Some in room images from the the Royal Atlantis Resort. You can see out from the windows to the other palm fronds so I assuming this is a show suite for the residences because I don't believe there will be rooms on the ground floor of the resort. It will likely be removed once the resort is complete and the space used for something else.

The new waterpark tower is looking really good. I can't wait to see this resort finished next year.
The hotel has been delayed to 2021, most probably right before EXPO 2020.
This is official, you can also hear General Manager Tim Kelly speaking about this in the latest Emirates World podcast.
Given the state of construction I don't think this will hit it's planned opening in 2020. Does anyone know when they might announce a new opening date? The last I have seen was an announcement from May and they were still planning on being open this year.
Here is some more concept art from the official site which has been updated recently but still doesn't have any dates.

Super short video but you can see the new tower of the waterpark as well as the construction on the new hotel.
