Paradise Island Travel Forum

We are planning a trip in June but are confused about the meal plans. Different web sites indicate different restaurants under the regular or gourmet plans. Our main question is if eating at other than a buffet, is there a special menu at the restaurants for those opting for the meal plan or is it a choice of any one entre' from their regular menu? Also, for anyone that has used a meal plan do you have any advice as to best times or particular restaurants to concentrate on using? One more question on the meal plans, is the charge for the meal made to your room then deducted at checkout or no indication made on your bill at all whether you used it or not? Thank you in advance for your reponse.

I am taking a cruise to Nassau next week. I wondered if I could take the ferry water taxi from the harbor to Paradise island and Atlantis and stay at Atlantis resort for a few hours and then return back on the ferry taxi? Also is it easy to walk to the Atlantis resort from where the ferry water taxi stops?

Could someone tell me where the nearest Winn Dixie or other marketplace would be? We are traveling with three families, 8 kids, and need snacks, milk, etc.

Do the rooms have refrigerators/microwaves? Would you suggest bringing a cooler? Are there ice machines available?

Thanks! Gracias!

What if we will stay besides the Atlantis and want to go to the water parc. Is there a way for us to get passes at the towel counters? How much should we expect to pay for a day at the parc? Are there any way to buy wristbands for sheap?

Regards

Yves

Going to visit Atlantis in July 08. Someone told me that when they visited, the resort (restaurants?) sold large refillable plastic drink cups. They told me that the resort won't inform you, but that those cups can be refilled for free while you are there. Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone? Thanks

does coral reef have a microwave or coffee maker in rm, how about an ice bucket?

Hi, does anyone have a website or maybe a phone number for a cheap transportation to and from the airport i am staying at the atlantis and i was told i have to get my own shuttle. thank you

Has anyone tried the Ocean Club Tuesday night Seafood BBQ buffet? Is it worth the money?

Any comments on Mosaic? Is food that different from the other dinner buffets?

Are there excursions still available to the Blue Lagoon Island?

Any comments on the Glass Bottom Boat?

Has anyone taken young children (<5yrs) to the Dolphin Encounter either at Atlantis or Blue Lagoon Island?

Has anyone stayed at the newest addition "The Reef"? Any comments?

Does anyone know if there is a way from the airport to atlantis that can accommodate a wheelchair? Our son is disabled and he has to stay in it and the wheelchair does not fold, thank you.

is there transportation from airport to hotel (atlantis coral towers)

thank you frank

One thing I do spend money on is good food and wine but compared to Mexico the Carribean and in particular Nassue is overpriced for seafood. Considering they can walk out and get it. I have never in my life met a small pan pizza that was worth 23.00. Flour water tommato cheese ??

Compared to Paradise Island and Cable Beach Mexico is a bargin

is it worth the cost to go to the resort if you are not a guest if not worth it what else is there to do there?

how much does it cost to do the waterpark and the aquariums at the resort if you are not a guest there?

I will be traveling to Paradise Island in Feb. I am staying at a resort within walking distance to Atlantis...I know Atlantis allows tourists access to their hotel and aquariun (with a charge)...do they allow tourists access to the waterpark if you pay a charge as well?

Is there a fee to take this bus to Atlantis if you are staying at the hotel?

Hey how ya? The casino at Atlantis do they have Holdem Poker? No limit or fixed limit poker?

Hi, I'm trying to plan a vacation/wedding in May 2007 for my family of 7. My 12 yr old son is in a wheelchair and I need to find out how to get him from the airport to the Atlantis resort in Nassau. I don't care what it costs, we need to make sure we can get him to the resort or we can't book the trip. The wheelchair does not fold up but can sit in the back of a van. Can you help?

thanks,
michele

The only way I can go on a family vacation to Atlantis is if I'll be able to send and recieve email and use my (or a rented) cell phone. I know it's not the point of going, but it's the only to be sure I'll have a business when I get home. Does anyone have any first hand experience? Any tips?
Thank you.

Are there Pharmices on paridise island

Anyone have any suggestions for transporting a big group (12) FAMILY AND 4 FRIENDS FROM PI airport to Comfort suites/Atlantis and visa versa that is not to expensive? and any suggestions on reasonable but good places to eat!

Thanks Jenny

We are cruising to Nassau and want to go to the Aquarium and marine habitat at Atlantis. Is it free or how do we get tickets to go?

Can anyone suggest a place on Paradise Island to buy reasonably priced beachwear such as women's bathing suits or board shorts? Is this sort of stuff readily available?

Finding stuff at home in the off season is impossible!

Thanks.

Are the beaches open in the evening for lounging around, walking or enjoying some drinks?

AM PLANNING A TRIP TO ATLANTIS RESORT IN PARADISE ISLAND IN THE BAHAMAS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY HAVE INCURRED ANY DAMAGE TO THE RECENT HURRICANES?

We were supposed to go to Breezes on 9/11, but it got canceled due to Frances. Now we are rescheduled to go on 10/2. What do you think are chances are, due to Jeanne coming? How are things looking, we really dont hear much about the Bahams, & whats actually going on there, just FL. If we are able to go, do you think that everything will be open & we will have things to do? How is the island now, I have looked on bahamas.com & everything seems to be open, but you never know.
Any info would be great !!!! Thanks

Please help !!

THANKS A MILLION.

Hi guys,
About to start a Masters in September so my parents (the nice people that they are) are taking me to the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. I've been looking at the website and other reviews and stuff and I'm sure that I can find things to do during the day. I just wondered if anyone knew of anything to do on the night (probably on or close to the resort). I'll be by myself so if anyone else is around between 16-30 August give me a shout! :)

Cheers Guys.
