Nassau Bahamas - (by  Delia Kolb) I was able to visit hotels on Paradise Island and Cable Beach on Nassau Bahamas. Below is a summary of the places and the area.

Paradise Island- is about a 30 minute taxi ride from the Nassau airport. The taxi fare is approximately  $10 each way per person from the airport to Paradise Island. The Island has great beaches and is quite expensive. For example, a candy bar $3, and a bag of Oreos $9. There is little shopping.

Atlantis Resort-The Atlantis Resort is very big and very expensive. It offers a fabulous water park, which is included in your hotel stay, great beaches and quiet lagoons. It also has a marina. The restaurants are quite expensive. The buffet at the Royal Towers was $28 per person for breakfast and $55 per person for dinner. The buffet at the Cove was $75 per person for dinner. A meal at the a la cart restaurants averages about $75 per person and the steakhouse about $125 per person for dinner. The service was good and the people were very friendly. You can pay for a day pass to the resort, $110 per adult and $85 for children 11 and under. This will allow you access to the pools, water park and beaches. It has a very lively night club and casino. There is a free shuttle that runs throughout the resort.

Riu All Inclusive Resort-This is located next door to the Atlantis. It is a small 3 star resort with limited amenities, a small spa and work out area. It is directly on the beach and offers a beachfront pool. Good value for the price and customers can use the casino at the Atlantis and pay for a day pass for the Atlantis water park and huge pool areas.
