Comfort Suites Paradise Island, Bahamas

You will save money by staying at the Comfort Suites but dont expect much.Rooms are not ready until at least 3pm so pack your suit where you can get to it.Staff was very unfriendly except the bartenders at the pool bar. Bathroom floor was filthy,our toilet clogged.If you dont smoke be sure to ask for a nonsmoking room,if not the floor your on and your room from previous people will stink.First time I have ever read a sign in the hotel room that states -please help conserve energy, if you do not need fresh towels please hang them up, if they are on the floor we will replace them. That is disgusting. Be careful when reviewing your final bill and be prepared to pay a $4 per person -per day- energy charge- We were charged $33 for food at the bar that we did not have(charged to our room and how ironic we did not even have a key for the room yet when the charge was put on. Atlantis is great, staff is friendly to everyone wether your staying there or not, so clean it shines. So if you can just put your head down at night and wear shoes in the bathroom your stay at the Comfort Suites will be ok.

Don't expect a lot! We just returned and were disappointed in the rooms--dark but adequate. The best part is to enjoy the amenities of Atlantis without the huge cost. We've stayed at both and the rooms at Beach Tower were small. Staff at Comfort Suites not friendly or helpful. We took a taxi to dinner for $7 to The Poop Deck three nites of six. A locals spot and great Bahamian food for a reasonable price. Highly recommend it...on the water and outside seating. There's a lot of walking at Atlantis and Comfort Suites is closer to beaches than some of the towers at Atlantis!

Just had an ok experience at Comfort Suites. If it weren't so convenience to the Atlantis, wouldn't have stayed there. No elevators, no one to help you with your luggage, the restaurant is not open for dinner and the staff was not friendly nor helpful. Loved Crystal at the pool bar--best pina coladas on the island. We had a room in the old section, third floor that did have a view of the Atlantis which was a plus, especially at night. Wouldn't return to the Comfort Suites.P.S. Gotta take time to go to Arts & Crafts each day at the Atlantis. Folks that run it are awesome and so are the crafts you get to make each day. Tell Tracey hi from Ohio :)

My almost 7yr. old son and I just came back from Paradise Island, Bahamas. Apr. 12-19th.He had a FUN time! We stayed at the Comfort Suites which is across the street from Atlantis. The Comfort Suites is a quaint clean hotel. You get a complimentary breakfast. Our room served its purpose (we basically showered and slept). The pool area is nice and the hotel restaurant is good, but it's only opened for breakfast and lunch.The majority of our time was spent at Atlantis.We LOVED the slides and pools! Our days there were awesome. We enjoyed seeing all those fish (especially the sharks, stingrays and morea eels).Atlantis is PRICEY. We had dinner at Seagrapes and my son enjoyed the Discovery Camp!

My husband and I only stayed at the Comfort Suites because it had access to the facilities of the Atlantis Resort. We would have chosen to stay at Atlantis, but they were booked part of the days we were there the first week in February 2003. The Comfort Suites is an older building, not the best in terms of its layout, but reasonably clean. We could only find one elevator (the service elevator) to haul our bags up and down stairs. Not a place to stay if you are travelling with senior citizens or handicapped persons who have difficulty going up and down stairs, or need to walk distances. There's no room service so if you want a late night snack, forget it. At least they have in-room refrigerators, but no microwaves. Also, don't trust them with your mail. When I asked the front desk where to mail 4 stamped postcards, a female employee said she'd take care of it, yet nobody ever received my cards. Makes me wonder what they did with them. Overall, the only advantages were the access to the Atlantis resort, and the complimentary continental breakfast. For younger people or familes on a budget, this may be adequate depending on your lifestyle, but if you can afford it, save up your money and go stay at the Atlantis!

We just arrived home from Paradise Island and stayed at the Comfort Suites for 4 nights and 5 days. We have 2 young children and it was a perfect for us. We had a little trouble finding our room and there was no bellhop to assist us and it was a real pain. When we arrived in our room after traveling all over the hotel it was not the room I requested. The staff that helped me was extremely rude as are alot of the people in the Bahamas. Once we got it straigtened out we were in a nice large room with 2 full beds and a sofa/living area. Our refrigerator didn't work very well and our bed linens were dirty and after 2 phone calls and 2 trips to the front desk by 10:30pm they finally gave us the sheets and I changed them myself. Once we got everything straightened out we had a great time. Not because of the Comfort Suites , but because Atlantis was what made our trip worth it. Our kids are 4 and 9. We were able to do different things each day. We hung out at pools, and the beach and the waterslides were a big hit. Everything regarding food and drinks is quite expensive. We enjoyed having the continental breakfast everyday. I had brought snacks and drinks with me to avoid buying everything at Atlantis. If it weren't for the ability to use Atlantis as part of staying at the Comfort Suites I wouldn't stay there again. There is a lot of walking to the pools, especially the waterslides, but no more walking than if you stayed at the beach tower or the Coral towers. It was a great vacation overall but would have been better if we wouldn't have had the troubles we had at the Comfort Suites when we arrived.

We almost stayed at the Atlantis and we weren't dissapointed that we didn't! I'll tell you this right now though-once you see the Atlantis for the first time, you're going to wish that you stayed there, but once you get used to the Comfort Suites, you'll be glad you stayed there. We got the chance to see the old and the new wing of the hotel. The new rooms were a lot nicer; that's where I stayed. In the new wing there's tile floors instead of carpet and everything looks brand new, so I recommend that you stay in the new wing. The hotel looks nothing like the pictures in the brochure except for the pink outside. It is much nicer because they just remodeled. The pool is a nice place to hang out in the morning and at night because it's a lot less crowded. You will probably spend most/all of your day at Atlantis. That place is incredible!! And it is only a short walk to the Royal Towers. We were closer to the Royal Towers than the Beach Tower! All in all, this is a great place to stay while visiting the Bahamas. You'll pay half of what the people staying at Atlantis are paying for the EXACT same thing!!

My 11 y.o. daughter and I went to Nassau for a two-day getaway. We stayed at the Comfort Suites which was a lovely hotel and featured a free cereal/bagels/donuts breakfast. The best part of the Comfort Suites is that you get to use all the Atlantis pools, slides, The Dig, etc. as if you were staying at the Atlantis. While we had a fun time at the Atlantis beach, lagoon, pools, and water slides, Paradise Island is expensive with a mandatory $27 taxi ride each way to the airpot, $15 per person depature tax, and typically expensive Carribean food and drink. For the $500 it cost us, (and we ate cheap and got a great rate at the hotel), I would have rather gone somewhere else -- not sufficient value for the money in Nassau. Except for Atlantis, which is gigantic and full of activities, there is really no reason to go to Nassau/Paradise Island. We had nothing to do at night since bars were out of the question. I don't know why cruise ships go to to port in Nassau -- I failed to see any exceptional shopping on Bay Street. Finally, when your daughter begs to have her hair braided -- and she will -- you can get them as cheap as $1.00 a braid, which will still cost you $25 for the whole head.

This is the way to go!!! Comfort Suites was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The free continental breakfast was great considering how expensive everything is on the small island!

Atlantis is where you want to spend All of your time, so how wonderful that you can do anything there by just showing your C.Suites room card at the Atlantis towel hut...you get the same wristband that people staying at Atlantis get (no one knows you aren't staying there!)

Don't worry about the walk..Atlantis is sooo big, you are actually closer to the "Leap of Faith" and other water slides, than if you stayed in the least expensive tower at Atlantis!!!!For 1/2 to 1/3 the price I might add!

Restaurants, shopping centers, and a mini Straw Market are also just a short walk....No need for a rental car here.

Finally, this is a perfect place for the kids...

Nothing special here, except location and included access to Atlantis. This is the cheapest way to visit

Atlantis, without paying Atlantis prices. Staff was average for an American hotel. So were the rooms and grounds.
