Has anyone been to the Bahamas?

We're looking to book but we're wondering what hotel.

Is it worth going all inclusive?

Would you advise trying the local food instead of all inclusive?

We are on a budget, so we would only consider not going all inclusive if it won't cost a fortune to buy outside hotel!

Hi, yes I went around 5 years ago, stayed at the Sandals resort near Nassau on New Provident Island. This was all inclusive, but good value we thought. Also had a small private island off the beach only for Sandals guests.

Nassau is a nice town for a day out etc, Cable Beach where the hotels are was very nice, but bear in mind most beaches are private to their hotels.

I have to say, we thought it was a long way to travel for somewhere 'ok' but not as fab as I expected the Bahamas to be.
