Ok, I've been to Xtasia and to Atlantis, the former I've been to as a couple and as a single, the latter only as a single.
In some ways they are similar clubs in that both are clothed clubs, with dance floors and play areas and smart casual is required for entrance as a minimum. That said they are significantly different.
Taking Xtasia first, it's a huge club split over 4 levels. The club has it's own licensed bar with exceptionally good drink price and also serve a small range of food. Theres what is called a social area, basically lots of settees with a screen showing porn, linked to a camera playroom which defaults to live action when someone enters the camera room. The settees are comfortable, theres a small bar there too which isn't always open and it's a good place to relax, chat away from the dance floor music and people often end up playing there too. Downstairs is the main bar and huge dance floor, with doors leading to various playrooms, some private, some being couples only rooms and a dungeon area. It also houses a maze and a grope box.
Theres also showers and a cinema room which can get hot, and certainly attracts lots of people in there whom like to play... In the loft area, up some narrow stairs is the dogging room, which has two car bonnets and a picnic table. I have to say this area looks impressive but so far when I have been I haven't seen anyone playing in that area, you never know it may be full to capacity on FFFF night with people bringing sandwiches...
Atlantis is much smaller over 2 floors. Downstairs it has a reception a bar which is BYOB, a smallish dance floor and seating together with a dungeon area.
Upstairs it has some comfortable settes, 2 lockable playrooms, and a large open play area seperated into seprate play beds. Theres also a small dark room. The play area in this club does feel very opulant and seductive with dim lights and nice places to play on.
Overall, I think both clubs are excellent and I'd happily go to both again, though May at Xtasia has caught me with the FFFF event on 5th May, another swinger party which is invitation only on the 19th and at the end of the month the fabulous Foam party on 31st which was truely excellent back in December.
Hope that helps
