Andros Islands
Small Hope Bay LodgeEach of the 17 roomy cottages is decorated in bright batik fabric and vintage nautical posters and has its own bathroom and a view of the sea. Families are best off reserving one of the four two-room cottages; they all contain two double beds. While the hotel is quite comfortable, its low-key charm means no luxurious soaps or shampoos (so bring your own), no in-room refrigerators (although the staff will provide coolers), and no bathtubs (to conserve water—but there are showers). Small Hope Bay, from $209 per adult (kids ages 2 to 12 stay for $95 each and kids under 2 stay free year-round).
Nassau
AtlantisThe Reef includes family-friendly condolike rooms, and access to the resort's 63 acres of water slides and waterscapes. It also partners with the Kerzner Marine Foundation to help preserve coral reefs and mangroves 30 miles west on Andros. Kids can also learn more about the marine habitat by snorkeling closer to the resort, off of Cove Beach or in the seven-acre Paradise Lagoon. Paradise Beach, from $335 for a double room.
