Hi Val,

My daughter is turning 16 soon and wants to skip the big bash in favor of a trip to Atlantis. What recommendations do you have to make this birthday a memorable one? Thank you.

Hi Daisy,

How fun is that birthday going to be?! That should certainly be a day your daughter will never forget.

At Atlantis, Paradise Island, stop by the resort’s Earth and Fire Pottery Studio to make a personalized memento of the occasion — choose from picture frames, trinket boxes, earrings, hair accessories, necklaces, and more. Items are baked in the kiln overnight and ready for retrieval the following day at 4 p.m., so be sure to visit the studio at the beginning of your trip and not the day prior to check-out.

One of the coolest things to do at the Nassau property is the Ultimate Trainer for a Day experience, where your daughter will get some training from a marine mammal specialist, feed nurse sharks and cownose stingrays, snorkel with other stingrays, tour the facilities, and do other exclusive activities. It also includes lunch, gift bag with snorkel gear, fish guide and t-shirt, and flash drive with photos from that day.

And last but not least, a birthday celebration is incomplete without a cake. You can order a custom cake from the resort by calling 1-888-526-0386 at least two weeks prior to arrival.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy.

 

Val
