Harborside/Atlantis Question

Just returned from Harborside. We had a small family reunion there with 12 people and three units (two of which were traded via II). The two 2-bed units were on the 4th floor of building 4, one with a great view of the pool and Nassau.

This was my first time visiting in October and the weather was much, much nicer than in May (glad there wasn't a storm...).

Atlantis staff told me at beginning of week that 2500 people were checking out of the hotel and only 600 checking in. Very quiet week, no wait for any rides (the kids (and adults) had a blast).

We spent a day on the Paradise Beach. Absolutely fantastic and had about 400 ft of beach to our group ~ extremely quiet. Among the best beaches I've ever seen.

We wanted to go to Seafire or Cafe Martinique, but both were closed the entire time we were there. We did go to Carmine's and the Bahamian Club, which were great.

And of course we had Sandra and Cyrus (who works with her) drive us everywhere...

Glad you a great time! I have never been to Harborside in the fall yet, but I suspect we will give it a try in the future.
 
My wife and I just returned from spending 3 nights at Harborside and it was wonderful. We had 3 nights worth of SO's to use this year, and made reservations in August without any problems. The weather was wonderful and no crowds at any of the rides or restaurants. Carmine's is open and even without a reservation, we got right in, had dinner promptly served and were out within an hour. One serving of lasagna was more than enough for both of us, and probably could have fed 4 people. Stayed on 4th floor of Bldg. 1 with lovely view of the harbor and Atlantis facility (casino). We have tried over the years to exchange into Harborside with no luck, so when a couple of days came available in October, we thought we would try again. Again, it may be all seasonal, but we had no problem getting in for 3 nights in late October.
