Being such a large collection of islands, the Bahamas has a location right for you. Examples include everything from the island of San Salvador, where Christopher Columbus made landfall in 1492, to the more glamorous Nassau, the capital city, which is on New Providence Island.
The Bahamas lies east of Florida and north of Cuba.
The most refreshing time is between September and May: the temperature averages 70-75F degrees. The rest of the year is warmer with temperatures between 80-85F degrees.
The Bahamian dollar (B$1) is equivalent in value to the US dollar. Both US and Bahamian currency are accepted interchangeably throughout.

Review Title: Swim with the Dolphins! Rating: Excellent
Review Details: I just got back from Atlantis resort, located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. This is the best resort I have ever stayed at in the Caribbean. This resort is massive. They have their own marine wildlife with more than 50,000 marine animals on property. You may visit this compound onsite, and visit creatures like sharks and stingrays. You can even feed them if you want! This resort caters to all ages however, the resort is respectful if you are requesting peace & quiet. The most amazing experience was swimming with the dolphins. These creatures and so smart and love to play. I would recommend this resort for people of all ages and interests. There was so much to do onsite that I barely left the resort. It was all here at my fingertips. The casino, marine life, private beaches, pools, spa and restaurants. Best trip ever!!
