Reserve Dinner Early
Book fine dining and popular resort restaurants well in advance, especially for Friday and Saturday nights.
Use Area Clusters
Plan Downtown, Paradise Island, and Cable Beach on separate days when possible to reduce taxi time and traffic stress.
Expect Resort Pricing
Meals, drinks, and beach rentals at upscale properties can be significantly higher than local spots.
Carry Cash
Keep small bills for tips, taxis, beach chairs, and casual food stalls.
Confirm Taxi Fare
Ask the taxi price before boarding, since most rides are negotiated rather than metered.
Watch the Sun
Use high-SPF sunscreen and take midday breaks if you are doing long beach or boat days.
Try Local Seafood
Plan at least one conch meal and one cracked conch or conch salad stop during the week.
Keep Afternoons Flexible
Summer weather can bring brief showers, so leave room for beach swaps, spa time, or indoor culture stops.
