Bahamas pointers?
My wife and I are headed to the Bahamas for a one week vacation later this month. Been a crazy year this past year, and we're both in need of some quality down-time together.
We're first-time visitors there, and staying at a resort on Paradise Island.
Appreciate any pointers, tips, great places to go, eat, relax, toss a few back.
What's the list of must see and do's?
Thanks in advance.

They have a high speed tour boat (looks like a big Fountain or a big Magnum) outfitted with lots of seats in rows like a bus. They also had 2 45 Smiths set up the same way also. It was a snorkel/island excursion that was an all day deal so be sure to check the weather conditions for the whole day because you are far from the marina at the end of the trip so it could make for a miserable ride back if seas spool up or it starts to rain.

Sadly Paradise Island has little to do with the Bahamas anymore, as stated Atlantis is just a Vegas style artificial playground with no connection to the islands or culture. For the real Bahamas go to Abaco or Long Island. If you are stuck with PI then one of the two powerboat trips will at least get you off to see the Exumas for a day. Powerboat Adventures is the better of the two and the original trip. Cafe Matisse is the only dining worth it in downtown Nassau.

If you want to go really fancy for a dinner hit up the Greycliff. It has been a few years since I have been there, but we got a tour of the wine cellar, if you ask you can probably do the same.

The best part of Atlantis was walking around the marina every evening.
