Never without something to do Atlantis in the resort, you can find all the shops, restaurants, and activities for your whole group. If you’re not one to want to be with kids, check out The Cove, it’s adult only so you don’t need to worry too much about tripping over running kids as you grab your 3rd drink of the morning.

There is no better place to swim than in the Bahamas, with guaranteed clean warm water, it’s perfect year round. Whether you’re a pool fan or lover of the ocean, you have choices with soft waves and dozens of pools to choose from. Some of the attractions you can do are swimming with the dolphins, scuba dive for treasure, or take a booze cruise during the day. The fun thing is as an adult swimming with dolphins is so much more fun, especially during the booze cruise.

Conch at Montagu Gardens

While your hotel may offer delicious food, some of the best authentic dishes will be found out of your resort, and be in town. The seafood to look out for is Conch, your new favorite shell fish. You’ll see it different varieties from soup, salad, and most commonly “cracked conch” or fried, making it delicious and crispy at the same time.
