Atlantis Beach Villa

Firstly, this is a great hotel, with fabulous staff and very clean grounds. I am struggling to understand why folks would write a bad review on this hotel. Check In at reception was easy enough, however you cannot get to your room until 1500 hrs. There is a place to change and leave your luggage in a safe place.
