Dining In with Your Own Fully Equipped Kitchen
The cost of food in the Caribbean reflects the fact that everything is imported.
The best way to manage this expense is to book an accommodation with a kitchen. All Harborside at Atlantis units have full kitchen facilities, making them the best value for accommodations at the Atlantis Resort & Casino. The Harborside kitchens include a full fridge, cooktop, convection microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, and a standard set of pots and pans.
Of course, most families do not eat all meals in their condo. There are many restaurants at the Atlantis Resort & Casino and off resort - from casual to gourmet - and exploring them is part of the vacation experience. However, the savings and convenience of having a kitchen for breakfast, snacks, and the occasional dinner cannot be overestimated.
The resort is casual, the weather is warm and there is a washer/dryer in every unit - so pack light and leave room for food. Pack cereal, coffee, bagels, snacks, peanut butter and jelly, etc. Ask your taxi driver to stop at the market on the way to Atlantis Resort & Casino from the airport to pick up milk, juice, bread, etc.
Harborside at Atlantis also runs a shuttle to a grocery store on Saturdays, Sundays, & Mondays - $10 per-person round trip with one hour to shop.
So the family can decide to eat in, instead of mobilizing everyone for breakfast each day. And you have other options: you can bring leftovers home from that great family style meal at Carmine's, order a pizza from Domino's, subs from Quiznos, or have any other inexpensive meal in your own comfortable condo.
