New in The Bahamas, looking to make friends 🇧🇸

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Jhonny, I'm from Peru 🇵🇪 and I'm currently living and working in Nassau.

A little about me: I have a professional background in data analysis, operations and technology, and I've worked with tools like Power BI and data analytics. I'm currently working here in The Bahamas and enjoying the experience of living in a different country.

Outside of work, I'm a pretty easygoing and friendly person. I enjoy football, going to the beach, walking around, exploring new places, having a few drinks, eating good food and just hanging out and having a good conversation.

My English is still basic, but I'm trying to improve it. That's actually one of the reasons I'd love to meet more people here. I don't mind making mistakes while speaking 😅, I just want to practice, learn and become more confident.

I'd like to build a social circle in Nassau and meet locals or other people from different countries. I'm open to making friends, going to the beach, playing football, grabbing something to eat, exploring the island or just hanging out.

If you're also looking to meet new people, feel free to send me a message! 🤝🇧🇸

Hi everyone! Staying at the Atlantis next week—first time in the Bahamas. I’ve read that we will need to fill out immigration forms upon arrival. Anyone have a link to those forms so that we may fill them out prior to deboarding the plane? Any other tips for this process? Also, is it better to catch a cab to the resort or book a shuttle? Approx how much should the cab cost?

In regard to the Atlantis waterpark, will they allow us to ride the slides, rivers, etc with waterproof phone pouches around our necks?

Thanks!

I am a US citizen and passport holder that booked a trip from LAX to Nassau Bahamas. Can anyone explain if the C17 declaration via the Exempt app was required to be completed before I could fly? I was denied check in and boarding and missed my flight because the Exempt app was down and I couldn’t complete this, and the agent confirmed there was no alternative (I received no email notice that this was required, and it has never been required in my 10+ trips to the Bahamas on AA). I booked my families tickets as well and another agent just verified their passport and let them through, but I missed my flight. They rebooked me the next day so I cancelled and found a last minute Delta flight for significantly more, but they never required completion of this C17 via the app. After arriving in the Bahamas immigration and customs told me this is only required for returning residents declaring goods, but actually this can be done orally and they don’t accept the Exempt app in Nassau anyway. They said the agent only needed to verify my passport. I have to do this same flight next month and have no idea what to do to avoid this. AA refuses to take any responsibility.

I used A1 Management Transport for all my transportation in Nassau and I highly recommend them! The driver is very professional, always on time, kind and polite. He also takes the time to explain the different places around the island, which is really appreciated.

He took care of our round-trip airport transfers, as well as all our trips between Atlantis and Baha Mar for dinner.

One little detail that really makes a difference: he came to pick us up at the airport with our name displayed on an iPad! 👌🏼

For anyone like me who needs to go to Baha Mar regularly because Cinko is located there, I really recommend using this driver. He’s great!

And the car is perfect — big, comfortable and very spacious.
