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 in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

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

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.
