dogwood, ... The premium 1-brs at Harborside have sufficient room for a crib or roll-away bed to be put in the unit. The ordinary sleeping arrangements are a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa. (You can squeeze a crib into the deluxe (smaller) 1-br but it is very tight and I don't think they will allow it if that means 5 persons will be in the smaller unit.)
Cribs and roll-away beds are limited and subject to availability. The charge for a crib was $10 for the week when I was there a year ago. I have never had a need for a roll-away bed. Call the Harborside front desk to make any arrangements. The phone number is posted below.

Q: May I bring groceries from home to the Bahamas?
A: You may bring groceries from home; however, you will be required to pay a duty or tariff when you go through Bahamian Customs upon arrival in Nassau.
We do not recommend bringing fresh and frozen meat products or other refrigerated goods from the store. The resort is not equipped to refrigerate these goods and cannot guarantee that your villa will be available prior to check-in. Be aware that liquors and meats will have a very high duty cost, but snacks such as chips, cookies, candies and sodas will carry a lower duty cost.
The Bahamian Government does not allow fruits and vegetables to be brought in from the United States. (See note at end.)

Q: How do I arrange for a crib and/or rollaway bed for our villa?
A: Cribs and rollaway/aero beds are available, but are limited in quantity. If you need a crib or rollaway bed, it is recommended that you request it prior to your arrival at the resort. To make a request online, locate the Reservations Special Request Form in the Reservations section of this website. Please note that requests will be met on a first-come, first-served basis and rollaway beds are not allowed in all villa types. "
Don't worry about the tariff or duty if you bring some food with you. I've never seen anyone check the bags. The more important thing is to bring money and plastic with a rather high limit. The Bahamas is an expensive place to vacation even after you arrange for accommodations and air fare.
Enjoy your trip. Harborside at Atlantis is quite a place! ... eom
