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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Bahamas?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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