Okay, so I’ve been dreaming about staying at the Bridge Suite at the Atlantis for, like, forever. It’s crazy expensive, but I finally decided to just go for it. YOLO, right?
Booking It
First things first, I tried to find it online like normal reservation,it’s not working. I figured it wasn’t going to be that * out, you can’t just book the Bridge Suite online. Nope, you gotta call them directly.
So, I called the Atlantis reservation line, and after being on hold for what felt like an eternity, I finally got a real person. I told her I was interested in the Bridge Suite, and she put me through to someone else, a special and polite “VIP services” type person. I guess.
Getting Approved
The VIP lady asked me a bunch of questions – like, what dates I was looking at, and what I am going to do there. I guess they don’t just let anyone stay * didn’t give me the price straight away. Instead, she said she’d have to “check availability and get back to me.” It all felt very mysterious, like I was trying to join a secret club or something.
A couple of days later, I got an email. Approved! But also… the price. I won’t say exactly how much, but let’s just say it was more than my car. Way more.
Paying Up
I had to wire them a deposit, which was a whole other process. My little local bank was definitely not used to handling transactions this big. The banker looked at me like I was crazy when I told her the amount. I even wondered myself at that time.
Actually Staying There
Fast forward to the actual trip: it all started when I landed and got picked up in a private car, straight to the resort. Check-in was also a breeze, they had a separate area for fancy guests like me (LOL). Then, they took me up to the suite.
Walking in was unreal.
- The view! Floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out over the whole resort and the ocean. Insane.
- Giant living room, dining room, multiple bedrooms… it was bigger than my house.
- My very own butler. A BUTLER, you guys. He unpacked my suitcase and everything.
I spent the next few days living like a king. Room service, private beach access, swimming with dolphins… it was all ridiculously over-the-top. Did I feel a little guilty about spending so much money? Maybe. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
It was the ultimate vacation. One for the memory books, and definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. I’m already saving up for my next trip… maybe in another 10 years, haha!
