We're guessing that money is no object for you then, since room rates here start at about $600 a night.<p>So why not keep the money flowing and thus drop $750 on one of the 20 cabanas that can be found both poolside and beachside at Cain, the adults-only pool and lounge experience within The Cove?<p>Celebs like Janet Jackson love these cabanas because they offer both beach and pool access, flat-screen TVs, Bose stereo sound systems, internet, full bathrooms and showers (no sand in your bathing suit here!), and a dedicated butler on call. We've seen the butler service on <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/29/15220/962/hotels/Inside_The_Cove_at_the_Atlantis_Resort_">our juliana 2008-05-20T11:30:28-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/4/17/195335/289 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/martha_atlantis.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Perhaps to recover from the loss of her beloved dog Paw Paw, Martha Stewart took her crew to the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Atlantis%20Resort"><b>Atlantis Resort</b></a> on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and she even <a href="http://blogs1.marthastewart.com/martha/2008/04/draft.html">blogged about it!</a> (You know Martha, you could have just submitted a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/VIP%20Hotel%20Reviewer%20Series">VIP Review</a> to HotelChatter.)<p>Anyways, Martha's short on text but long on photos and photo captions. After looking at all the pics on her blog, we gathered this is what she did at the Atlantis resort: made a meal with executive sous chef at Jean George Vongerichten&#146;s Café Martinique, tried on straw hats, checked out the garden at The Cove, observed architecture, bandaged her friend's hurt leg, went for a swim in rough seas, juliana 2008-04-18T12:10:00-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/21/24627/7061 <![CDATA[<p><i>We are suckers for a room with a killer view. &nbsp;We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow.

Afterall, who knows when we will ever get back to the Bahamas? And if we do get back there, we already know <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pineapple+Fields+Hotel+Condo/ian/234177">where we are going</a>.<p>So we shacked up at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cove+Atlantis/local/500"><b>The Cove</b></a> on our own dime and not part of the scheduled press trip.
