Booking Atlantis - Great Deals on Now!

Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas is having their President's Sale. There are several options and packages available right through to the end of 2014.

They are offering incentives like a $250 airfare rebate, or resort credit. Low rates on their rooms as well. Keep in mind that there are several classes and locations available in the same resort complex. In ascending order of expense and luxury are: Beach Tower, Coral Tower, Royal Tower, Reef & Cove.

We have been to Atlantis a couple times and it is definitely my happy place. Though, you have limited beach/ocean access there are about a dozen pools, waterslides, a lazy river and so much more. There is something at Atlantis for every age, ambition and pocket book. Atlantis is simply amazing.

I have been there in July, August and October. Keep in mind the fall is hurricane season, but you will find the same all across the Caribbean and coast.

Both Westjet and Air Canada offer great flights to Nassau. The airport there is outstanding! Life is good in the Bahamas!

If you have any questions about Atlantis, or Nassau, I'd be more than happy to reply to your comments.


Their iconic waterslide. 

My favourite view.

The lazy river & some random waving at me!

Comparing the Bahamas

Here's a bargain if you can go in the next 5 weeks. Sure, the weather here at home is still nice, but it's not BAHAMAS nice!

The hotel is the Wyndham. I've stayed at the twin sister Sheraton on the same 1/2 mile stretch of beach. (Cable Beach and it is seriously gorgeous!) I've even wandered thru the Wyndham but I have never stayed in the rooms. The Sheraton Cable Beach is amazing and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. It is about 10% more expensive than the Wyndham here on average.

For comparison, I searched the same week and destination for each of the next 5 months. All are Westjet packages and are the same flights. So... apples to apples.  As always, I recommend NOT making a decision on price alone. Do check the recent Trip Advisor reports on the destination and specific hotel BEFORE you book.

Typically the price in the 5star column for the Bahamas is Atlantis Resort. Which, as you know, is my favourite place on earth.
