Bahamas first timer — need advice

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 Colombia?
5. Best time of day to go out?

Coming from the US with experience in Europe but first time in Bahamas.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

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

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Did you use freelancers or find girls at online?

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?
