Customer Reviews

Very helpful guide

I found the guide had a lot of useful information about the best hotels, restaurants and tours. This is exactly the information I needed. It also had a great section on the pro's and con's of each major island. This was helpful in figuring out where I wanted to vacation. I have read a lot of information on the web, and frommer's website, but I found this guide to have it organized more efficiently and it is more comprehensive. It was an easy and fun read and also had information on the history of the Bahamas. I really enjoyed it and it helped with my vacation planning.

Excellent guide,but w/ a few (inconsequential) inaccuracies

I thought this was a great effort to present the true Bahamas, but unfortunately, there are some inaccuracies that seem to confuse The Bahamas with other countries in the West Indies, particularly in referring to the language. Bahamians would never refer to their dialect as patois. (that's Jamaica and other countries). Bahamians just call their English dialect "Bahamian dialect". And some of the words are not in general use as stated, e.g. nyam is Jamaican, and bobo, if used, more usually refers to Rastas, not morons.
