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
- New venues worth checking out

I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Thailand.

Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: go early evening.

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

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

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?
