Atlantis in Paradise Island Bahamas

The Atlantis in Paradise Island Bahamas
One of the beautiful places that I have been is the Paradise Island in Bahamas. This place is also known as the Hog Island. From Nassau Harbor, it's about $5 for a van ride and about $3 for a boat ride. I prefer the latter because it is exciting to see the beautiful view and it is a pretty safe ride. The Atlantis which is located in Paradise island is truly a grandeur of beauty!

We were inside the Atlantis and it was truly wonderful! There were areas exclusive for Resort Guests and all their amenities are beyond beautiful. Atlantis has extensive water park rides, pools, beach, walk-in-aquarium and more amazing amenities.
 
The cheapest rates for winter is $244 / night with 2 person occupancy. Expensive huh? Well, their summer special is $226 / night with 2 person occupancy too. Prices vary in which accommodation you booked: Royal Towers, Coral Towers, Beach Tower, The Cove Atlantis, The Reef Atlantis, Harborside Resort, and Suites. The latter is truly a luxurious accommodation. Unbelievable price which fits for a king! Not in my lifetime will I ever can afford!

Try to check out the prices at atlantis.com and though to stay in one of the rooms in Atlantis is in my bucket list, I wouldn't count on that unless I win a billion in Lotto.  
If you want to visit the Bahamas and in no way can't afford to stay in Atlantis, don't worry. There are hotels, bed and breakfast, condos as well as apartments which you can rent for a short or longer accommodation. But, if you want to access all the amenities of Atlantis, better book your stay in this resort.

I took this photo on the bridge while I rode the van going to Paradise island. I was so excited that finally, I will be able to roam inside the Atlantis.

World Class Attractions in Puerto Rico

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puerto Rico, The All-Star Island. All opinions are 100% mine.

It has been told that there is no greater journey than the one that leads us all to paradise and enchantment. With that being said, Puerto Rico fits in that category. One of the places that I heard often is Puerto Rico not only because of its breathtaking beaches but, most of all I have quiet a few amazing Puero Rican friends who vouched that Puero Rico is "The Island of Enchantment" afterall; the island is known at that phrase, "La Isla del Encanto."

Here's my list of itenary to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico:

1. Bioluminescent bays which really on top of the list because it is quiet amazing! Thanks to the dinoflagellates which are able to display an awesome emerald green and ultramarine illumination when the water is disturbed. Glowing as you swim is an spectacular sight for sure.

2. El Yunque National Forest is a great place to explore the beauty of nature with lush vegetation and unspoiled tropical attraction.

3. Flamenco Beach in Culebra offers pristine waters and powdery-white beaches which truly is a great place for swimming, scuba diving, and exploring for rare flora and fauna.

4. Camuy Caverns, a natural attraction in Puerto Rico which has a breathtaking view via walking trail or trolley tour. Either way, this place is full of wonderful views to see.

Puerto Rico has 270 miles of coastline and featured in the Top 10 beaches from Travel Channel and that includes Flamenco Beach in Culebra which often cited as one of the best beaches in the world. Are you thinking about crystal blue water and white-sand beaches to enjoy while vacationing? Well, Puerto Rico has that to offer and if you are a History Buffs, you can enjoy old world charm of San Juan as well.

Live your own 5-star vacation story in Puerto Rico. The most amazing experience that you will enjoy is when you visit the Bioluminescent bays where you can glow like an angel. How exciting that can be? This place is one of Puerto Rico's key tourist destinations. Not only that, you can also visit the only rainforest under US National Park Service, the "El Yunque" and experience climbing to the clouds.

If you are an adventurer, horse back riding is an awesome activity to explore a scenic area in Puerto Rico. You have to include in your travel list, the Camuy River Cave Park as well. Camuy Caverns runs through the 3rd largest subterranean river in the world so; while in Puerto Rico, this place shouldn't be missed. Aside from that, if you are a foodie, you can also experience the delicacies of Puerto Rican gastronomy and it's famous Rums.

Bioluminescent Bay in Puerto Rico

Have you ever watch that movie Life of Pi? Do you remember this scene? How amazing isn't it? The ghostly image down below the water is just incredible! Do you think this is real? If it is real, what makes it glow? Is there a place to visit just to experience this amazing wonder? As a matter of fact, there is and the most famous place is found in Puerto Rico.

Bioluminescent Bay is located in the island of Puerto Rico and there are 3 places that have these awesome display of emerald green beauty: in Fajardo, in Vieques and in Lajas. Recently, it was reported though that Bioluminescent Bay or Bio Bay has gone nearly dark. But why?

Bio Bay is being considered as the best example of a Bioluminescent Bay and is also known as one of the National Landmark in Puerto Rico. When the water is disturb, the water glows. This is because of the microorganism called Dinoflagellates. It will generate an emerald green once the water is disturb.

The emerald green light is actually the chemical response of flagellates. When there is less light from the surrounding area, the more glowing the microorganism is.

Check out this lucky lady. who created an angel out of herself. Flagellates are harmless so; if you travel from far away just to visit Puerto Rico, you should not dare miss this place.
