Bump. I'm visiting for the first time June 4th-8th, so I only have 3 full days to explore. What are the top things you think I should do? I'm staying in an AirBnB in Nassau. I'm thinking about checking out Atlantis one day.
Definitely check out the Atlantis.
You can pay for access to their badass pool area if you call ahead. You'll have to get over there early to pick up your wrist bands that day. They have an early cutoff time for that to prevent cruisers from being able to access the pool area and create a mob scene. It's cool af. I'd call and reserve that right now if you can.
The Atlantis also has some great restaurants. You'll need to make reservations now though if you want a table at one. Pricey but extremely good. You can party at their casino and clubs after dinner.
Other than that you'll want to do things out on the water. Whether you like fishing or snorkeling/diving... there are charters you can book. You may want to reserve that now as well if you can.
The beaches are great. Most of the hotels/resorts have the beach behind their facilities marked as private for guests only though. You can access the beach behind the Atlantis with their wrist band though.
There's a place near downtown Nassau called The Fish Fry area. You can try some Local Bahamian food there in some of the smaller places. Go to one that you see only locals going to if you want some authentic grub.
There is also a 5 Star very expensive restaurant there that is in Al Capone's old Bahamian house. I ate there with my wife on our wedding night. Pierce Brosnan (007 guy) was at the table next to us. If you're interested I'll give you the name of the place. Let me know cause it's slipping my mind right now but I can figure it out easy cause we have a piece of their china at home with their name on it. The most extravagant service I've ever had. Plus... it's in Capone's actual house.
