Any dads with vacation experience in Atlantis? Interested to hear any feedback from prior vacations (kids are 5 and under). Currently booked at The Cove but could be persuaded otherwise.

Following... Wife and I are debating taking the kids here (3 kids under 5).

Took my family in Summer 2019 - kids were 6, 3, and 1.5 at the time. It was a great trip, planning to go again this December. Stayed at The Cove and will do so again.

Typical day: Breakfast at Cove restaurant. Go walk around the aquariums or do one of the animal programs while it’s not too hot. Spend all afternoon at beach or pool, eat lunch at pool. Several times just ordered room service and did dinner + movie in room since everyone was so wiped out at this point

Downsides: it’s a pretty long walk to the main part of the resort and a really far walk to the restaurants that aren’t inside a specific hotel (I forget what that area is called). Need reservations almost everywhere and we find it hard to be that scheduled with little kids. We couldn’t use the kids club bc at least one, maybe two, kids were too young - but we’re not big drinkers or gamblers so again this was fine with us

I took my kids when we had 3 under age 4 and then went back a couple years later when they were older and it was so much better. There was a lot they couldn’t do the first time because they were too young and staying on a structured schedule to get to our dining reservations was tough. We’ve also been to Nickelodeon in Punta Cana when our kids were young (i think we took them the year after Atlantis, so would have been 3 kids under 5) and kids seem to prefer that as it was much more our speed at that time in our life. We did a swim up room and it was great to have the littles nap while the older could still swim, and was just overall more relaxed.

Went with a 3 and 10 yo in mid summer. ProTip- the tropics are HOT mid summer. 10 yo loved every minute pretty much- was a bit harder for the 3 yo. One of us was locked in the hotel for a couple hours a day with a sleeping little dude. Overall experience was amazing- swimming, sliding, snorkeling…

My husband yells at me in front of my 2 years old, even when he is scared. He needs to express his anger out before he can shut down. I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
