Bahamas

Pros: Clear waters for excellent snorkeling opportunities
Cons: I don't get there often enough.

The first time I was ever in the Bahamas was for a lands sales deal when my wife and I were both twenty three. That was thirty five years ago. We had been hanging around Miami Beach for a few days and we were approached when coming off a tour. For a fee ...

Pros: beautiful scenery, beautiful water, feeding and petting stingrays
Cons: not enough time, Stingray City crowded

Last fall I took a week off between jobs and went on a Caribbean cruise. First post of call: the Bahamas.

If you've never taken a cruise, basically you are given several choices for shore excursions at each port of call. Naturally in the...

Pros: short plane flight from the east coast; great weather; fun for spring breakers
Cons: lots of spring breakers; not so family-friendly

The first time I traveled to the Bahamas, I went with my family and a friend -- when I was in college. I was 19 years old and I was dying for a "good time spring break" so needless to say, I wasn't exactly excited that my parents were going to be coming...

Pros: Warm weather, lots of sun
Cons: Untidy beaches, littered roads, lewd people, high prices

I left my university last weekend hoping to return relaxed, tan, and very happy. While I am quite tan and somewhat more relaxed, I can't say that I am really very happy. With the approximately $800 that I spent on this trip, I could have purchased a...

Pros: Beautiful endless beaches, So Much To See
Cons: None

The Bahamas

These islands are only 50 miles off the coast of Florida and yet you feel like you’re in a different world!!! There is so much to see here, country roads that that wind through out of the way towns, sleepy seaside villages, shops...

Pros: It's a vacation!
Cons: It can be trouble if you're alone and you don't know what to expect.

I am not here to write an opinion on if you should or shouldn't go to the Bahamas. Everyone will have a different experience there, and some will love it and some will hate it. My objective in this opinion is to let you know what to expect when you go....

Pros: A unique adventure to a tropical paradise.
Cons: Not for everyone

I’ve always heard my island friends tell tales of all the out island travel, and have always been inquisitive, and somewhat jealous of their adventures. I’ve visited the Exumas, Bimini, Abaco, and Eleuthera, but the family islands had eluded me thus...

Pros: Variety, Lovely beaches, Good Food, Airfare reasonable
Cons: Urban issues downtown and bridge area

After reading all the negative reviews about Nassau, I feel obliged to point out why this place is considered a "paradise". First of all, it is not a good idea to stay downtown or in one of the cheap hotels. The nicer hotels and timeshares...

Pros: Quiet, relaxing, great for recreational activities.
Cons: Occasional interruptions in water, no night life.

Great Harbor Cay is located in the Barry Islands. This little island, is gaining in its popularity due to the wonderful weather, incredible fishing, peaceful sunsets, and virtually untouched, undeveloped island. Bone fisherman come from all parts of...

Pros: non
Cons: its beauty

It is believed that this lost paradise that once existed was locate or around the Bahamas.
This islands that make up the Bahamas are surrounded by water that is incredibly clear.So clear that on a day that the surface is calm you can look down from...

Pros: BEAUTIFUL, a lot of fun
Cons: hard to get to, expensive

While the Exumas are probably the most beautiful part of the Bahamas, the Abacos are my favorite part. While I have been to just about every corner of the Bahamas I have spent more time in the Abacos than in any other place. My travels to the Bahamas...

Pros: Beaches, hammocks, and volleyball courts
Cons: Women wanting to braid my hair

First stop on a cruise to the Bahamas was Nassau, the nation's capital. One of my favorite things to do during our few hours wandering around the city was to watch the cars go by; some had steering wheels on the right, and some had them on the left. The...

Pros: Gorgeous weather, many family/couple activities, nice people
Cons: Pushy vendors, high prices

I lived in Nassau for two years, working as a teacher. I had a chance to explore a new culture, a new lifestyle, and several family islands. It was a fabulous experience, overall, but everything is not always glorious in paradise.

Nassau is...

Pros: FUN
Cons: hard to get to

Marsh Harbor is definitely my favorite place to go in the Bahamas. I can almost consider it home, for all the time I have spent there. I love the people there, and I personally know many of them. While it may be difficult to get there, that makes it...

Pros: The people, the relaxed atmosphere, the romance
Cons: Food and drink prices can be high, watch for "rip off tours"

"Going to the Bahamas again?" was the response from Mrs. Average Joe when she was "informed" of the selection of a short summer break. Over the past 20 years, we have been to the Bahamas four previous times (twice in Freeport and...
