Atlantis Luxury Bed & Breakfast

This bed and breakfast was everything you could want and more for a great weekend getaway at the shore. It was clean and private. service was excellent. Everyone was so nice. The rooms were definitely a taste of Europe at the beach. Their sangria was an extra treat. The best was the relaxing roof top deck.

We booked the Villa’d Porto Fino for a 2 night stay for 5 adults over a lovely sunny weekend in August. It is nice place to stay and they provide a very filling continental breakfast. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and even the boardwalk is very close (5 min walk).
Unfortunately, there are a lot of other things that ain’t right here and that has left a bad taste from the vacation. The first thing we noticed was that it is difficult to contact the Inn keeper, Val, as the phone# listed is not a landline, but a mobile. We had a few queries about our reservation before our vacation and left a few messages and even mailed him, but he never got back to us.
We wanted to ask him about the parking situation as the confirmation email they sent mentioned limited spaces in their private parking lot. The important thing that they never mention on the phone is that there is a lot of free street parking that you will find around the inn. We had 3 cars in our party and all of us found free street parking for 2 days. We were forced to pay $ 37 for 2 days as they scare you as soon as you move in that there is no parking available.
The bill also mentions that we have to pay $ 10 for complimentary water and other services… really? how is it complimentary if we are paying for it?
Secondly, Val, the inn keeper tried to scare us that we are in violation of city rules as there were 5 guests in our party and all of us will not be able to stay in the suite, even though we had paid for the extra person. Our complain was why did they have to take a payment on their website in the first place for the 5^th person when it was illegal to do so?
Finally, as other reviewers had posted, Val is a rude person. We found that out the hard way. One of our friends, who lives in Philly wanted to come meet us at the Inn, and called to ask the location and parking situation close by, and Val asked her all sorts of personal questions. where does she live?? why are you visiting Ocean city, how long will you stay here? Maybe he thought we were adding her as the 6^th guest to the suite!
The experience of staying at the Inn for the guests can be enhanced and improved if the management works on their customer service skills.

We’ve been staying in Ocean City for 20 years, and this has become a new favorite. We came here on a Groupon deal and we definitely plan on coming back in the future. Michael, the manager, was always friendly and very helpful. Val, the owner, was gracious and clearly tries very hard to run a superior establishment. Wine and cookies or Sangria and nuts were set out in the evenings, and the breakfast was cooked to order. (Weekend stay) Wonderful omelettes, pancakes, fresh fruit, yogurt and cereal bar and perfect coffee and fresh, loose teas and juices. Our room was wonderful (fireplace, private rooftop deck entrance, Bvlgari toiletries) and the rooftop deck is immense, relaxing and even has a fireplace. An added nice touch is the chilled Poland Spring water that’s available free of charge for room consumption. Can’t wait to return!

The décor and layout of the inn are very nice. The beds and sheets are extremely comfortable. We stayed in the Cinese, the room itself was small. However, the bathroom and jacuzzi tub were very large.
Despite the décor, bed, and tub, we were very disappointed. For the price of staying in the inn we expected a much better breakfast to be served, a better location, and better service overall.
Two strips of bacon or two sausages, frozen potatoes, and two extremely watery eggs… We could have paid a lot less for a room closer to a diner with outstanding breakfast. Extra bacon was $ 5.00. The fresh fruit bar was nice, but had the same thing everyday. The owner will tell you the breakfast is a 25.00 value, it is not at all. You will get three pancakes with two pieces of sausage or bacon. If you get eggs, the potatoes are definitely OreIda frozen. The breakfast is a complete waste, and I do not suggest you book and expect a good breakfast.
The location is not beach block. It is two blocks from the beach. Additionally, the on point to the beach on sixth goes to the surfing beach. It is a longer haul from the door to the beach than you are lead to believe. Furthermore, it is immediately across from the OC high school. Not exactly what I want to stare at from the rooftop deck.
The owner. He is an extremely rude man. On the telephone he is short and condescending, but in person he is not as bad. He certainly thinks he knows it all. If you call to book, ask for Lori. She is the manager, and is much nicer and more willing to answer your questions.
We gave this two stars only because of the bedding and jacuzzi tub. The rooftop deck was nice, but you see other houses and the ferris wheel. If you sit in the right spot you can see a speck of the ocean. You can definitely find better for the money — this is extremely overpriced. We will not be staying here again, and I can assure you this is not a ‘luxury’ B&B.
PROS: décor, beds/​bedding, jacuzzi tub
CONS: breakfast, location, price $$$, owner, small room, wifi

Stayed here this past weekend on a Friday night. Loved my room, although somewhat small. There was no thermostat in the room, but the temperature was never uncomfortable. They have a good DVD library that is free to use, and the rooftop deck is beautiful.
We’re not huge breakfast people, but I absolutely loved my choc. chip pancakes and the fruit was so fresh!
The only gripes I have is that you have to pay extra for parking, which I thought was a little ridiculous given the price of the room. I ended up finding on-​street parking anyway and was still charged the $ 15. Also, like other reviewers said, the staff is overwhelmed. We went to check out early Saturday and ended up waiting 20 minutes until we saw a staff member. The other gripe would be that the free Wi-​fi did not work in our room, so I didn’t get to use that amenity.
I also really liked that we could stay just one night during the busy season, since most hotels make you stay 2. Also, the bed/​pillows/​sheets were the most comfortable I have ever slept on. I had a great nights sleep, which rarely happens when I don’t stay in my own bed.
We’ll definitely go back during the off season and most likely get a room with a jacuzzi. Very peaceful and romantic.

Just came back from a weekend getaway with my girlfriend. The inn is in the perfect spot in relation to the boardwalk. Val, the owner, is nice and cooks an excellent breakfast. Our room had access to the rooftop deck but it was a little too windy to really enjoy it.
The only gripes are that you have to park on the street and our room didn’t have a controllable thermostat; the room across the hall from us controls the temperature.
Lastly, heads up that Ocean City is a dry town.

Nice B&B near the heart of O.C. Good breakfast, nice but slightly overwhelmed staff, especially during busy season.
Good bathrooms with nice fixtures, good air conditioning. My only gripe is that the bed was too small and the pillows were awful. Other than that, the Atlantis is probably the best B&B in this family friendly town.
