Bahamas 🇧🇸 Atlantis Atlantis is my happy place. I was excited for a long time before the trip. Transportation: After getting off the plane, there is an Atlantis sign at the airport exit. The staff will tell you where the car to Atlantis is. Follow his instructions to find the car in picture 3. It took about 15 minutes to drive, and you don't have to wait for everyone to arrive. Hotel: There are several hotels here. Guests staying at Atlantis can enjoy the water park for free. The hotel is a bit old, but it doesn't affect the experience of this trip. Most of the time was spent in the water park, and I only returned to the room at night to sleep. Each hotel has a shuttle bus that can take you to other hotels or water parks. It's also very close and convenient to walk slowly. As soon as you leave the hotel, you can see a pool of stingrays. They are very cute but very smelly. I played for a long time with my nose covered. Restaurant: There is a Shake Shack next to the hotel. I bought two cups of Bahamian milkshake, which was pretty good. The wall of the restaurant is an aquarium, so you can enjoy the fish while eating burgers. Water Park: I experienced the most classic shark tunnel and the fast slide from a high place. When I was playing in the shark tunnel, my phone accidentally fell out of my pocket and was picked up by the girl behind me. I played many times and still couldn't get enough. The rafting was not very exciting, but it was also good.
