Casual tower near beach at Atlantis, Paradise Island




Miles of sand
Part of the water-park and marine-life Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, which connects by bridge to Nassau, this 423-room tower at the tranquil east end of the resort lies close to 3 miles of beach.


Day/night family fun

Attractions include 11 swimming areas, water slides, a saltwater sports lagoon, a health spa, a 24-hour casino, 35 restaurants/bars, children's/teens' clubs, and 34 acres of marine-life lagoons.


Full balconies
Tropical-decor guestrooms contain two-chair dining sets, shower/tub combinations, televisions with U.S. cable channels and pay movies, and include full balconies with chairs and cocktail tables.


What to expect:

Designed around the theme of the mythical Lost Continent of Atlantis, this resort expanded from a casino destination into a family destination by including vast water-park and marine-life attractions. Beach Tower, which was the resort's first structure, and provides the most tranquil location nearest the beach, offers the least expensive accommodations.


Insider tip:
Just opened in 2005 and located 300 yards from the resort, Marina Village includes international brand-name shops, Bahamian arts/crafts vendors, five restaurants (including Carmines of New York and Johnny Rockets), as well as Jamba Juice and the Caribbean's first Starbucks.
