Atlantis Bahamas in Nassau’s Paradise Island is a piece of heaven on earth. And so it is with reason, I needed to write about this amazing place. Personally, I can’t say enough about this resort. There’s so much to see and do… or not. You can pretty much just settle in and enjoy your stay. This resort is truly a gem. An almost perfect place, I say almost, because as we all know, perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Now, I must add, there isn’t anything negative to report that would taint my rating (4.5 out of 5 stars).
I could write a book on the Atlantis Bahamas resort because there is so much to say. But I prefer to leave some things to one’s imagination. So I’ll try to keep it brief. This post is for you, if you are looking to escape to a warmer climate this winter. Look no further, this resort has it all and then some.
Do not wait until you are dying to go on vacation. I think if I had to give you one piece of advice, that would be it. We put things off. We do not mean too, but we do. We carry around the assumption that there is plenty of time to do whatever needs to be done.
Early this year, we decided it was time to take a trip. Okay, to be honest, a few people had to convince us it was time. “If anything, for sanity’s sake,” they recited in unison, without a second thought. Well, I must confess, I had my reservations, but in the same breath, I really needed a getaway to experience normality.
ATLANTIS BAHAMAS RESORT | GARDEN OF EDEN
Now, whenever I travel, I usually spend most of my time parking my keister on the beach, but you can also find me wondering throughout the resort. This is when I take in the gardens, the trails, and the architecture, marveling at the splendid buildings. I admit, this resort brings the lost world of Atlantis to life, giving us glimpses into a place we can only fantasize about.
What is there to say about this palatial resort? Where do I even begin? For starters, its location, which is a sight for sore eyes, along with the balmy climate, the swaying palms, the eye-catching turquoise ocean, and the white powdery sand. However, it doesn’t end there. Pathways seamlessly interweave throughout this parklike resort. The waterfalls add to the breathtaking views as it captivates one’s attention, delivering a sense of peace and relaxation. All along the pathways are lush flora and fauna, meticulously kept by the groundskeepers.
Over the years, pre-Covid, I’ve been to the Dominican, Mexico, and Cuba, and stayed in some fine resorts and some… well, let’s just say, not what I expected. And I just have to mention, this place has exceeded all of my expectations. Because of this alone, the Atlantis Bahamas resort is now one of my favorite destinations in the Caribbean. Our room was grand, clean, comfortable, and the view was stunning from the 16th floor of the Royal. The buffet at the Poseidon’s was amazing.
Just a side note, be prepared to spend. This isn’t an all-inclusive, so everything comes at a price. The key is to keep at the back of your mind that you are so worth it and deserve to splurge now and again.
DREAMY DESTINATION
We stayed at the resort the entire time, while a few within our group ventured out to sightsee and shop. But with so much within the confines of this grand resort, there’s no need to go anywhere else. Besides, I was more keen on rest and relaxation. Just wanting to kick back, drink in the sunshine, and bask in the warmth it delivered, barefoot, leaving a trail of prints along the shoreline.
A WELCOMING RESORT
I also took time to chat with the pleasant Bahamians working at the resort, sharing pics with anyone who took an avid interest in where I come from. “How do you even survive?” they’d ask with a shocked expression, after viewing the images of the stark naked branches, massive snowbanks, and no signs of life. “I know,” I said, cringing, as I was having flashbacks, left to question why I live where I do. Okay, I digress, for silently sitting at the back of my mind there was a knowing of what was waiting for me back home. I had to pinch myself to make sure this wasn’t a dream. The pinching method, as I would refer to it, served as a reminder that the only thing that really mattered was this glorious moment.
The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been, and all the memories we’ve made along the way.
Heavenly, Atlantis Bahamas is indeed paradise, where friendly people welcome you, happily catering to your every whim. An ideal place to just rest and relax, or to explore and absorb the breathtaking scenery. Just let the tepid turquoise ocean entice you to live a little. Why not take the plunge?
A vacation helps to relieve stress and boredom, gives us a change of scenery, provides us with adventure, and helps to bring us closer to the people in our lives.
