Trip to Atlantis Resort at Paradise Island Bahamas






We spent Thanksgiving in the Bahamas at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. The resort is beautiful! There are non stop activities for kids and adults. There are numerous water slides and pools to play in. There is a section called "The Dig" which is really cool. It's like visiting the ruins of Atlantis. You can swim with dolphins, rent paddle boats, visit the spa, eat at any of the numerous restaurants, shop at the high end stores or even gamble in the casino. We would get a taxi and go into Nassau most days to eat because the food was better and cheaper. We tried the conch. I didn't care for it. It's kinda rubbery and didn't have much flavor. We went on a glass bottom boat tour of the harbor. We saw the homes of Oprah Winfrey, Anna Nicole Smith, one once owned by Elvis and a few other celebrities. It's a fun place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Next time we go the kids will definitely go too.
