"Overall, the resort itself was excellent, and I had a great experience during my stay. However, my experience outside the resort was much less enjoyable.
Food in the surrounding area was quite expensive, especially when dining with a larger group. As a party of six, we occasionally felt unwelcome at some restaurants. It’s also important to note that many establishments automatically include gratuity and VAT on the bill. Some locations may add additional fees, such as a “beach cleaning” charge, which can often be removed upon request.
For dining, I highly recommend Joey’s at Fish Fry. It was by far the best meal I had during my trip to the Bahamas. Unfortunately, I only discovered it on my last day and wish I had found it sooner.
When using taxis, don’t hesitate to negotiate fares. Many drivers set their own prices, and there are usually plenty of taxis available in the area, giving you options.
For excursions, I would suggest focusing on the swimming with pigs experience. The private beach included with many tours already offers excellent snorkeling opportunities, with plenty of fish, crabs, and even lionfish to see at no additional cost. Purchasing a pair of goggles for around $15 is all you really need to enjoy the marine life.
Despite some challenges outside the resort, the overall trip was memorable, and with a little planning, future visitors can avoid some of the common surprises."
