The epicenter of the Atlantis resort is Marina Village.  It is the place to walk around for shopping, dining and free nightly entertainment. The Marina Village is located at the Atlantis (everything is located right there and I keep mentioning this because this is what makes Atlantis such an easy and relaxing vacation – you never have to leave the resort)!

While walking through the Marina you are looking at all the huge yachts – which is just beautiful.   There are 20 cute shops in the Marina to peruse as well as a Ben and Jerry’s, Starbucks, adorable candy store and several casual restaurants (Carmine’s, Johnny Rockets, Quiznos, Bimini Road).   We also love the Daiquiri stand that offers both Virgin and regular frozen Daiquiris.  Fun to grab one after dinner and walk around the Marina Village.   Our favorite restaurant in the Marina is Bimini Road.  It is a cool indoor restaurant with an outdoor bar.  The lobster is amazing!  The best part is the live music they have playing on the outside deck at night.  We loved the Bahamian group singing Journey “Don’t stop believin’” and other 80’s hits.  The singers are interactive and lively– more free entertainment to take advantage of at the Atlantis.  There are also steel drum bands, a stilt walker and more throughout the Marina Village.

Marina Village Tip:

Get to Bimini Road early for dinner. They don’t take reservations and it is a very popular place!
