The Comfort Suites Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas has added an on-site testing program, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Paradise Island resort has launched a new free, rapid Antigen testing program for all international registered guests. 

Advanced reservations are required, however, as limited inventory is available, the property said. 

The move helps travelers comply with the new CDC guidelines, which mandate a negative test result within 72 hours before returning to the United States.

The resort has long been one of the island’s most popular, thanks to a program that gives guests access to all Atlantis facilities, including its popular Aquaventure water park.
