Planning my first trip to Bahamas. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to the Philippines?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from the US with experience in a few different countries but first time in Bahamas.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.
