[@ChewsToExplore]

[@mauricesimpson8177]

Me and my wife went to the Bahamas in February . We did half at an Airbnb and the end at Atlantis. It’s ruff trying to get around without a rental car, and the jits were inconsistent. The people were dope they definitely looked out for us. If i go back I’d probably do Atlantis for the whole time to avoid the stress of getting around the island. Great vid Chews we appreciate the content

[@ChewsToExplore]

Great suggestions for the people. We had a great experience without doing the atlantis period. We preferred using the rental cars but it is good to know about the atlantis.

[@blackpantherguy2285]

Hey, I'm going this February. How was the weather when you went??? I'm not sure what I should wear thanks!

[@LORDWILLIAMSON_]

[@Sabrina-od4mr]

Great video. I have never visited Bahamas due to the expensive prices when I researched the island. I had no idea that transportation was so expensive. I can’s wait to see your experience with the pigs.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Yes Bahamas is a great place but it is expensive. We took local transportation and then took a rental car which saved us a good amount. Stay tuned to see our experience with pigs

[@andrebergeron2897]

[@ChewsToExplore]

I appreciate your kind words! It means a lot.

[@Coffeesushidelight]

Thanks for this video! I am actually planning a trip here before summer 2024 and I'm planning on renting an airbnb and a car to get around! I'm from the Cayman Islands so I understand the difficulty of tourists getting around but they also drive on the left so that's a plus and advantage on my end :)! Again thanks for the review on Nassau as this helps :)

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that my video is assisting you in planning your trip. If you have any more questions or need further recommendations, feel free to ask!

[@jimlucas5813]

Liked your video. Been going to Nasau for over 35 years. You covered a lot. One thing. at least from 2022 Atlantis is pretty well closed to all those without a wrist band. No freebees.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! It means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. And thank you for the update on the Atlantis wristband policy. It's always good to stay up to date with the latest information.

[@scottm.9335]

[@cuyfc3015]

I’m going to Nassau and staying around paradise island not exactly in it, I’m scared because online it says there’s a lot of crime and murders and stuff, should I go or cancel the trip but i don’t even know if I can I’m going with my mom dad and sister.

[@ChewsToExplore]

I understand your concerns about safety. It's always a good idea to research and be aware of the crime rates in any destination you're planning to visit. However, keep in mind that every place has its pros and cons. We did not see or experience anything that made us feel unsafe on our entire trip

[@arthiha5620]

One question, how can we get two days of activity at the comfort suites if we can check in at 3 pm and have to check out before noon?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Great question, because you check in at 3 but I have heard that the people at atlantis can let you in earlier. If not you have from 3 pm till the end of the day and then all day during the checkout day.

[@DejaDoesNegril]

What part of the island is best to stay if you want it to be walkable to swimming, food, and live music

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. I'd recommend staying downtown with the resorts if you want walkable

[@IAMBlessed811]

😅ja me Imaginei nadando com os Tubarões 🦈🐋

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's amazing to imagine such an adventurous experience.

[@bostonflair]

I'll be staying at Atlantis with no rental car. Planning on doing a grocery trip for my stay, but what's the best way to get from the hotel, to the store and back without getting hassled?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Unfortunately I cannot give you specifics on the Atlantis but there are cabs and taxi's outside of Atlantis all day. You will find one

[@ourworldenterable]

Did you end up getting a rental car and if so how did it go?

[@bostonflair]

I did not. I took a taxi from the airport to the resort and stayed at the resort. He was a sweet old man and he gave me his card and picked me up at the hotel to take me back to the airport. @@ourworldenterable

[@mariacristinacarozza8149]

Hi! Do you know how to go from Gran Bahama to Golden Rock beach? Snd how much it will cost?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Sorry we did not visit these places

[@jesusangelquintero8534]

Hello guys, a question: are vaccines required to go to the Bahamas, thank you Best regards 😎🤓

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you for your question! I would check with their website for the most up-to-date information with regards to this! Stay safe and have a wonderful trip!

[@EfuaOdopa]

Hi I want to know if there are any gate fees or pass for the beaches, queen staircase, the Parliament House and the other tourists you visited. Kindly let me know the amount you paid per person for each one if you don’t mind. Thank you

[@ChewsToExplore]

Check out our full video with more details of exactly the cost kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3yUl3ekh7enqM0

[@EfuaOdopa]

Thanks 😊 I have watched it but I want to clarify something. Some of the places you did not tell us the amount charged before entering or touring them. Does that mean those places were free?

[@ChewsToExplore]

@@EfuaOdopa Yes If i did not mention a cost then there was no cost associated with it!

[@EfuaOdopa]

Thank you ❤

[@DenziahMcIntosh]

Ill be honest.Us bahmains can be aggressive but it depends kn the promblem. But overall evveryone is nice. ( We do love watching fights and our fights be busin)

[@LizT207]

Can you bring your luggage on the jitney?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Not sure about that honestly

[@sophiasmith9994]

The bus drivers wont wait too long for you to lug luggage. Buses are privately owned which is why it's inconsistent. In essence, each driver is hustling to get as many passengers within their day to meet their personal quota. When you think catching a jitney, think hop on hop off bus...or traveling jet blue with no carryon bag just a personal item bag.

[@rochiellebevans1783]

American Express Cards are taken at businesses. Maybe not all, but the card is accepted. Most locals pay the Jitney driver upon leaving but it's up to the customer. I really don't know how the driver knows who has already paid or not......LOL.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thanks for sharing this! It's good to know that American Express Cards are accepted.

[@listenstudy]

Hello, Could my family and I hire drivers to pick us up and drop us off and return us to our Airbnb?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Yes, many car rental services offer chauffeur services that can pick you up and drop you off at your Airbnb. It's a convenient option for families who want to travel hassle-free.

[@jamicacraft]

Do you need a passport to go to the Bahamas or can a real id be used

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thanks for asking! Yes, a passport is required to travel to the Bahamas. It's important to have all the necessary documents before embarking on your trip.

[@WestCoastCultured]

Just get a damn passport 😂

[@jamicacraft]

@@WestCoastCultured well since there are about 14 people going and that question was in the air I thought I'd ask

Haha i have found that many caribbean islands do not take american express. Honestly that is why I stopped traveling with mine when I travel. Just using a visa or mastercard

We was there in June and used nothing except AMEX. This must be something new they just started good to new because we’re headed back in a couple days.

@@mommamorris3 We have been 4 times, (going again tomorrow) Amex is hit/miss. One hotel didnt want to take it but I told them its all we had and they took it. Some stores will, id say the majority won't.
