 | This was our second visit to Atlantis this year, we also stayed at Pixies BnB, which we will do a seperate review for.
We've covered what the club offers and what it does not in our previous review, so scroll down for that. Attending on the Couples Only night on Saturday, we brought 5 other couples with us, who came from all over the UK, so they were all hitting the venue for the first time and were all equally impressed by it.Including a female couple. It once again had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the white theme was embraced by many and everyone dressed up. Great music and staff made for a great night out, though one more volunteer on the bar for the first two to three hours would perhaps be useful.
My gay female friends found the venue especially erotic (This was not the first hetrosexual swingers club we had taken them to) as the high percentage of bi ladies made for a very erotic time for them but came without what they felt was the 'cattyness' of a lesbian bar, thus making them all the more comfortable (And horny, promptly dissappearing to the private rooms upstairs at frequent intervals) It was mainly a social evening for us, as were being 'mothers' to the people we brought, including a couple very new to the scene who took some big steps.
Everyone left with a smile on their face. We understand there are plans for some extensions and renovations though there may be some hesistation over still getting the numbers (80 plus on Saturday, 40 plus couples and some singles) to make the place look busy still. All we can say, is build it, and they will come. You will broaden your appeal even further with more lockable room, additional showers (Great that you have one, more would be better) and some other possible wet facilities.
Despite the huge distance involved for us, Atlantis will join a list of venues that we will always try and hit at least once a year. If you like dancing as part of your erotic play (And every couple we took with us did) then this really is a club for you.
We would also suggest to keep it fresh, find a modular way of changing the layout every so often upstairs. Don't get us wrong, there is nothing wrong with it, but just try something new every six months or so to mix it up a bit, at least until you expand. Always good to keep people guessing.
Only gripe, is the upstairs became a bit more of a social area this time around, where last time is was all erotic music and play and a little less conversation. (Still people got stuck in none the less) but do avoid conversations of a more social nature in the play areas, it can kill the mood somewhat.
This is a fabulous club for anyone who likes to get their groove on, with their grooves on in the background, as it were. Fun, friendly, clean and laidback. Even though we didnt play on this ocasion, we had an awesome time none the less, and are rating is the same as last time. 4.5 out of 5.
