Sandyport Beach Resort vs The Coral at Atlantis – At a Glance

Category Sandyport Beach Resort The Coral at Atlantis
Overall Vibe Casual boutique-style, all-ages Nassau resort with lagoon beaches, marina village dining, and a relaxed swimsuit-and-sandals feel. Larger, more energetic Paradise Island resort setting within Atlantis, better for travelers who want a bigger resort atmosphere.
Location On West Bay Street in Nassau near Cable Beach, with private lagoon beach access and Ocean Beach a short walk from the resort. On Paradise Island, best for guests who want the Atlantis resort setting rather than a quieter Cable Beach-area base.

Dining Beachside and village-style dining, including Blue Sail, Da Conch Shack, Bon Vivants, Twisted Lime, and Spritz. Best for travelers who want to be based inside a much larger resort dining and entertainment environment.
Pools & Beach Three lagoon-style pools, a dedicated children's pool with two water slides, two ocean beaches, and a tranquil lagoon beach. Better for guests who want the big Paradise Island resort scene rather than a small, calm beach-and-marina layout.
