Atlantis Paradise Island is located on Paradise Island in Bahamas and it’s one of the resorts that will go the extra mile to make sure that their guests are happy and content.

This is the kind of place that guests love to visit and they have a hard time returning to their own native country. Aside from the beautiful island weather year round, they visit to be part of all the activities that are going on.

Paradise Island is takes up a wide expanse of land. That’s why some native joke and suggest that to get around on this island one may need to get a detailed map.

As a visitor to Paradise Island, you may more than likely check in at the Coral Towers, living quarters that are within walking distance from the Predator Lagoon and the Lagoon pool. The rooms at Coral Towers are priced to accommodate the traveler who can spend a little or those that can spend a lot.

On this island resort, they offer fun for everyone. For one thing there are several pool areas that you can choose from and there is a place called Neptune’s Water Toys Hut where they can indulge in some water activities like water biking, kayaking and rent snorkeling equipment.

And the kids are not to be left out. The Aqua Tots program is a must for kids three years old and up. For the four to 12 year old there is the Discovery Channel Camp. The kids are treated to lunch and sometimes dinner after their one hour tour.

Water slides abound for the kids and one has to be at least 48 inches tall to get in on the sliding fun. There is also a very educational marine exhibit that the children will love. The exhibit showcases lots of sea animals in all their splendor.

The healing community has come a long way in demystifying the cloak of secrecy that once surrounded the teaching of Reiki in the western hemisphere. As a result, inaccuracies that…
