Dear Owner,
Vacations are your time — your time to rest, play, explore and connect. With all the latest resort
updates and renovations that have taken place over the past year, we hope you’ll find everything
here that you need to create an enjoyable Home Resort stay. From minor repairs to large-scale
refurbishments, it’s important to share all of it with you because this is your home-away-from-home,
after all.
Beyond your resort, there are always fresh new things to share about the other villa resorts in the
collection, plus happenings with Vistana™ Signature Experiences and upgrades to Owner benefits,
including membership in the Marriott Bonvoy™ program.
We’re always delighted to have you come back and spend your vacation with us. We look forward to
seeing you.
Sincerely,
Judith Thompson
General Manager

SUMMER 2019
RESORT UPDATE
RESORT ENHANCEMENTS
Dec. 31 saw the start of a new year, as well as the
completion of the resort's multi-year refurbishment project.
The renovations that took place over the past two years
were well worth the wait.
While new interior design installations were underway, vertical
hot water pipes and air conditioning insulation were replaced to
help mitigate the longstanding issue of in-room leaks.
Clay-colored NEOGARD
®
flooring has been installed on the
outdoor breezeway and in stairwells, bringing a new look and
non-slip flooring outside the buildings. Each villa also received
a new entry door, threshold and weather stripping.
The lobby received a complete makeover with new flooring,
furniture and a refreshed color scheme. The pool deck
received all-new chaise lounges, tables and umbrellas.
Buildings 1, 2 and 7 had new air handlers installed with
built-in dehumidifiers, allowing for removal of the closet
dehumidifiers and increasing storage space. Building 7
was the first building to transition to the new, on-demand
tankless water heaters.
The oldest Coaster bus and the small van have been replaced by
a new Coaster which accommodate guests with disabilities.
Interior renovations on the elevators wrapped up earlier this
year. These refurbishments include new controls, wall panels,
flooring and LCD screens.
Some of the projects scheduled for 2019 include the
transition of Buildings 1 and 2 to tankless water heaters,
completion of the gym renovations which includes all-new
fitness equipment and replacement of the chillers. New
entry door locks are scheduled for installation in 2019, once
Atlantis transitions to new locks.
VILLA ENHANCEMENTS
Villas in both phases now boast new interiors with fresh
color palettes evoking the lush tropical foliage of the
Bahamas. In addition to brand-new furniture in the sitting
area and dining room, each villa also received new carpet,
artwork and drapery.
New granite countertops were installed in Building 2 villas,
concluding the Phase 1 building upgrades.
EXTRA BEDDING POLICY
Please remember that, effective January 1, 2018, Harborside
Resort at Atlantis no longer offers rollaway beds in any
villa. The service was discontinued due to space limitations
and to ensure the comfort and safety of our Owners and
Guests. Each villa is equipped with a sleeper sofa. If you are
traveling with children, we are happy to provide cribs and
high chairs upon request. These items are in limited supply
and therefore not guaranteed. If you prefer to rent these
items for a nominal fee through a third-party vendor, please
contact the resort directly.
SMOKING POLICY
Please take note of newly designated smoking areas around
the resort to accommodate our Owners and Guests.
Smoking is prohibited on the pool deck, the balconies and
within the villas.
DINING EXPERIENCES
Enjoy various culinary experiences as Atlantis continues to
add authenticity to its ‘Bahamas at Heart’ local menu offerings
by adding some new outlets and revamping existing eateries’
menus, including:
• Sun & Ice: Locally flavored ice creams and treats
• Frankie Gone Bananas: Traditional Bahamian snacks
and entrees
• Sip Sip: A Harbor Island favorite, now at the Cove
pool deck
• Pirate Republic: Locally brewed craft beer
• McKenzie’s: Fresh-made conch salad
• Fish by José Andrés: Fresh-caught seafood
• The Beach Bar: A returning oceanfront favorite
• Café Martinique: Relaunched with a new menu in 2019
