Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Paradise Island

This was our first Sandals vacation and it was a great one. We enjoyed it enough to book another one for Barbados next April while we were there. The food was good for the most part. The seafood restaurant was under renovation while we were there which took over the lunch and dinner buffet unfortunately. Pool chair saving started at the ridiculous times between 5am-6am between the alarm setters and butlers who were first to swipe them with the room coolers. Kind of annoying but as long as we could grab one for our things we enjoyed being in the pool for the most part. Don’t expect a chair at the quiet pool at all unless you have a butler. Music from the dj at the LOUD pool plays the music so loud at times that you can’t have a conversation or just relax let alone be able to communicate with a bar tender at the pool bar so they screw up loads of drinks which really isn’t their fault with how loud they blast the music in these poor bartenders ears. Staff was very nice overall but don’t expect anything in a hurry cause they’re definitely on island time but so were we so life goes on. Their piece of a private island across the way (5 min. boat ride from their own pier) is a good grab for a half day or so with a pool, a calm, clean beach and water and a restaurant with a pool bar and patio bar as well. The lack of children at the resort is worth its weight in gold between all activities and restaurants. That alone is probably worth sticking to the Sandals business model. Book it.

All the staff were great for the most part some that stood out were the Piano Bar Bartenders, especially “happy” when he was not there Thursday people would aske for him and when they were told he was not there they would leave. He is great with people, has a great personality and someone can explain a drink to him and he can make it. The other young lady, I can’t think of her name, had been there a short time was also awesome with a great personality. Carlton the Bar manager was great and we seen him at different places all day helping out and making sure the bars had what they needed. There was Female Bar Manager, the night of the 24th, that was the most un-professional of any of the staff we encountered our entire trip. She was not concerned about what the bartenders needed but upset about people leaving the pool and dropping glasses off at piano bar. When the bartender tried to take them out she made her return them to the piano bar. All in front of patrons at the bar. Two hours before we left Dante, from loyalty and travel, found us by the pool and explained to us how the process worked to book another stay without actually locking in a specific date. Without him doing this we would not have scheduled one, because of our changing schedules. On our way out we were fortunate enough to talk to Ricky Ricardo and he was one of the nicest people we met here, that is saying a lot. He was a wealth of knowledge about the island and solidified our decision to come back.

The property was absolutely stunning and gorgeous! It was so well kept! Absolutely everyone, no matter what their job was there ,was extremely friendly and kind and willing to do anything they could to make your stay great! The food in every restaurant we ate at was absolutely delicious and servedso beautifully. No matter who served us they were so kind! We were so impressed and we had such a good time. We were there for five days! We were never bored even just meeting someone in the hall, they would say good morning or good evening or can I do anything for you Love the fact that there was a quiet pool and another pool if you wanted more action. Love the fact that it was only 21 and older so you didn’t have to listen to kids. The variety of foods were outstanding and every restaurant was different! I cannot say enough good things about Sandals!!!! They had shows at night that were so entertaining! Everything was just gorgeous! They went out of your way to set things up for you and make everything so easy so you didn’t have to do a thing! They treated us like a king and a queen! Whatever you wanted even if it was more work for them to go get, they did it for you!!! It was the most perfect vacation place we have ever been to! From the resort itself to everyone that worked there to the restaurants to the shopping to the grounds to the wonderful rooms, to the ability to take you to another part of the island. I absolutely highly highly recommend this resort!!!!!

To many pool chairs taken by the butler service and then not being used by the guest, while other guests were left with no chairs to use around the pool.

We loved the organization. From the service at the airport office, the transportation, the handling of our luggage and the service at check in - check out. We loved the food, the facilities, the pools, the sea. The only thing that was perhaps missing was having someone who speaks Spanish. Luckily we found an intern named Alan who spoke Spanish and helped us a lot. Although the staff who attended to us did not speak Spanish, they made a great effort to understand us and for us to understand them, but there are always some details, especially when one has just arrived that one likes to hear in their own language so as not to miss anything. Once one is enjoying the services of the resort it is easier to make oneself understood. For the rest, except for a waitress who surely got nervous because she did not understand us, everything was excellent. This resort is excellent for couples or groups of friends looking for a quiet and pleasant time.

Nice property. There are a few waterslides, a jumping rock, a lazy river and a small beach at your finger tips. Enough to keep the kids occupied for certain. The hotel wasn’t too busy in June when we were there - could get seats easily before cruise- goers arrived for the day. The water sports are an extra fee and the restaurants on site are ridiculously expensive unless you’re okay with $400 dinners for a family of 4. Always a 10% VAT fee added and always an 18% service charge added no matter what you’re buying a where. There are a few places within walking distance but they are only open when the cruises are at port. All inclusive paperwork seen at check in but adv to us that it is not an option. The rooms are clean and have a beautiful view but you only are allowed one chair on the balcony for ‘safety purposes’ so that’s a bummer. Funny because our son was hurt on premises bc it’s so slippery but the chair is a concern on the balcony. Some of the staff is nice and some not - like anywhere else. There a nice infinity edge adult pool on the 4th floor which I couldn’t check out bc traveled w kids and a rooftop bar that was closed out entire stay. Buffet is also turning in his grave that there’s no swim up bar here. Bahamas just gorgeous water. It was a a nice trip overall.

The resort was very neat, room was well made and clean and beautiful. All rooms facing the ocean. Amazing resort for children and preteens, the water park, lazy river, the 10feet jump into the pool, jacouzi and the best part for my kids was the surfing simulator, that was a hit. For adults, an infinity pool and jacuzzi with a bar nearby. The activities on the beach all included in our stay. The resort is located near a lot of activities, so walking distance. We had an amazing week, my 2 preteens were never bored. Our only issue was that the toilet was clogged twice, and they came to fix it. My overall complaint is that the restaurants at the hotel were super pricy, a simple burger is around $32.

We enjoyed the location of this property. It was walkable to downtown, shopping and various restaurants. The view from our balcony was wonderful. As well as a beautiful view of the beach and we were able to watch the various cruise ships come and go. One negative was the fact that the hotel sells day passes to the cruise ship passengers so that they can use the beach and pool facilities. We were there for 5 days and were unable to find a chair at the beach or pool area for 4 out of the 5 days. Margaritaville tends to cater to the cruise ship passengers while neglecting the guests staying at their hotel. I would not consider staying here again.

Room service could do a better job with cleaning. Staff friendly but waiting for the 2 orange juices and 2 mimosas by the pool area/infinity pool by the beach took like 25 minutes and there was 3 bartenders and just 4 of us.

I want to start to give Kudos to Mark who was at the front desk as we checked-in. Mark was super friendly, very professional and has such a positive vibe. Now in regards to our stay, Initially I was quite upset with their houskeeping service as I had an issue that was not resolved until I was superbly furious and had to physically head downstairs to request to talk at some point to the general manager on our 3rd day, however, that changed when finally the management team seriously listened and resolved the incompetency as it was the simplest issue that could have been resolved without the need for all the fuss. But kudos to the mangement team and I appreciate when they followed up and made our stay a more relaxed one The facilities are good the hotel is cleaned and maintained quite frequently including the pools. Most all staff was very friendly and helpful. The concierge was great and helped us reserve an excursion with ease. The food options/restaurants were limited and sometimes might not fully operate,food was decently well. The great thing about the Hotel's location is that you'll have other food options that are a 5 or 10 minute walk around downtown or you can take a taxi; you also get to see the city and access other places like the straw market. Frankly, we won't visit the Bahamas again due to how expensive it is and not as what we expected, but If I ever do I would certainly stay at the Margaritaville. Suggestion: Install filtered water stations on each floor

Was great, thy knew a louder geoup was coming so they moved us to a quieter spot with an upgrade. Super friendly, changed the linens every 2 days. Th pool was nice and the grounds were very secure. Beautiful landscaping.

We were there as a family for a memorial service. The peoperty was besutiful, quiet and the staff was helpful, kind and very friendly. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect for a family to stay and spread out. Only issue was no one was ever in the office.

The atmosphere was amazing my wife loved it will definitely be booking again. The only thing we didn’t favor too much was the minor noise that the air conditioner was making whilst running

Although the staff was very pleasant, the property is in need of many upgrades. Every time we showered, the water leaked. We had to use every towel available on the bathroom floor. The furniture in the room was old and rusty and the tile was chipped. The pool deck and poolside furniture could definitly use an upgrade too. I wouldn't recommend dining at the hotel restaurant. The food was horrible but the drinks were good.

The staff was very welcoming especially the welcome guy i believe his name was clyde. . Our room was clean and comfortable. We felt totally safe . The down side was the cement around pool needed painted and pool furniture was dingy and worn . Beach towels were in need of being replaced. Overall our stay was good and a great location . We walked everywhere. Beach was right across the street. Weather could not have been better!

The staff was kind and professional, and the hotel couldn't be closer to the beach. The pool and poolside tables are lovely, and the gym is well-maintained.

Very nice staff. The pool area was very run down and dirty. Chairs were stained. Pool water was a little cloudy.

From the moment my husband and I entered the hotel we felt so appreciated and welcome. I have the Marriott Bonvoy app on my phone and was able to put in request for room type, etc before arriving. Kendra checked us in, so sweet, accommodating, professional, personable! We mentioned we were celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary, and could not believe the response we received. All of the employees were saying "Happy Anniversary!" as we passed them in the hallway, the bar, etc. They made us feel so special. Clyde, the welcoming committee connoisseur, bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed, and more....so great. I've read other reviews saying the hotel is old, worn down, needs remodeling, etc and that the employees are not caring. Well, I believe those people are just unhappy, having totally unrealistic expectations. The hotel is beachfront, and we all know how unforgiving the ocean, winds, etc are on a home, building. I did not see/experience any of the falling apart parts of this hotel. They have a beautiful outdoor pool, with a lot of lounge chairs, a bar, etc. We had a corner room, upper floor, with views of the beach across the street. Our king bed was super comfy, even had a mini-fridge. Nice soft towels, the AC worked great, and was spotlessly cleaned. I can highly recommend the Marriott Courtyard Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Hotel, it was a wonderful visit and would love to stay again in the future.

This is on the opposite end of the island from to loud noise of town. Get a rental car if you will be there long. Only 1 restaurant on premise. We loved the pink Octopus restaurant and the beach club. Totally worth the daily fee for access. I think the listing should mention bottled water. We were told at check-in, after our can had left that the water was not safe to drink from the tap and we had 30 min. Until the dock cafe close sed to go get water or we would need another taxi to a store outside the resort. We brought coffee but there was no coffee maker, only filters and a tea kettle. We made due using the filters and a strainer. Everything else in the unit seemed brand new like it had just been constructed. Right next to the pool and a pretty walk to the beach. The marina is beautiful and the views from the restaurant were amazing. We had a great time with perfect weather. We would return.

It's remote, quiet, and luxurious. We enjoy grocery shopping and preparing our own meals. The beach is exceptional.

They need to properly sanitize . I think mold is in the building. I couldn’t stop sneezing.

Great property with easy check in and a safe location. We will be back.

Condo was impeccable. Very clean with great amenities. Beach was nice and the gym facility was very good. Grocery store 1/2 mile away was a huge plus. Be prepared to rent a car to get to food or activities.

The apartment we stayed overlooks the pool. Access to the beach is easy. The beach area is fantastic, very quiet. There is a restaurant next to the beach area. The resort provides chairs and umbrellas.

Our (3) adjoining room (sleeps 6) but has a pull out so can accomidate larger groups came with dishes, pots/pans, large fridge, oven, etc so prepared some of our meals. There are also a couple bbq grills between the pool and beach so cooked fish one evening with what we caught from the fishing charter we did that day. A few blocks away is the Sandyport Village it has a couple restaurant/bars, a coffee/smoothie/breakfast place, mini mart (Chippys) with alcohol, sunscreen, snacks and awesome Jamacan Patties! The resort has snorkel gear, basketball, etc which is great not needing to pack those. The resort beach and (3) pools and (2) water slides are a few steps away and has a pool bar with an awesome staff. Tanya and Bas were so nice and really took care of us. Note ATM on property but can walk about 1/2 miles to another area that has a supermarket, bank/ATM, Wendys, bathing suit/sporting store, etc. Also, that is where you can catch the bus for $2 and go to downtown, fish market, Atlantis, etc.

Unpretentious but immaculate, extraordinary views from low rise bahama cottages of white sand, calm turquoise lagoons, canals, and pools with fun private beach bar with scratch tropical drinks, cold beer, panini and other foods and special events that make meeting other guests relaxed and fun. Plenty of loungers and private hammocks. Its what you see in the pics but so much better! Chill professional staff, total serenity and security, anything you need or want five minute walk away, including a marina, many shops, pharmacy, bank, watercraft rentals, four very good restaurants, one serving a semi-private snorkel beach. We’ve traveled great islands, and 30 minutes from Miami, this can’t be beat for families and couples wanting a serene, joyful waterside experience without loud crowds and faux celebrity amenities. Rooms larger than most and can be joined very pretty, not worn, comfortable with very good amenities. Ice, laundry nearby. We loved #712 with a large patio three steps down to the sand, hammock, and lagoon, 6 palms to the pool bar. Really great front desk and concierge. Every staff we met was polite, immaculately dressed, genuinely happy with their job, unobtrusive, and eager to share the serenity and beauty of their end of the island. Don’t go here to party hardy, go to Nassau. Go here to chill and return home very relaxed with a smile on your face.

Our stay at SandyPort Beach Resort was relaxing and delightful. The property is very conveniently located in a compound that has multiple meal and restaurant options including a super cute coffee shop that is a great cocktail lounge in the evenings. There are multiple water options within walking distance from the hotel—a beach, a lagoon, and a pool area that even has a two slides. The resort has a comfortable homey vibe that feels relaxing and safe. Oh and the chicken wings by the pool side restaurant are delicious! We had an issue with our door lock while we were there and they immediately sent a repairman to fix it within minutes. The room was simple but beautiful. You can tell it is a little worn with age but they have done a nice facelift in the rooms. All in all I would certainly return.

The location was wonderful near a gas station with store called "chippy's", wine tasting shop and other shopping boutiques. The resort was more intimate than the larger resorts and felt more private and exclusive. The lagoon and private beach was wonderful to wake up to every morning. The three pools with water slides were perfect for the kids. The pool side bar called the "Conch shack" had great food, drinks and friendly bartender staff and chef. There were several restaurants close by and walking distance from the beautiful cable beach. I will stay here every time I visit the Nassau.

British Colonial Here is our honest review of our stay at the British Colonial Hotel, and Downtown Nassau; The Hotel itself is very nice, having been recently renovated in 2022. The lobby is gorgeous, as are the restaurant and bar. Very tasteful and classy. The grounds and pool areas are immaculate and lovely. 1 main pool and a secondary shallow pool for kids, (although we didn’t see many kids there during our week there), presumably due to the cost. We had no problem finding lounge chairs, or a good spot by the pool. The private beach area is spectacular…gorgeous turquoise and super-clear water. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a nicer beach with such powdery sand. Great views of the port and cruise ship terminal too. Location is an easy 10-minute walk to downtown. Although this may seem to be a good thing, the whole downtown core becomes a ghost town after 5pm. According to the locals, this is because the cruise ships re-embark around that time. We struggled to find any decent sit-down restaurants for dinner every night…very frustrating! You must take a taxi to find a nice place to eat. Even Senor Frog’s was closed after 5. Our room was a decent size, but only had one chair, and no couch. We had opted for the king ocean view, and got a partial ocean view, but a great view of the cruise terminal, so we could see the comings and goings of some cool huge ships. The room had some cleanliness issues, mostly that the shower had some mold. Otherwise, it was okay. Staff are super-friendly

The hotel is wonderfully located at the heart of Nassau, you can grab a bite to eat, take a stroll to nearby beaches, catch tours. It's an architectural marvel from the outside and tastefully furnished inside. It was a comfortable stay. I also loved the beach, it was quiet for Nassau with chairs and umbrellas, the pool area is also super gorgeous for a good day of relaxation. Special thanks to the hotel, I requested an early check-in and it was organized in time for my arrival. Finally, the staff were all amazing, from the doorman to the front desk and even poolside. This journey is part of a Travel Guru Life Expedition

Absolutely gorgeous hotel with staff that are out of this world! Wonderful dinner in the tavern, great lunch by the pool, beautifully kept pool and beach areas! I am a solo traveler and it was very safe! I highly recommend!

Recently renovated hotel with clean rooms, clean facility, helpful and super-polite staff as well as a great clean beach. Poolside was also clean and full of energy. We spent most of our time by the beach which had pristine waters. Rooms were clean and well attended to during our stay. Overall, the beachside was quiet. The hotel has an app that you can send your requests for any type of room service. The poolside lunch and drink options were good and well-priced so we did not have to get anything from outside. The fitness room was well maintained and a lot of good equipment options. Also, the hotel offers complimentary canoes to be enjoyed by the guests. The complimentary wi-fi connection was fast and seamless.

Overall, I think the British colonial is good value for moneys. It’s a beautiful hotel with a lovely small beach with plenty of chairs available. It has been renovated recently and looks new and fresh. The location is convenient to downtown. However, I have mixed feelings: here are the pros and cons Pros • Beautiful beach with soft sand and a gentle bottom • Friendly, welcoming staff • Good on-site dining options and a coffee bar • Walkable distance to downtown • Outdoor amenities including a fire pit and movie nights • Comfortable beds and quality pillows Cons • Adult pool is small and shallow • No on-site spa (access available at Margaritaville) • Cabanas cost $250/day but offer no shade • Limited shade overall; umbrellas are closed in even light wind, unlike other hotels with better solutions • Hallway noise is easily heard in rooms • inconsistent poolside service • No airport shuttle; transportation costs $50 USD each way • Very limited area for swimming or paddleboarding • Constant looped lounge music on the beach, plus noise from Señor Frogs and neighboring bandstand • Cruise ship horns can be disruptive and impact water safety • TVs do not support Netflix or paid movie rentals • Extra charges at check-in and mandatory Visa deposit slow the process and frustrate guests • Had to request an itemized bill multiple times

This was the our 1st visit to the Bahamas. The Baha Mar was the perfect resort for an amazing experience. It was perfect for couples and families (adult and children). The resort is beautiful, sprawling and incredibly maintained. They had a ton of pools, so every day was a different experience. There is plenty of comfy conversational seating to just sit, relax and enjoy the scenery. Most impressive was the staff. So friendly and attentive. Everyone works so hard to make the experience wonderful. Every meal was delicious, fresh and served with enthusiasm and a smile. The pool and beach attendants made sure that all guests were comfortable. We were so impressed with the lifeguards - so on top of keeping everyone safe. We spent one day in absolute luxury at the Baha Mar beach club and reserved one of their Waterbeds which overlooked a beautiful infinity pool with an incredible view of the beach. The cost of the bed is credited towards food and drinks. Was such a special experience. We loved the people, the waterpark, the beach, the food and the resort so much we are already planning our next return.

the resort is beautiful, clean & very large our room in the East building was awesome with beautiful views of the ocean, beach & pool areas. we had a large deck with comfortable chairs. we had a very large bedroom & bathroom with a nice living room. It did include a butler for some services needed the restaurants were delicious but it is pricey, Marcus is the best but you have to try Costa at the Rosewood cabanas were nice to have since it was a busy week of vacation with people with kids. there are adults area pools all the staff was so friendly & helpful love this place, looking forward to coming again!!!

I was extremely nervous about staying here after reading reviews, but my experience was great. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Although I would have preferred a better view of the ocean, I was overall satisfied with the accommodations. The staff on the property was very friendly and personable, contrary to the reviews I read before arrival. This is a family-friendly property, featuring seven pools with access to the adjacent hotel's (SLS) pools, including a water park. There is also a flamingo sanctuary and aviary. In addition, there are several restaurants and shops to enjoy.

We had a wonderful experience during our stay, and a big part of that was thanks to Anthia, our poolside waitress. She is an incredibly kind and professional lady who made us feel welcome and well cared for. Her attention to detail, warm attitude, and genuine smile added a personal touch that made our time by the pool even more enjoyable. Anthia was always attentive without being intrusive, and she made sure we had everything we needed, often before we even had to ask. Excellent service from an excellent person. Thank you, Anthia! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The facilities are very well kept and everything is very clean. The amenities for the beach and pool are included and easily reachable/accessible. The pools were also nice and the temperature was awesome even later in the evening. The gym was also nice. The food at the restaurants was of good quality and the portions were generally big. I also appreciated the reusable water bottles that were given to us, and the many water stations available throughout the resort.

We specifically stayed in the One Particular Harbor residences which is affiliated with Margaritaville but a separate building and facilities. We loved this unit, lots of space and the grounds are beautifully maintained. These units in OPH have a private pool and beach which are not available to the cruise people coming ashore.

We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite with my husband & our two kids (12 & 5) and we had a wonderful stay at One Particular Harbor Margaritaville! The views were incredible and we loved watching the cruise ships come & go from our balcony. Getting to watch the sunsets was my favorite part of our stay! There’s a private pool, 2 beaches nearby, free access to the waterpark and many excursions that can be booked. We saved some money by going to the grocery store and getting breakfast items to cook at our suite! The staff is very friendly, the doormen were always so kind & funny and help you out with calling taxis if you need it! You won’t regret staying here, we already miss it being back home now ☹️ we’ll definitely be back!

Our room was exceptional! There was a pool right outside our building that was very quiet. There are 3 pools total on the property, one being an adult only rooftop infinity pool. Great views! Service was great! The sushi restaurant on the property was fantastic! The property is right in the heart of the city. Drinks were fantastic! And all of the staff were really wonderful.

Beautiful property with great amenities and friendly staff. They have their own beach area. We stayed at their residence building, One Particular Harbour, which had its own private beach and pool area. The pools are massive. The hotel itself is decorated tastefully and is modern. Our room is was very spacious and the balcony had excellent views overlooking the pool and ocean.

great location modern rooms facility at top level : fun park, private beach, pools and roof bars, infinity pool, surf pool etc staff on international level

Ocean West Boutique was a great place to stay! From the staff, being super polite and helpful to a great location this place has it all. You’re looking for a big resort like Atlantis and or Baha mar. This place is not for you. I’m not sure how great this location is for children as there is not a lot of amentities besides the pool on this property however, If you are looking for a Hideaway, that is a beautiful place to stay that’s quiet and quaint, then this is a place for you. There is a big hill that you need to walk up to get to and from the beach or any other location such as Sunset bar and a couple of other food places/downtown however, if you are not afraid to walk in sightsee you can definitely make this work without using any car or bus transportation. This place was a gem among other hotels and resorts on the island, and we were very blessed and happy to stay. There would definitely stay there again!!!!

Absolutely loved our stay here! Gorgeous views, nice pool, in walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. Some people didn’t like the beach but we felt it was perfect to lay out on, it was quiet and non overrun by tourists which was great. We spent every day there! We loved the Sunset beach club which is right down the hill from the hotel, do yourself a favor and get the shrimp tacos!! Such a pretty place to watch the sunset. We had the best 5 days here and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, we can’t wait to come back!!!

We were so thrilled with our hotel and room (Topaz). Super high ceilings, light and bright space. Plenty of character! Loved the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating! Attentive drivers on standby to take us to nearby restaurant, and pick us up when we had eaten. We opted for breakfast in our room - actually al fresco. It's too bad we only stayed one night. We will for sure be back! High Recommend!

This hotel has great staff, is very clean, and has a great pool and balcony views. It's a short (but not cheap at $30) drive to the nearest beach, which is also gorgeous, and there are a few good restaurants in walking distance.

I thought I was booking a quick airport hotel after our trip. What pleasant surprise! Beautiful grounds with a great pool and gorgeous ocean views. A quiet and relaxing oasis in the middle of hectic Nassau.

Atlantis is unbeatable in terms of the experience. Being able to walk outside and see pools full of stingrays and sharks and sea turtles is amazing. Being in walking distance of a dozen pools, multiple beaches, and of course free access to Aquaventure water slides. The stingray experience was amazing and the highlight of our trip! We got to stand in the pool and feed them as they swarmed around us, and then snorkel with them. I was a little upset about seeing the tiny pool full of sea turtles at first but later learned that they would be released to the wild. Specific to The Coral: some reviews say that it's too far from the water park. That's crazy, it's less than a 10 minute walk. The room was beautiful and super clean and having a full balcony was really nice.

We come twice a year for many many years My only issue I had with the trip this time the. Room wasn’t super clean the floors were very dirty, I was so happy to see floors instead of carpet but it was clean. And for the VERY first time the Coral pool was not well maintained there was a lot of garbage all around Fruit and straws in the children’s pool I kept having to grab stuff from my grandson to toss out of the pool That was really gross

We had an excellent stay at the Coral Atlantis. Staff and service were hospitable and excellent. Easy access to all the resort, waterpark, ocean and beach. Loved eating at Murray's Deli, reasonably priced and large, delicious meals for all times in the day. Shark bites (pool bar) near the pool had very good food as well and convenient with my son at the waterpark all day. Shake Shack was a go to option as well and delicious black and white shake (vanilla and chocolate fudge swirl). A number of reviews comment on how expensive it is to visit this island and resort but if you plan well with snacks, it is very comparable to a five star all inclusive elsewhere (money wise). Difference is Atlantis is way more fun, large waterpark with numerous slides and lots to do for kids especially. We also prefer ordering fresh meals rather than an overload of food at a buffet. Would highly recommend visiting Bahamas and the Atlantis Resort. Hope to see you again in the near future! Thank you for your warmth and hospitality! So much fun, so enjoyable!

We stayed at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. This is an incredible resort - perfect for family vacations (with kids of all ages), as well as for couples. They have a water park on the property, five beautiful beaches, more pools than we could count, shopping, a casino, multiple on-site restaurants, and outstanding exercise facility (with outdoor lap-pool), and an activities center where you can swim with dolphins (which we tried, and is so much fun). The only hitch with vacationing here (for us) was the expense. Everything here is expensive (from simple shopping to particularly meals) - you will pay New York City-level pricing for meals. But once you make peace with the expense, you will be hard-pressed for a better place to vacation.

I read so many not so good reviews about the coral. We stayed there 5 days and it was great, the people are so welcoming, our room was clean, big, with a nice view of the pool, the hotel has so many options for stores, restaurants, activities for the whole family. You have the casino, the theater, the marina, everything right there. The whole Atlantis property is great, we enjoyed the beach at the cove, the pools and the slides including leap of faith. Food is pricey but you can find some good options that are cost effective. Our bahamian experience was one that we will not forget!

Amazing location. Beautiful beach and tons of different pools to choose from for variety throughout our stay. I appreciated that families with small children tended to stay at the Grand Hyatt pools, but that even on those pools has spaces that were mainly adult. Vibe at the SLS was fun and lively. Rooms were very quiet and well appointed. Great WiFi. Property was gorgeous. Lots of restaurants to choose from. The staff were the best. Every single person was professional and friendly. They really went above and beyond in several situations to accommodate wherever they could. Also the fried chicken sandwich at Bungalow was amazing.

We had a pretty great time at SLS. We love the property because it has multiple pools and waterpark, which was really fun. We hit the waterpark a couple of times. It was me and my friend (2 females in 30s). It was nice being at the SLS pool because there were minimal children. However, we are disappointed to see that privilege pool was not open every day.

Had a wonderful time. I was a little worried after reading a lot of reviews about how expensive this place is, but I don’t know what everyone in those reviews is comparing it to my wife and I felt like the prices were fine. People have to take into consideration that it cost more for the islands to get things there than it does in the states. That being said we had a wonderful time. Lots of dining options. There are liquor stores nearby. They don’t carry a lot of brands of alcohol so your best bet is to get something at the airport and duty-free. But the people there are wonderful and very accommodating taxi drivers will stop off at any store for you. If you’re a beach person, there are lots of beach chairs and they will give you an umbrella if you ask for one at no charge lots of pool areas to sit at if you’re a pool person so many dining options on the beach a few different restaurants and food trucks. This was our first time in the Bahamas. I will definitely be going back and I will definitely be staying here whether you choose the SLS the grand Hyatt or the Rosewood you can use all the facilities that they each have to offer some of the Rosewood options aren’t available to other guests, but I didn’t think that was a big deal.

Staff is good. We stayed in a 2 bedroom residence. Half way through our stay when we ordered coffee for room service we realized a lot of amenities in the room were missing like the coffee maker. That was frustrating as was the wait for our room to get ready as you are hanging out in the lobby for hours with a bunch of others also waiting on their rooms. Outside of that, it was great. Beds were comfy. Noise was loud but not unpleasant. The place felt nice. Pool was fantastic. Property reminded me of the Wynn/Encore in Vegas. The place is pricey. We probably spent $50-$100/person on each meal. Making reservations a head of time is recommended but I felt none of the restaurants were that busy. The Baha mar pools/beaches are awesome. Not as big as Atlantis but it was probably not as long too which meant for quicker lines. Cabanas were nice. Book the beach club if you have older kids.

We just returned from 5 wonderful days at the SLS Baha Mar. We rented the one bedroom oven view residence and we loved it! It was perfect for my husband and I and our two teenagers. The hotel itself is beautiful and upscale and the room was large and perfect with two full bathrooms. It felt as if we had rented a condo because it cames with a full kitchen and washer dryer. This was my husband and my 4th trip to the Bahamas but the first time with the kids and it was by far our favorite because of all the things there is to do with kids including snorkeling, excursions, kayaks, paddle boards, pools, sanctuary, and more. We loved all the food and drinks that we had but keep in mind food and drink prices are OUTRAGEOUS. My salmon Caesar salad at the beachside Marcus pop up was $52! My margarita was $30! We ate at Sugar Factory, Katsuya, Cleo, and Pizza Lab and loved every meal. We enjoyed seeing sea turtles every day in the ocean and really enjoyed seeing the nurse shark in the wild during the snorkeling trip at the Catamaran excursion. We can’t wait to return!!

Very nice resort. We stayed in The Royal. The room was comfortable, but when we wanted to relax and watch TV, it rebooted randomly, and fairly frequently. The pools and rides were fun, but sometimes the lines and waiting for tubes was quite long. Food options were varied and all were good. All options were pretty expensive for what you get. I highly recommend getting the refillable cups at one of the bars around the pools because then you can get free refills of sodas. The availability of the free refill machines was pretty limited and they frequently ran out of ice.

Excellent views from our floor, good casino experience, hardly any drink offers, but still good, friendly staff at registration and pool, excellent experience in the pools, awesome drink service but need to improve room service. Overall a great place to stay, loved our stay!!!

Great time with the family. It is very big and overwhelming, and some services are a little slow. Hard to find places by the pool sometimes. But if you don't mind a little of that, overall, it's an incredible place for families who want to have a lot of fun on their vacation. There's so much to do. The ocean is beautiful and warm. Restaurant choices are outstanding for a place like this. Fish by Jose Andreas and Paranza were our favorites of the trip. Dolphin Cay is expensive, but worth it. Great experience. Took a charter boat to swim with pigs and sit on abandoned beaches. Incredible day.

Absolutely the best resort ever, immense and meticulously detailed. Countless pools, water park, and a gigantic aquarium. Truly a paradise. Everywhere we went, we were left speechless, and we were more and more amazed every day. The golf area, known as the Ocean Club, is highly recommended. The restaurants were lovely, with very welcoming and warm staff. The view from the room was enchanting. All the marine animals were truly beautiful, and the beach was stunning. The lobby was super fantastic, and the casino was also very impressive. Truly, highly, highly recommended and it deserves more than 10. It was the most painful goodbye ever.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! It was our first time visiting the Bahamas, and we had an incredible experience. We stayed at the Royal Tower (West), which was very clean and well-maintained. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The pools and water attractions were a highlight—so much fun! We can’t wait to visit again.

Staff was friendly. Pool was nice w swim up bar. Breakfast served daily was delicious w variety of choices. Restaurant on site. Within walking distance of marina, shops, taxi and other food options.

The staff was great, polite, hardworking, very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect being across the street from Atlantis which you get access to. The breakfast was mostly good and nice that it was included. The pool was nice and has a swim up bar and lots of chairs.

This property was amazing! All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Rooms are a little dated but they are super clean! Love having the swim up bar and breakfast everyday. Good at Crusoes is great! Also a perk that it is so close and you get access to Atlantis

It was affordable, the room was clean and comfortable. The pool was clean and inviting with a swim up bar and there was always beds free. It had a well stocked buffet breakfast and we got to use the facilities of the Atlantis across the road. There were shops and restaurants close by and downtown was only a 5 minute taxi ride away.

Loved the closness & accessibility to Atlantis Waterpark n beach. Comfortable bed, room was spacious for 2 people, liked having a sofa and mini fridge in room, would have liked a mini microwave. Spacious bathroom, loved the hook and towel rack by shower/bath, loved the placement of toilet behind door, gave more privacy, & sink with towel rack by sink that was separate from toilet/bath. Note: elevator is far from the front for those with limited mobility. Liked the ice n vending machines on each floor....maybe add other water selections. Loved availability n the variety of breakfast buffet that was included, especially for families with different starts in am. (Would suggest door to restaurant to open out,hard to open door with a plate and drink in hand) Few tables inside, but plenty outside, nice breeze and cozy. Pool was refreshing, loved the umbrellas n multitude of chaise loungers n pool towels..for families with kids, there is a lifeguard on site. Like availability of bar right by the pool. Plenty of food places near hotel. Staff very friendly, has a luggage storage...only suggestion is for front desk staff to readily offer the hospitality room to visitors arriving before 3pm to change out of their travelling attire to more comfortable resort clothes...swimsuit, shorts, flip flops to enjoy pool or to explore the surrounding area. Didnt find out about this room until 3hrs later. Would definitely stay here again...quiet, calm and relaxing after a busy day on the island.

Visited Atlantis on May 16th 2025 for a whole week.We stayed at the Royal Tower East and everything was perfect. Renovated room was beautiful. The property was excellent. We used the Royal Bath pool and was great. We made reservations before we got to the resort for every night for dinner and all restaurants were great. The restaurants were : Silan (2) Chop Stix, Bimini (Marina Village), Fish by Jose Andreas, Posidon buffet. We knew from the reviews that Atlantis is expensive but it is worth it. We would spend the day by the pool. Had lunch by taking our from Shake Shack and eat by the pool. We (3 adults-Me, my wife and our daughter 21) on Saturday night went on to see the Aura night club. It took a while for people to start dancing and it started only after oldies from Abba. Also we had a reservation to see Comedy show ($160) with headliner Tony Davidson ( terrible). So basically we did not have breakfast ( there is a Keurig coffee machine in the room so we brought our own coffee) Lunch by the pool and nice dinner at a great restaurant. For 3 of us for 7 night stay cost of about $2700. That is about $390 per day/night. All charged to the room. Only credit cards accepted. No cash. We were very happy with the whole vacation and Atlantis is a gem. We will visit again. Thank you Atlantis and the people that work there , they were polite and helpful.

We had a wonderful trip staying at the Royal at the Atlantis and I loved how easy Expedia made it to book (thank you!) Our rooms were beautiful and we had the VIP experience. Everyone was so nice. A few small things I wish I had known going in... There is very little shade around the Royal. The only place with Umbrellas walkable from our building was the Mayan Pools and they are noisy and tends to be where the little kids were (we have teenagers.) The quieter pools have no umbrellas at all and full blast from the sun. Also, the beach has no umbrellas. I'm fortunate enough to have traveled a lot of the Caribbean now and this was the first time I encountered this problem. Atlantis may want to reconsider this. Most people I know do want the sun but also the ability to get a little shade from it sometimes with an umbrella by the pool or by the beach. Also, I didn't know I needed to book dinners 90 days in advance. We were only able to have dinner on property one night because of my ignorance (I tried to do it 30 days in advance). But that was okay because I made dinner reservations off property in Nassau and had some incredible food. We had to travel by taxi to do this. But the restaurants were great about getting us taxis back and some of the taxi drivers gave us their cell phones to contact them directly to get back. For us, it turned out to be a positive. Beautiful resort. My teens loved the water slides. The spa was beautiful. Gorgeous views. Thank you!

A beautiful property and location with a lot of options and a lot of things to do. Beautiful swimming pool, beautiful beaches and wonderful dining options. On the downside, the dining options are too expensive for a family of four and the taking process was not very detailed because this was our first time visiting this place and they didn’t give us any information so we wasted a lot of our vacation time trying to figure things out and see which swimming pool for example, were best for us or how to navigate around the area and find restaurants and places to visit. I would appreciate a more welcoming, taking process and in general I would appreciate a more happy and kind stuff.

This property was perfect for my family vacation. Aquarium beaches pools excursions I mean it don’t get better than this honestly. I’ve been too many islands and we loved everything…. One small thing we need some chicken fingers n French fries at the pools… shake shack fries food in sesame and there chicken n fries is brown meat bites… different from room service chicken tenders (allergy kids) other than that was perfect

The aquarium areas are nice, pools are clean, but bathrooms near beach area need repair the doors are off in two of the four stalls , dirty, and not stocked with toilet paper. Landscape near eating area at pool had trash laying around same trash everyday so no routine cleaning. Our room at Royal was amazing, housekeeping , check in desk also amazing. Casino was festive , fun, and easy to get a drink unlike BahaMar which may be bigger but spread out and boring. I hope the continue to remodel and put some focus on bathroom areas outside. The Barbie area in main lobby seems cheap not what you expect in a nice resort as soon as you come in

We loved being right by the beach,lived watching the volleyball games while in the swim up bar pool. Loved that everyone was so friendly.

Overall the stay was outstanding. If u don’t tip your room attendant then they short you towels and such. Rooms are avg but clean and comfortable. Resort is outstanding with an awesome beach and waters. Pools are great with 1 swim up bar. Entertainment was great. Food was great in buffet and Japanese restaurant. The other special ones could use some touch up dish menu….overall for the price will definitely be return trips with enjoyment…

The public places in the Paradise Island RIU were spotless. There were always employees around wiping down and straightening furniture cushions in the lobby. Floors were constantly being swept and mopped throughout the hotel. We were impressed at the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms are very dated and in need of an update and new ventilation system. The smell when exiting the elevator seemed to be a very strong deodorizer to mask the old and musty smell. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows had seen better days where what stuffing was left in them was separated and lumpy. Every one of the employee were extremely helpful and friendly, from the bell staff and front desk at check in to the cleaning staff, servers, beach and pool staff and security personnel. The beach area was beautiful and well maintained. It would have been nice to have drink service on the beach, as there is a double stairway that has to be climbed each time a drink is desired. We did not utilize the pools except to test the water with our feet. The larger pool was much too hot to enjoy the water. We didn't try the bar pool. Food was decent and plentiful. There was something for everyone at each meal in the buffet, where if you left hungry it was not the fault of the hotel. We ate in the buffet late 2 nights and there was always plenty of food and a wonderful selection. All around, our visit to the RIU Paradise Island was extremely relaxing and enjoyable!!

You could not ask for a better property than this Riu. Both my wife and I were very impressed with pretty much everything, as out ratings show. Location could be said for the Atlantis as well, as Paradise Island it not a short walk to Nassau. But, if you enjoy pools and beach, and great food this property has it and there would be no need to leave. There is nightly entertainment inside, not sure what the venue is called. The music is pretty loud so a conversation would need to happen between sets. As for any review about loud music after dark at the pool, ignored it. The pool and bar close at 7 so the activity is no longer. However, the inside bar (and your room) is open quite late.

R.L-check in free room upgrade 711 by the elevator noisy when people are partying. He was even so kind to participate in my TikTok. Excellent customer service. Sports bar and etc Tanisha - sports bar waitresses/pool waitress/cappuccino waitress . This lady was working everywhere and customer service top tier. She remembered our shots chilled everyone. 10 out of 10 highly recommended. Excellent customer service also came from the others below; Perry - server at the buffet, Nelly -Steakhouse server, Anthony and Fritz -pool bar bartender (if you want strong drinks these two are heavy handed. Bubbles the entertainment staff was so pretty and had a great disposition. Give them all a raise.

Paradise island is no joke. This is the most beautiful place on earth and the most incredible vacation. Everything was excellent. Shout out to the DJ at the pool who understood the assignment very well. The dining options were fantastic, the table games at the pool were fun, and the water park is the cherry on top. And I didn’t even mention the stunning beach. Will definitely be coming back!

Where to begin! This resort was beyond fantastic. We enjoyed every aspect of our 10 days here. The Cascades pool and staff in that area were top notch! Jamel led his team to customer service excellence daily, Cody, Everette, Justin, Shaquille, Zhavargo and Parish ensured we had our chairs, towels, umbrellas and wristbands and were always available for a good chat 😊 Our night time housekeeper Krystal was awesome at her job and was never too busy to take a few minutes to make sure we were doing good and had all we need The Cascades servers Anishka Hall and Gardenia took such good care of us and were always ready with a good laugh at my husbands jokes 😉 I cant remember the names of all the guys at bell services who helped us but they were outstanding, there was never a time when they weren't ready and willing to help us 😊 Our room was beautiful and peaceful and watching the cruise ships come and go was nice, but the waves hitting the shore was the part I enjoyed the most! I would like to congratulate the staff at The Cove because they made our vacation better than we hoped!

This was my first time staying at the Cove. I celebrated my birthday there. I have stayed at other resorts in Atlantis, but the Cove is by far the best..in my opinion. The Cove is luxurious, majestic scenery, and exceptional property conditions and facility. The thing i was most impressive was the staff's hospitality, professionalism and friendliness. Their service was exemplary. They treated me with kindess, professionalism and were very accommodating . I felt like I was among family. I really enjoyed the convenience of the shuttles and taxis, restaurants, and the adult pool and private beach. Perfect vacation, birthday celebration. I felt very safe at the Cove and the island. I highly recommend the Cove. You will not be disappointed! Charisse Williams

Great family vacation. The Cove has it all, quiet and private Cove only pool and super close to slides and lazy river. Was very windy, but warm when we went in late March. We had a sapphire 2 room suite with Lapis club access. Get floor 5 or higher for unobstructed view. Lapis club was great for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Butler service was excellent. Service overall at the Cove was beyond amazing. Get dining reservations ahead of time.

This was our second stay at the Cove and I don’t think I could stay anywhere else in Atlantis! Elegant and beautiful with spacious rooms and the best beach in Atlantis with great snorkeling! The pool and beach area never felt over crowded and the staff was attentive and friendly. The water park and water slides were a short walk as well!
