Good Morning Pat! No it is not a new hotel as in a few years old. They went at the end of May last year and are going in June of this year. They have never complained of the housekeeping or staff and believe they would if it was not good. Look up www.atlantisbahamas.com There is the Cove Atlantis and also the the Reef Atlantis along with the Atlantis Towers. My brother was telling me that the Cove and Reef are private in that if you aren't staying there you can't get on the property say as to use the pool at the Cove rather than the Atlantis. You can go to the Atlantis though and all the restaurants and shops. Like I said they love it there so if you have any other questions let me know and I'll ask him.
