Comfort Suites Paradise Island is the best-kept secret for families who want Atlantis without paying Atlantis prices. The hotel sits just across the road from the resort, and its single biggest perk is that guests get full access to Aquaventure and its facilities: the water slides, river rides, pools, private beach and more, with complimentary wristbands redeemed with a government photo ID. You can also charge meals at Atlantis restaurants and lounges back to your room. The hotel itself is simple and practical: 223 renovated junior suites with a sitting area, a tropical garden setting, and an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar and a sundeck. A full American buffet breakfast is included every day, which on Paradise Island is a real saving, and self-parking is free. It is a three-diamond Choice Hotels property rather than a resort, so expect comfort and convenience rather than glamour, but for many families it is the best value on the island.
Location and getting around: the hotel is on Paradise Island, steps from Atlantis and a short walk from Cabbage Beach, the island’s longest stretch of sand. The Paradise Island ferry terminal, where the Exuma and Blue Lagoon boats leave, is close by, and downtown Nassau is a short taxi or water-taxi ride across the harbour. Free parking makes it easy to keep a rental car.
The rooms: all 223 rooms are junior suites, with a bed area and a sofa or sitting area, which gives families a little more space than a standard hotel room. Rooms have been recently renovated.
Who it suits: families and budget-conscious couples who plan to spend their days at Aquaventure and the beaches, and anyone who would rather spend the money saved on a day trip to the Exumas.
Good to know: bring a government-issued photo ID for each adult to collect the Aquaventure wristbands. The free breakfast and Atlantis access make the rate much better value than it first looks. There is an on-site restaurant and pool bar for easy evenings, and babysitting can be arranged for a surcharge.
