Frommer's Favorite Experiences

Sunset at the Cloister. Here, amid the reassembled remains of a 12th-century French stone monastery once owned by William Randolph Hearst, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful pink and mauve sunsets in all The Bahamas.

A Night at the Casino. The Atlantis Paradise Island Casino -- the only one on Paradise Island -- is one of the most impressive and imaginatively decorated casinos in the world. Many visitors arrive on the island just to test their luck in this 4,645-sq.-m (49,998-sq.-ft.) casino. Once you're here, make it a point to check out the huge clusters of hand-blown glass arranged into amazing sculptures, conceived by American glass-blowing master Dale Chihuly. This casino contains at least four of his sculptures, each one massive, hyperfragile, and awe-inspiring, and giving the impression that it emanates light all on its own. Looking for a dining venue? The echoing interior passageway that interconnects the various parts of this far-flung resort is home to a medley of shops and restaurants, some of them among the finest in The Bahamas.
