My sister and I absolutely loved the marine exhibits. It is clear that Atlantis truly cares about conservation of the local ecosystems through their coral farming, sea turtle rehabilitation, and manta ray release programs.

5. Dolphin Cay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,283 reviews
Sometimes the best way to describe something is by saying what it isn't. Dolphin Cay isn't an aquarium, it's not an entertainment facility, and it doesn't stage marine shows. Opened in 2007 in response to a need to provide a safe haven for 16 stranded dolphins whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, Dolphin Cay is one of the world's largest open-air, man-made marine mammal habitats. Located on the west side of the Atlantis, Paradise Island property, the 14-acre environment includes an 11-acre lagoon complete with coves and sandy beaches, 7 connected "residential" pools, a state-of-the-art education center, an animal rescue-rehabilitation hospital, an animal pharmacy, a quarantine, and a separate sea lion center. Dolphin Cay is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums (AMMPA), and the International Marine Animal Trainers' Association (IMATA). Through its partnerships with the University of Florida's School of Veterinary Medicine and University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Dolphin Cay plays an active role in the development of the advanced research and knowledge about marine mammals. Every visit to Dolphin Cay supports the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, creating and promoting solutions for a wide range of marine conservation challenges from coral reef degradation to marine species in decline.

When planning our trip to the Atlantis resort we weren't sure what was open and what was closed. This review will reflect what was open at Aquaventure during our trip the week of March 20th 2021. Acquaventure water park - The water park was operating at a reduced capacity during our stay. You were always able to find plenty of seating through out the day. The Mayan Temple slides, (Serpent Slide, Challenger Slides, Jungle Slides and The Leap of Faith) were open four days a week (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri) and the Power Tower slides (The Abyss, The Surge, The Drop and The Falls) and The Current (Rapids River surrounding the Power Tower) were open three days a week (Tues, Thur, Sat). The Splashers pool was open every day. The Baths Colonnade Pool, the pool complexes at the Coral and Beach towers were closed. We were able to use all beaches including the Cove Beach. Lines were minimal at all slides during our week. We had a great time each day at the water slide and other attractions. The lifeguards are fun and entertaining, the pool wait staff hustles and are eager to serve. We want to call out Don one of the pool wait staff! He saw me walking to get food and said what do you want and I’ll get it for you. I said, “we’re sitting way over there, over the river and through the woods” (there wasn’t a food location open where we were sitting) He said no problem! I’ll find you. I gave him our order and he tracked us down, literally over the rapids river and across the beach! He came back later and asked if we needed anything else and then found us the next day again. Use the pool wait staff. They are eager to serve and glad to be back working. Give them a little extra to support them and their family who have just experienced almost a year of no work. There were plenty of pools and attractions open during our stay to ensure the days were eventful. We had a great time at Aquaventure!
