Visited Bahamas for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $73/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8.5/10. Would return.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $90/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.
