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.

I too would like to vacation in a lost underwater city. #dadjoke

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…

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
