NASSAU BAHAMAS 5 CONS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!

Just left the Bahamas stayed in Margaritaville these guys are telling the truth! It’s waaaay to expensive, most places don’t take card (it’s cash only), there’s also a 15% gratuity & 10% VAT tax on everything you purchase, ended up spending $82 for snapper, chicken tenders & fries at Tiki Bar, service was mediocre & they also have a rat problem. I mean Junkano Beach is pretty but besides that I doubt I’ll be back just wasn’t a good experience for me but to each is own.

great video but you were rude when you cut her off near the beginnig telling her how she should say something "just say..." . Maybe edit that out so we don't need you correcting her in that way??

Then just don't come back simple🤷🏾‍♂️.

I’m glad you made this video !

You might be visited in wrong places in Nassau. When you visit next time please let me know. I do know nice restaurants with good services. If you guys interested to shopping I do know also nice souvenirs stores too. And texi guys also nice who will charge you reasonable.

So basically worst than Mexico

Hi guys, planning on traveling to the Bahamas next month. Looking for a reliable and fair-priced taxi driver. If anyone has information. Thank you

First do not take a cruise to the Bahamas because you will not see the real Bahamas, Fly to Nassau then catch another flight to the out Islands Marsh Harbor, Eleuthera, Cat Island, Long Island, Stanel Cay, Great Harbor, Crooked Island, San Salvador Then you will find the friendliest people that just want to make your vacation the best. We have been flying our plane to the Islands for 23 years and have made 30 trips to the Bahamas. Fly Fast and Live Slow!

Thanks so much Adesanya! No really....saw your other "pro" which included the tea, rum cake. Unfortunately, international folks nit use to tipping....but aggressiveness is a turn off.

Going for first time and staying at Reef . I’m just scared as brining a child with high care.

Thank you. I will definitely not stay in Nassau

Hi, I am planning to visit Bahamas in September but I am very confused with hotel, food, sort drink, taxi & public transport, so for a solo female traveller which side will be best to see all attractions?

Also, I have 3 hotels in my mind which are Warwick, Comfort Suit and Breezes, I can’t decide which one to book as I don’t want to end up spending too much money on taxis, I am sightseeing lover

As a Bahamian living in the US this tipping thing is getting out of hand. I spent most of my early life working in the tourist industry in the Bahamas and you only got a tip when you went above and beyond what is required of you, now the taxi driver wants a tip!!! For what?? OMG lol.

Didn't use to be extremely high. Since the new port , prices went out of the roof.

Hi, when you pay all inclusive all the alcohol is also free along with the food?

We have been to the Bahamas six times. Twice on cruises and we have stayed at Baha Mar four times. Yes, everything is expensive, but I know that going in. I also know they are on Island Time, so no one is in a hurry. We ignore the solicitation from the shops and the taxis drivers. We have the telephone numbers of a couple of taxi drivers who we call when we are there. If they are busy, they send another taxi, usually a friend, and we know the cost ahead of time. We try to go every six months, but have been going once a year recently. I love the Bahamas. As you said, with all the cons, you would still go back, and so will I.

Thank you for trhe informative information. I will remember this when I go.

You guys are telling the truth but i love my country and i am proud to be a Bahamian❤🇧🇸

Thank you for the toll info. I am traveling solo and nervous. Do you have any tips and advice? I went to Dubai solo and felt very safe and tipping is not a thing there even though I did, now I have regrets going to the Bahamas.

Great video! May I ask you 1 question, what month did you go to Exuma? We're trying to avoid Exuma and Nausau in March because of Spring Break. We're thinking of February or April. What month do you recommend? Thank you!

Excelente video, muchas gracias por tan valiosos consejos! 👏👏👏

Go to the Bahamas but not Nassau! The other islands are WAY better. I have a place in Exuma. The beaches are beautiful and empty. NO VENDORS TRYING TO SELL YOU ANYTHING. It’s a bit pricy but not crazy.

Some very important info to know ahead to be prepared and not end up disappointed.

Dude’s kinda dude to his lady. I understood what the problem was, didn’t need to be redundant. 😅 otherwise, thanks for the warning on the cons anyway.

My family wants to go to Bahamas. Thanks for the tips. Not sure I want to go now. No Uber, no metered taxis, don’t want to be conned pay extra or not safe.

I’m going to the Bahamas next month. If anyone asks me for a tip I’m 100% not tipping a dime

TIPPING IS IF YOU ARE RECEIVING SOME TYPE OF SERVICE .......NOT GETTING INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE .. ..AS FAR AS THE PUSHY VENDOR...THEY HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING ONCE I GET DOWN THERE..ILL SHOW THEM WHAT NEW YORKER'S DO IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT..THEY DEFINITELY WONT LIKE IT...

Very informative video.

Just booked a flight to Nassau from the US. Wish I has seen this video before I did. 😩

I’m Bahamian and I can agree that they overprice everything. ESPECIALLY if you’re a tourist. I don’t know why they have this mindset that all tourist are rich or that they think somebody’s dumb 😂

the most accurate description, i'm leaving the review after my 1st day here at Bahar Mar. I wish i seen this video before booking, place is beautiful but everything else is not.

Great content but dude be less controlling when she shares.

Thank you so much for giving me this information. I have a standby ticket to fly anywhere the airline goes. I'm scheduled to leave in 5 hours for the Bahamas. After watching this video, I've decided to cancel my flight and find somewhere else to go that doesn't sound so stressful.

"Where you from?"
"earth"

great video you guys are awesome

There is a high percentage of people that are very rude...at least that was my impression when staying at Atlantis. Lot of people seem to be annoyed with their lives.

I just came back from the bahamas and the only good thing they have is their beautiful ocean. Other than that, it is very expensive and the food is not good, they are very rude, from the waiters, to the taxi drivers and vendors, if you want to do any activities it will cost you at least $300 per person, no public transportation. Definitely is not a trip i will do twice

Y’all are awesome. Thank you for this. I’m here now with my family and wish we would seen this BEFORE we arrived. Thank you for this.

I plan on going on a last minute trip in july, do u have any suggestions on where to stay to be close to beaches,airport and dining? Based on this video it doesn't sound like a good place for a fitst time visitor

Thanks so much for your great Videos of the Bahamas! Are you born in The Bahamas? I agree with all you cons points.....But at the end every trip to The Bahamas and explore every time another Island, its definitly worth it! ❤🇧🇸😍

Yes the Bahamas may be considered a 3 Rd world country but the cost of living is high , for instance per gallon of gasoline is 6$ so it's very expensive correct there!!

My goodness I’m so happy to watch this video, as we are going there now in July. Lots of people told my fiancé that is expensive there but they don’t explain why, now I have a better picture of what we are going to encounter ❤ Thanks

Great information 👍

You're correct The Bahamas is a pricey place and your review is spot on for the most part. I don't agree when you say there are no convenience stores though. There are many there's a few downtown as well but most are away from downtown and not really labeled on goggle maps. A quick tip though pretty much every gas station has a little convenience in them where you can find basic needs like, water, bread, snacks, etc. Also if folks are staying for more than a few days, I recommend you rent a car instead of messing around with taxis you'll get to see the town more and find great cheaper local food spots on google maps away from the "resorts". Yes Nassau folks drive aggressively but it's not that bad it's about the same as Miami, Atlanta, or Jersey drivers.

Service is slow because you are on Bahamian time, what's the rush, slow down and enjoy your time there.

You two are so smart x love your honesty. My husband uses a wheelchair so we will be aware of “luggage”charge for his wheelchair 😢

You can eat on the economy and not the tourist area and get better food. Stop cry bout the tip It's not that serious The way you complain yall must be fussy travelers. Maybe you shouldn't go back. Stay in the states

Look, just don’t go back anymore . End of story 😁

The pushiness of vendors in Mexico is mob style!!!! Bahamas is light weight compared to Mexico. I’ve been to both places 🤷🏽‍♀️
