A no frills fishing lodge in the Bahamas, South Andros Island is well known for its ... more
expansive bonefish flats and its fly fishing traditions. Although the Andros Islands are the largest group of islands in The Bahamas, the population is very sparse and the handful of fish camps, lodges and resorts play an important role in the local economy.

In July 2001, I went in search of THAT beach - you know the one – the white sands, crystal clear waters, palm trees, secluded – the one that appears in any brochure for the Caribbean. A few years ago I went in search for it in the Dominican Republic but came home disappointed. This time I struck lucky! Anyway before I rant on about the beaches I had better give you some background info!

Advantages: fantastic place to go Disadvantages: none
I was lucky enough to go to the Bahamas on holiday in April 2008. In our party there were 3 children and 3 adults.
We arrived at the airport to be met by a limousine, we were driven to The Atlantis hotel on Paradise Island?wow what a place. We were able to have a good look round whilst in the Limo, the weather was beautiful and when we arrived at the Hotel, you could see why it was called Paradise!!
The hotel was enormous; it had lots of different sections. There is the Royal Towers, Imperial club, Coral Towers, Beach Towers, The Cove Atlantis, The Reef Atlantis, Harbour side Resort, and Special.
We stayed in the Coral towers. Our room was large with 2 double beds in. It had a full stocked bar, which was checked daily and re-stocked?..beware, very expensive!
There was a large mirrored wardrobe and plenty of drawer space ...
