Eleuthera or Atlantis Resort or Florida Keys?

We're working over some spring break (week of April 16 -) vacation plans for
our family (2 adults, 2 kids - 14 boy and 11 girl).

Son wants very warm, crystal clear water with very nice beaches.
Activities desired include skim boarding, boogie boarding, snorkeling, jet
skiing, sailing, ....
A resort setting with ability to escape from the sun frequently (we're very
white, well two of us are).

Son is working on 3 ideas at the moment: Florida Keys (beaches are weak);
Atlantis Resort (expensive, but cool water slides); and Eleuthera.

Price is a relative concern. Comfort. Convenience. Fun, fun, fun. These
are a few of my favorite things.

Presently considering flying to a destination and staying for 5 days. Might
consider a cruise with mulitple destinations, but don't want to lose out on
beach time.

Any ideas, thoughts, etc.?

Go to paradise island , stay at the Riu and walk to Atlantis. Beaches
great food is great and less disney than atlantis

If you go to Paradise Island stay at the Atlantis. The hotel and
facilities were wonderful. I would go back in a minute. I would not
recommend staying elsewhere and trying to use the Atlantis.

If the Keys are not wiped out from Hurricane Wilma it is also a great
place to go.
