Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas - Disneyland in Paradise

You are missing out on paradise if you have never been to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. The resort, which is on its own island, is unlike any other in the world. It will take you days just to see the grounds and discover everything the resort has to offer. Hence the name of the resort, everything is designed and decorated to make you feel like you are in the lost city of Atlantis. The grounds are filled with wildlife habitats from shark tanks to sting ray bays.

Accommodations
Visitors have a variety of accommodation options while staying at the resort. There are towers that have hundreds of rooms, ranging from a resort view room to a penthouse luxury suite. Even the rooms are decorated with the "Atlantis" theme. The newest towers are unique and focus on a younger crowd. The "Cain" tower has its own private pool, bar and cabanas. Cain visitors can use all of the amenities on the Atlantis grounds but those staying at the original Atlantis towers cannot use the Cain amenities.

Pools and Water Attractions
The large number of pools and water slides truly make this resort one of kind. You can choose to watch your children play in the multiple kiddie pools, float down the lazy river or sit in a pool cove under a waterfall. There are now over ten different water slides that guests can use free of charge. The most famous waterslide, "The Leap of Faith", shoots the rider straight down a pipe and then washes them through a shark tank. Riders are amazed as they see shark swimming around them.

Other Attractions
The Atlantis offers all sorts of attractions and activities, from dolphin excursions to scuba diving. The lagoon located in the middle of the resort is where guests can snorkel and swim. There is no shortage of marine life at this resort. If guests don't want to get in the water they can choose to take the aquarium tour throughout the resort. Ping pong tables and volleyball courts are also located close to the beach.

Dining Options
The resort has what seems like an endless amount of dining options. Guests can buy a meal plan if so desired. The pool area is home to over a dozen snack bars, bars and barbeque stations. Guests can have dinner at one of the many restaurants located throughout the resort and casino. Reservations must be made for nicer dining options, like the steakhouse and Italian restaurant. Carmine's, a gourmet Italian restaurant, serves all dishes family style (which feed six people). This is a great place for large groups or families.

Marina
The marina is a fun place where you can sit and dream of what it would be like to own a multi-million dollar yacht. Yachts from all over the world come in throughout the day and night. The marina is also lined with shopping and dining options.

This is only the start of all the Atlantis offers its guests. The place is truly unlike any other place in the world. If you haven't experienced this jewel you are truly missing out.
