We were there in December - it used to be free but now they charge $39 each & it's not worth it for a couple of hours. They have hotel guards all over inside & outside, so you can't see much of the aquarium or beach. The hotel is nice & the casino. You have to factor in your taxi fare over. There isn't much else on Paradise Island. On the mainland the "Straw market" was scattered all throughout the harbor street - they were waiting for a new building to be built for the straw market. If you've never been there you might want to take one of the tours. It's a very colorful place. Have fun.
