Has anyone been to Bahamas recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
