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.

Freeport Bahamas

When traveling to the Bahamas you will no doubt visit Freeport. If you arrive by cruise ship you will be 15 or 20 min. from the town.

Not to worry there are many taxi vans ready waiting to take you into town the cost is $10 per person but this is for a round-trip ticket. When you depart they will give you a sticker that you present to the representative at your drop-off point that will entitle you to return at no charge.

You will be dropped off at the casino which is open 24 hours a day from this point you can proceed across the street to a very nice market area where they are many colorful and exotic shops and restaurants. There is also a very nice restaurant inside the casino. From this point you can visit the shops and walk around the Marina. You can book a tour to see the Dolphins or scuba dive at the Marina as there are many boats available for this. Freeport is very nice and friendly place and I'm sure you will have a good time.
