5 Must Bring Items for a Trip to the Atlantis Bahamas!

 

1. Water Shoes

This is a close second must have item!  Not only did we use the waterproof phone case with lanyard to be able to take pictures on our phones while we were having fun at the water park and beach, we also used it as a safe spot to store our room key and credit card!  We could enjoy our time at the water park and beach knowing our valuables were on us and not laying in a bag on our pool chair!

The beach is beautiful at Atlantis!  Chairs and Towels are provided by the resort but the one thing they don't have is sand toys, and goggles! Make sure to bring some fun collapsible sand and pool toys and don't forget the googles for those little sensitive eyes!

These are our favorite new goggles that also act as sunglasses:

Here are the collapsible sand toys and sand buckets:

First and foremost, don’t forget your swimwear!  Atlantis is renowned for its stunning beaches, expansive water park, and numerous pools. Whether you’re planning to float down the lazy river, plunge down thrilling water slides, or simply relax on the beach, having a variety of swimsuits will ensure you’re always ready for water-based fun. Consider bringing at minimum two or three swimsuits so you always have a dry one on hand.

Next, the Bahamas' tropical sun can be quite intense, and you’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. A good sunscreen with a high SPF will protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Additionally, bring hats, sun shirts and sunglasses for extra protection and to keep yourself comfortable while exploring the resort’s outdoor attractions.

My favorite Sunglasses: 

Have I mentioned yet that Atlantis is HUGE! Although it is not as stroller friendly as Disney, a stroller is completely essential if you have small children! Not only is it so spread out, there are paths that are next to open water (with sharks, yikes!) and other dangerous areas were babies and toddlers would need to be fully secured and not wandering off!

Here is a compact stroller that is easy to fold up:

Although each member of your family is given an Atlantis reusable water bottle at check in, they are a little hard to drink out of (especially for kids) and they are hard to fill with ice since the top is so small.  The water is usually room temperature or HOT from all the refill stations located around the resort so having a cup that you can put ice in, has a straw and that stays cold is the winner on our book!  Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in a tropical climate, so, we really recommend bringing a reusable cup with straw that way it will stay cold and be easy for everyone to stay hydrated, ensuring you stay refreshed and energized throughout your vacation. 

*** BONUS tip: If you forget a cup for ice water you can ask for water cups at the restaurants & pool bars.  I personally would get an ice water every morning when I got coffee at Starbucks and reuse that cup all day, refilling it with ice and water!

Lots of water fun means lots of water in the ears so these are a pool bag essential for us on vacation to prevent ear aches!

These are our favorite Ear Drops:

Comfortable footwear is another essential item. While flip-flops are perfect for the beach and pool areas, you’ll also need a pair of sturdy walking shoes for exploring the expansive resort grounds, dining in its numerous restaurants, or visiting the marine habitats. Comfortable shoes will ensure that your feet stay happy throughout your trip.

My favorite new comfy sandals that can be dressed up for dinner or worn to the pool/beach :

With these five items packed (plus all my BONUS tips), you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy all that Atlantis, Bahamas has to offer.

Safe travels and enjoy your trip to paradise!
