The Atlantis aquarium is a must-do, even if you’re just on a cruise stop in Nassau. Hurry over here. Lori Barbely

The Cove Atlantis is the luxury resort within a resort, which is exactly the type of Atlantis vacation that our CT+L travel expert Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon loved in her stay at the Cove. Read her Atlantis resort review. Lori Barbely

There are 750,000 gallons of water in the Baths, the largest pool in Atlantis — but not the world. (That honor goes to Chile’s 66-million-gallon San Alfonso del Mar pool.) Less is more. Courtesy Atlantis

As Sarah says about the Cove Atlantis, “On a recent quickie visit, time in my room was spent only to shower, dress or sleep.” She kept very busy. Lori Barbely

It’s a 60-foot near vertical drop from the top of the Leap of Faith water slide to the shark-filled pool below. Not for acrophobes. Or charkophobes either. Lori Barbely

It is hard to pull yourself away from these luxury surroundings. Lori Barbely

There are 13,895 manicures and pedicures given every year at the Mandara Spa in Atlantis, polishing off 3,000 bottles of nail polish annually. That’s an average of 38 a day — book ahead. Courtesy Atlantis

It has more than 3,400 rooms, 40 bars and restaurants, 11 swimming pools and 50,000 sea creatures in 14 man-made lagoons. And in our last readers’ poll, the Bahamas’ Atlantis Paradise Island resort got more votes for favorite destination than 20 actual islands. Take a closer look at the hotel that’s raised living large to an art for Caribbean vacations. Courtesy Atlantis
