Paradise Island, Bahamas hotels are some of the best hotels you'll find worldwide. You can tell from the name of the island that the bar has been set very high! Paradise Island is meant to be a bit more upscale than your regular areas so expect a slightly different atmosphere and of course higher pricing.
Keep in mind too the core definition that separates a hotel from a resort. A hotel, to a greater degree, focuses on just providing lodging and maybe food and beverage while a resort focuses on being the entire package. A resort will focus on food and beverage and entertainment very heavily. Thus a resort can be a one-stop vacation package. You can have a full vacation without ever leaving a resort. However, let's be honest, what's the point of visiting a strange farway land only to be couped up on one property? So while a resort can be a one-stop vacation spot, at some point or the other you'll probably want to venture into the land you are actually staying in. I encourage it too!
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the hotels on Paradise Island but these ones I feel will give you the best experience. The hotels I list below are suitable to spend an entire vacation at and be comfortable. Other hotels may not be as comfy for such a long stay so if you don't see some listed here, that may be why without going into too much detail.

Bay View Suites is a great way to stay on Paradise Island and be comfortable without breaking the bank. Although they are a bit further from the island's main attraction(s) at Atlantis than other spots, the price and atmosphere are great considering. You'll still be able to technically walk to Atlanits to experience some of what the mega resort has to offer but I'd suggest catching a shuttle.

This is also the best way to experience Atlantis without actually staying at Atlantis and at a cost reduction because Comfort Suites guests can access the same amenities as guests of Atlantis. So you can stay at Comfort Suites and enjoy the casino and water park at Atlantis whenever you are ready.

A great selling point of Paradise Island Beach Club is that it is true to its name as it sits on iconic Cabbage Beach; the same beach that connects to the Ocean Club and Atlantis. The fact that there are only separate villas adds to the privacy so if you're trying to get away from the all-under-one-roof connected rooms type hotel, then this would be a great option.
