beaches at Atlantis
Thinking about going to the Bahamas next year. I always hear that Atlantis
has great pools, but how is the beach area? How does it compare to other resorts? This will be my second trip to the Carribbean. Went to Aruba 2yrs ago(stayed at the Marriott) and loved it. I was thinking of going back, but why not go somewhere new? Thanks Glen |

I believe I'm correct that the beaches are all public. grandma Rosalie |

We have been to Atlantis twice and the Holiday Inn that previously sat on the same beach once before that. I like the beach a lot for swimming and activities. It's not a palm-lined beauty, but it has pretty nice sand and water and it isn't too rough so swimming is easy. Far down and to the left is a very nice protected lagoon which is even better for swimming. For other reasons, we will not return to Atlantis. We mostly went there for our son's entertainment. The pools may be nice, but one reason we won't go back is they close the pools at 5PM now! That's ridiculous. Another is you can't use cash at the outside bars. You either have to use a credit card or charge it to your room. They said it was because employees were stealing money. That's their problem - don't make me pay for it. -- - Kyle |

Can be rough as it's right on the Atlantic.
Quite high waves when we were there. Cable Beach is protected by Paradise Island. Atlantis is also pricey. You can get better deals on Cable Beach and visit Paradise Island/Atlantis by boat or cab. Even walk there. There's Marriott, Radisson, Breezes, etc. on Cable Beach. Glen wrote: Thinking about going to the Bahamas next year.

Nassau and Paradise Island are right in the center area of the Bahamas. If I had to guess I'd say that body of water was the NE Providence Channel (from memory without looking at a chart). Quite high waves when we were there. Well that can be true. Cable Beach is protected by Paradise Island. There can be such high waves at the entrance to the harbour between Paradise Island and Nassau that big ships aren't safe to make an entrance. But that's a bit unusual. Atlantis is also pricey.
