Exactly what I envisioned, far away from the tourist traps and more of the real Bahamian daily life. The weather was perfect the first five days of my stay. I walked to the local shopping center daily to purchase items but mainly to interact with the locals. For me it is much better experience than the tourist traps in downtown Nassau. I took the local buses to get the feel of local transportation on the island and even more interactions with the riders and some of the bus drivers.
I spent days following the above routine. On my way back to the property I would purchase my evening meals from the “Jamaican Restaurant” SWEET FINGERS in the mini mall. Yes authentic Jamaican food in the Bahamas the hours are 11 AM to 5 PM M-S. Get there early sometimes many items are sold out before 5PM and they have daily specials.THE THURSDAY SPECIAL IS STEW PEAS AND RICE WITH 2 SIDES. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THAT MEAL, it is not on the menu of many Jamaican restaurants. Yes, it was excellent in my humble opinion.
The time spent in the room was primarily sleeping and maybe watching Netflix. Chrissy made breakfast every morning coffee eggs toast bagels cereal etc, very nice eating outside in the cool mornings. If you’re a huge fan of hot showers, I can do without steaming hot showers in a tropical climate. The hot water was not well hot or maybe I just didn’t wait long enough for it to get hot. Anyway, I enjoy cool showers when the temperature range is 75 -85 degrees Fahrenheit is wakes me up in the morning and cools me down in the evening. My time in New Providence was mostly away from the property, I slept well the bed was ok, I was usually so tired and full from eating it was easy to fall asleep.
If you are like me and want a real local Bahamian experience then this is the place to stay!!!!!
