Anyone have experience staying at the Atlantis with 4 kids in one room? They say online there’s a strict max occupancy of four total per room. Any thoughts?

We stayed at the Cove, they are very strict about it, friends who traveled with us had 3 children with the parents in one room, were forced into getting another room. Not sure what would have happened if all rooms were sold out.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

Staying in the Royal next week... How far is the closest grocery store, and it is easy to get there by cab? Just for basics like water bottles...

Quick 5 minute cab ride.  If you buy in the hotel then it is much more expensive

That's the plan, probably get a case at the grocery for the price of one bottle in the hotel.

Do you know the name of the closest grocery, or trust the cab driver???

The hotel gives you a bunch of water bottle vouchers so may not need to

It says 2 bottles per day/per room...  Not bad for a $50 resort fee

Yeh but they usually just hand you a bunch of vouchers from the booklet and dont count a specific amount per person per day. And if a voucher happens to be in your bathing suit and gets wet, they will simply hand you an entire wad of new vouchers in exchange. We ended up having plenty of leftover vouchers that we gave away when we were leaving.

In Atlantis should I stay at the Reef or the Cove? Price is close; the reef has a kitchen the cove has a better bed configuration. I will be 3 people, myself and my daughters, 11 & 13.

Thanks

Thank you. That's exactly what we experienced.
Plenty of extra water bottle vouchers at end of stay.

Does anyone know if Cove will store/heat kosher? If not, what do people do for food? Bring in toaster oven?
They will heat your meals at only $15 pp.

Either would be fine.  Reef and Cove are the only ones with a private pool, so either
