Don’t spit on the staff and don’t walk on the beach at night. I’ve stated there many times and never even been on the beach. I don’t think the beach is private. I heard about people coming up and trying to get you to jet ski or do braids. [/quote]
Not true. 
On Atlantis itself it’s private and extremely safe. 
He was being an entitled jerk to employees and he paid for it with his life. [/quote]

Or the two things are unrelated.

People are being raped by jet ski company employees and being mugged at gun point. There are so many other places to vacation, I will just choose somewhere else. [/quote]

Unfortunately stuff like this can happen anywhere. Would you pay a man in a poor area of DC to give you a ride to secluded area? Probably not. Why do it in a beautiful place and think it’s safe? [/quote]

Atlantis doesn't even get good reviews. [/quote]

People think because the water is beautiful that it’s safe and doesn’t look “sketchy“. Interesting if you put the same crime in Nassau as somewhere else, but took away the beauty, people would be scared shitless.

I’ll never understand why middle class America thinks Atlantis is so high-end. It’s huge, jampacked with people, overpriced cheeseburgers, and at least a shark attack a year.[/quote]

Exactly. We are the target market - we like big popular resorts like Disney, cruising, waterparks, etc. But anyone who spent 5 minutes reading the reviews or talking to anyone who has been would probably not go. I have never spoken to a single person who said they would go a second time. That is always my first question to people about a vacation - would you go back/do it again?[/quote]

Same.  It’s pretty far down my list.  They advertise a ton of shows like Wherl of Fortune though.  [/quote]

Got stuck on a cruise there once (long story) but we got off the boat and proceeded to get right back on. Nassau is a two-bit s-hole. [/quote]
