The Atlantis Hotel Rating: 3.5 Pearls

Eastern Barbados, Barbados

The Hotel Lobby

This historic property may not look like much upon entering the parking lot, but catch that first breathtaking view of the ocean and everything makes sense. The main entrance leads to the cheerful yellow lobby, restaurant, and bar area where there are more views from the large front-facing windows. Off the lobby, a charming staircase winds up to the second floor and introduces a nautical feel with photography, white walls, and wood floors. Outside, grounds include two parking lots, an outdoor pool area, and the restaurant’s patio. Walk down to the beach area for photo ops, or simply read a good book on one of the lounge chairs poolside.

For such a small hotel, the ambience remains lively, as the well-known restaurant attracts locals and tourists who are not staying at the hotel.

While most hotels in Barbados are bunched together on the south and west coasts, The Atlantis Hotel has a unique location on the lesser-known east coast overlooking large boulders and huge waves. This surfers' paradise is quite hilly, and a car is needed to get to most island attractions. Area taxis can be arranged through the hotel.

Atlantis Restaurant

This small hotel lacks typical resort amenities -- its stunning views, lovely outdoor pool, and on-site restaurant round out the property's perks.

The Atlantis restaurant is popular with hotel guests, locals, and tourists staying at other hotels. Stunning coastal views from both inside and outside tables complement the carefully thought-out cuisine, which features fresh local produce, seafood, and meats. A Barbadian buffet is served twice a week -- reservations are strongly recommended.
