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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
