hotel guests get free admission to The Lost Chambers Aquarium and the Aquaventure Waterpark. The aquarium is relatively small, but the spatial design is quite stunning. With its rich variety of marine life and architectural style, it feels like exploring a mysterious cave. For the first entry, hotel guests need to present their ID cards and have the kids' faces scanned at the front desk; after that, you can just use facial recognition for entry.
The kids' zone in the aquarium opens at 11:00 AM, and the small slides are perfect for little ones. The lazy river is also a lot of fun. Due to limited time, we only got to ride it once, but Baozi (my child) hasn't stopped talking about it since!
For elderly guests, the rooms at Atlantis might feel a bit cramped. We voted that next time we'll just come here for the waterpark and stay at the nearby Renhe Hotel. Mainly because the waterpark isn't super convenient for hotel guests—it's quite a walk from the rooms, and fetching things back and forth is a hassle. Be sure to buy water shoes!
