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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

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

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

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
