Comfort Suites Paradise Island

[Jensfan]

Anyone stayed at the Comfort Suites Paradise Island?

It says that...
The Comfort Suites® Paradise Island is located adjacent to the Atlantis Paradise Island and guests of the hotel can enjoy full use of all their facilities, including swimming pools, private beach, magnificent waterscapes, Lazy River Ride, water slides, health spa, tennis, and Kids Camp. Guests also have full signing privileges at Atlantis' restaurants and lounges.

Is this without an additional charge? Anyone tried it? It costs 25000 points or about $170 per nite seems like a decent use of points?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

The general consensus on TripAdvisor is that it's the real deal. Haven't stayed there myself but have been looking at the same idea as you for this winter; would also appreciate commentary from those in the know.

jt, I found a thread from earlier this year... good info. THX FTers

yes this is a great property to stay at. def worth it for having access to atlantis.

What it doesnt tell you is there is a 40$ a day charge for housekeeping and also 10 dollars a day for each person in room for the wristband that gets you into atlantis.

According to the hotel website it's

"Must have one adult 21 years or older in each room. Children under 15yrs stay free if sharing room with parents. Children 12-15 years of age are charged a $4.50 per night housekeeping gratuity. Person 16 years and older are charged as adults. Third or fourth adult in room are charged $40 per night plus taxes and service charges per night. Energy surcharge: $ 9.95 per adult per night. Housekeeping gratuities: $4.50 per adult per night. These are additional charges that are not included in the estimated total and must be paid directly at the hotel. Five rooms or more is considered a group. For groups please contact 1-800-417-6738 Ext 24."

so if one goes with teenagers and you all pack into the same room the add-on charges could be quite significant.

I wrote a fairly comprehensive review earlier this year.... In short, it's no Atlantis, but you have full resort privs and save a boatload of coin ;-)
