Concierge.com's insider take:
The centerpiece of Paradise Island is the 171-acre fantasy resort known as Atlantis. Here you'll find a 63-slip marina that can handle megayachts, an 18-hole championship golf course, and the largest casino in the Caribbean. Even the 16 dolphins who survived Hurricane Katrina have found a new home here, at 41-acre Dolphin Cay, where they are fed, nursed, and pampered by a team of dedicated specialists. The newest Atlantis attraction is Aquaventure—63 acres of waterscape filled with more than five million gallons of water, in which guests can float along in inner tubes or test their nerves in defiance of MasterBlaster technology that creates water escalators up and 58-foot drops down. Nonguests can buy a day pass (adults, $110; children ages 4–12, $80; under 4, free).
