The Royal at Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas, is not a traditional all-inclusive resort in 2026. Instead, it operates on a "pay-as-you-go" basis for dining and drinks. While your room rate includes access to the massive Aquaventure Waterpark, the marine habitats (The Dig), and the fitness center, most food and beverages come at an additional cost. However, the resort often offers Dining Plans (such as the 2-course or 3-course options) that can be purchased in advance to cover breakfast and dinner at select restaurants, which can help in budgeting. It is important to note that Atlantis is a "cashless" resort, meaning all purchases are charged to your room or paid via credit card. In May 2026, the hotel is introducing the Imperial Club at The Royal, which offers an elevated experience with exclusive lounge access, continental breakfast, and evening cocktails for guests in specific room categories, providing a "semi-inclusive" feel for those willing to pay a premium for added convenience and luxury.
