Visited Bahamas for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $101/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $96/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
