Pools
Ocean Club has two pools on property, and both are exceptional in completely different ways. The zero-entry Family Pool has a sloping shallow end similar to the ocean, so you can rest easy on the lounge chairs while even youngest kids frolic and play in the water. The pool slopes down into a sizeable deep end with several waterfalls to add to the fun. It's located in a secluded area separate from the more "adult" areas of the resort, so parents needn't worry about disturbing other guests. The Versailles Pool, meanwhile, is an idyll of tranquility; open only to those aged 14 and above, it is situated under the terraced gardens and ruined cloister, offering a perfect venue for quiet contemplation while the kids are enjoying activities elsewhere.
KidsOnly Club
The KidsOnly Club here is exceptional. Open to kids ages 4 to 12, it operates in a clubhouse full of games and opportunities for arts & crafts activities, with a separate room with a flat-screen TV/DVD, and areas for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii game consoles. The club organizes regular activities, such as sporting events and lawn games, but the beauty is that parents can check kids in and out as desired during the day at no cost -- the club is completely free to guests.
When the offerings at the resort itself pale, the club also arranges field trips to Atlantis, where kids are not only able to pay a visit to the waterslides and pools, but are also able to participate in special exclusive activities, such as behind-the-scenes tour of the hospital for convalescing sea creatures. During certain times of the year, the club is also open on weekdays from 6 to 8 pm, so parents can enjoy an early dinner date without springing for the cost of a sitter (a fee of $45, which includes a kids' meal, does apply.) In addition to the KidsOnly Club, the resort offers special water sports outings for teens.
