Doing Atlantis the Smart Way.
The water slides are amazing, but the price tag is brutal. Here is exactly how we took the kids to the Bahamas, swam with the pigs, and got full Atlantis water park access without paying the Atlantis resort prices.
The Comfort Suites Hack
You don't have to stay at Atlantis to play at Atlantis. We booked our room across the street at Comfort Suites Paradise Island. It gave our family of four full wristbands and access to the massive Aquaventure water park every day for a fraction of the cost. The biggest hidden win? Comfort Suites includes free daily breakfast, saving us over $100 every morning before we even walked over to the water slides.
