Winter in Florida is pretty beautiful, but winter in the Caribbean is hard to beat! We have just learned of an incredible offer from Atlantis, the ultra-lavish mega hotel on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Starting at $199 a night, a lush room could be yours during the usually pricy peak winter season of January 1st – March 3rd. This is a 60% savings and is UNHEARD OF for this time of year. Rooms usually start at $509, so for $199 it’s a STEAL!
And why is this such a good deal? Well, this hotel is pretty much ridiculous. The hotel, which is really more of a “theme park,” includes 171 acres or rooms, restaurants, pools, beaches, aquariums, casinos, water slides, golfing, shopping — anything and everything you can possibly imagine. The 141-acre Aquaventure water park includes water slides and a “river float” that allows you to float through a tank of sharks — of course, you’re floating inside a protective tunnel, but when the sharks are swimming directly above you, you feel a little vulnerable. You can also explore the multiple aquariums where there are 50,000 marine animals on display.
Another thing we love about Atlantis? THE FOOD. Here, you can dine at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill and the most sought-after sushi spot, NOBU. You really can’t go wrong (and you may even spot a celebrity). Two of our favorite NYC eateries also have Atlantis outposts – Virgil’s BBQ (try the BBQ nachos) and Carmine’s, a gorge-yourself-silly family-style Italian restaurant. You’ll definitely want to mangia at any of these establishments.
This is also an easy boating destination from Florida’s east coast. If you’re on Florida’s west coast, get in the car, tow your boat across the state – it’s only a three-hour drive. Then, all you have to do is launch your boat and you’re on your way to Paradise. Bon voyage!
