This incredibly beautiful resort in the Bahamas has had to make cuts due to decreased occupancy rates and sales. The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas features over 3,000 rooms (imagine the housekeeping staff!). This is one of the best selling timeshare resorts of all time on the secondary or timeshare resales market. The demand for these is astounding with people paying tens of thousands for a one week stay each year.

The reporter said that these layoffs at Atlantis - Bahamas accounted for about 10% of their staff. So, 8,000 people on their staff? I guess that's what they said.

That does reflect a huge amount of attention to each visitor to the resort. If the place was 100% occupied (and of course it is not) you'd have 2 or 3 staff people seeing to each room. That may account for the high owner satisfaction grades this resort receives. Owners rave about the service, attention to detail, and quality of their experience.

Hopefully, as things return to normal, those 800 workers will be back at work helping to make your stay at the Atlantis one you'll never forget.
