But instead of sitting quietly and thinking about what he's done (and thinking of ways to apologize to disappointed fans), he's been partying it up at the <b><A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cove+Atlantis/local/500">Atlantis Bahamas</a></b>. <p> <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/02/08/2009-02-08_steroidtainted_arod_gets_his_drink_on_in-2.html">New York Daily News</a> reports that he checked into a two-bedroom suite in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cove+Atlantis/local/500">Cove</a> section Jenna 2009-02-10T09:31:02-05:00 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/2008/2/21/153549/544 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/atlantislogo.png" class="imgborder"><p>File this one under <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/bad%20rate">Major Bad Rate</a>. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Atlantis+Paradise+Island+Beach+Tower/ian/122899"><b>The Atlantis</b></a> in the Bahamas is offering a "Paradise Getaway" of 4 days/3 nights from $439. This sounds amazing, right? Well here are some caveats:<p>&#183; You must book by Feb. 29th, so you have one week left.<br>&#183; Rate is per person, double-occupancy, based on Sun. or Mon. arrival. Got that?<br>&#183; It's effective for travel 4/27/08-6/15/08, basically when it starts to get warm where you live.<br>&#183; It's only for rooms in the Beach Tower Terrace which is the cheapest tower on the property.<br>&#183; Don't forget to add up to $81 <i>per person</i> for mandatory taxes, mandatory housekeeping gratuities, and utility service fees.
