[quote=Anonymous]Here is a Wash Post article giving recommendations for romantic and reasonably priced beachy resorts:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/29/AR2009122902199.html?hpid=features1&hpv=local

At the time of writing they were all direct flights, but the article is a bit old so things may have changed.

I second the recommendation to look elsewhere.  You can spend an afternoon walking around Atlantis, but other than visiting the casino, walking through the acquarium and having an overpriced dinner, there isn't much to do there.  You can't go to their beaches/outdoor areas (at least when we were there they checked ID).  Groceries will be very expensive and from what I recall, the only place to eat near Atlantis is Atlantis, so your options are (1) spend $40 on lunch consisting of 2 hotdogs and 2 sodas; (2) eat at your condo; or (3) walk 30+ minutes to Nassau or take the cab ride to eat there.  Nassau is 3-4 blocks of tourist shops that become very crowded when the cruise ships come by.  A few hours there and you have seen it all and you are done.  There is a fort you can go to and spend a few hours there too.  Unless you really want to just sit on the beach, I think 4-5 days there would be too long.[/quote]
