RE: Miss. Delicious #65 : The hidden gem in Atlantis - The Marina Village and the Bimini Road Restaurant! (photos + video)

Wow it is so colorful and nice! Just make sure to keep it to the touirst part only, last time I was at the Bahamas I ended up in an incredibly shady/dangerous/poor area and it was not fun at all. Unfortunately the country itself is in a pretty bad state so whenever you go make sure it is a tourist part. I hope you enjoy your trip!

Thank you for the tip, I was pretty surprised at how friendly all the locals are. I'm not sure I want to see the shady area! :(

Lets say I was arrested at the airport for not declaring "valuables of more than 10k usd" and that was not true, later I had to give like half of my money away as a bribe when they briefly put me in a place which looked like a North Korean labor camp...

WOW! Really sorry to hear about this experience. Happy that you made it through ok, minus the bribe and horrible detention conditions. This is another reason why it helps to have a Travel Consultant in your corner. These immigration rules and regulations are highlighted to you the client before hand to prevent just these situations.

that sounds horrific, this was in Nassau?
