Best Hotels in Paradise Island, Bahamas

The Cove at Atlantis offers some of the more upscale accommodations within the Atlantis Bahamas resort complex. Suites at this Marriott outpost include queen- or king-sized beds, private balconies and spacious marble bathrooms. If you're looking to up the luxury factor, book a Sapphire, Presidential or Penthouse suite, which offer personal butler service. Guests at The Cove also enjoy access to all of Atlantis' amenities, including the Mandara Spa and a casino with more than 700 slot machines. For seclusion from the rest of your Atlantis vacationers, steal away to the traveler-approved Cove Pool, which boasts an adults-only, 9,000-square-foot pool and 20 private cabanas. After you've soaked up some rays, take your pick between more than 20 on-site restaurants and numerous bars and lounges. Overall, past visitors praised the on-site facilities (covered by the resort fee) but weren't as complementary of the staff, citing the subpar service as not worth the high prices paid. To offset the cost of your stay, use accrued Marriott Bonvoy points to pay for your room.

For residential-style villas within the Atlantis complex, previous guests say you can't go wrong with the Harborside Resort. You'll have your pick between spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, all featuring private patios, washers and dryers and kitchenettes. Past visitors say the large rooms and convenient amenities make Harborside an excellent choice for vacationing clans. Families will also enjoy the fact that access to the 141-acre water park, 11 pools, three beaches and marine exhibits (among other resort attractions and activities) are all included in Harborside's room rates. But while lodgers are quick to praise the included resort amenities and attentive staff, reviewers aren't as complimentary of the food. Guests say the restaurants (of which there are 21) are over-priced. Reviewers also warn that your pocketbook won't find much relief at the on-site grocery store.

Compared to the luxe Reef at Atlantis and the adults-only Cove at Atlantis, The Royal at Atlantis is the most kid-friendly branch of the Atlantis Bahamas properties, starting with one of the largest open-air marine habitats in the world (which resides in the lobby). Recent guests praised The Royal at Atlantis' rooms, which feature flat-screen high-definition TVs, 24-hour room service and French balconies that open to harbor or ocean views. But the best part about staying here is having access to Atlantis amenities like the 141-acre water park, one of the Caribbean's largest casinos, the Mandara Spa and an 18-hole golf course. Though there are 24 on-site restaurants, plus coffee shops, bars and lounges, previous visitors recommend going into Nassau (about 5 miles south of the property) for meals to avoid shelling out a pretty penny for pricey meals at the resort. Travelers can also cash in accrued Marriott Bonvoy points for stays here.

The Reef at Atlantis, a member of Marriott's Autograph Collection, caters to the Paradise Beach vacationer looking for a touch of luxury. Guests can choose between spacious, well-appointed studios, suites and penthouses, which all feature private balconies or terraces that open to views of the Nassau Harbour or the ocean. Every accommodation includes a kitchenette or kitchen and a large master bath. In addition to the deluxe rooms and suites, guests have access to Atlantis Bahamas resort activities like an 18-hole golf course, a casino with 700-plus slot machines, a 141-acre water park and the Dolphin Cay marine habitat. And when you need to soothe your appetite, Atlantis touts 21 restaurants and 19 bars and lounges offering everything from American barbecue to Bahamian fare to upscale Japanese cuisine. Despite the staggering amount of choices, guests say the overall Atlantis experience – especially dining – can be overpriced. To save some coin on meals, guests recommend stopping at a grocery store on your way to the resort or heading to neighboring Potter's Cay for authentic (and budget-friendly) Bahamian dishes. You can also pay for your room with Marriott Bonvoy points.

Although each Atlantis Bahamas branch shares access to a water park and a golf course, The Coral at Atlantis touts perhaps the most important amenity: An ideal location. Centrally situated amidst Atlantis' lagoons on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, this family-friendly Autograph Collection property – which was renovated in 2017 – is steps from the Coral Pool, the resort's casino and the shops at Crystal Court and the Marina Village. Because of its abundance of  activities, various entertainment options and 21 restaurants, recent guests liken The Coral at Atlantis to an immobile cruise ship, without the endless supply of prepaid dining. However, several past visitors lamented the high room rates. To help cut down costs, members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can use points to pay for rooms here.

If you want to be near the activities and entertainment available at Atlantis Bahamas but want to steer clear of the resort's high prices, then consider staying at this adults-only Paradise Island property. Recent guests recommend purchasing day passes for the adjacent water park and spending your evenings at the resort casino. When you tire of the crowds at Atlantis, head back to Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island. This RIU outpost occupies prime Paradise Island real estate and offers aquatic activities like windsurfing and kayaking, all-inclusive dining and the Renova Spa. After a busy day, retreat to your ocean view suite, which features free Wi-Fi access, a minibar and a flat-screen TV. Most accommodations also boast balconies or terraces. Though past visitors raved about the well-maintained lodgings and picturesque views, some said customer service was hit or miss.

Sunrise Beach Club and Villas is a 3.5 star hotel located at Casino Drive in Bahamas. It has a 4.5 overall guest rating based on 484 reviews.

Travelers who want to enjoy Atlantis Bahamas' facilities without staying at the property will likely find the Comfort Suites Paradise Island an appealing option. At this all-suite Nassau hotel in the Bahamas, visitors can lounge by the pool, sip a drink at the swim-up pool bar, do business in the boardroom or savor casual Caribbean fare at Crusoe's Restaurant. What's more, guests have complimentary access to all of Atlantis' casino games, pools, shops, restaurants and kids amenities, which sit within walking distance of the property. Previous lodgers praised Crusoe's cuisine, adding that its meals are reasonably priced, especially when compared to those served at Atlantis. Another plus: the free breakfast buffet offered every morning. However, some wished the on-site pool was open longer and reported inconsistent suite cleanings from housekeeping. Each suite features traditional decor and amenities like a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker, free Wi-Fi access and a minifridge. Keep in mind: Additional daily charges ($5 per person for cleaning services and $17.87 per person for utilities) are added to all room rates. To offset these fees, members of the Choice Privileges loyalty program can use accrued points to pay for their rooms.
