Editor Quote:: "A stay at Atlantis, The Palm is absolutely worth the trip. Though it's a considerable expense and takes a considerable amount of time to travel to from the United States, this was the most luxurious and memorable vacation of my life. I'm still buzzing from the vacation, and I'm not sure I'll ever get to casually see a shark on my way to dinner ever again." — Taylor Andrews, editor, Balance
