Product Description

From the charming limestone buildings dotting the lively capital of Nassau on the island of New Providence, to the less-visited Family Islands, this is a guide to visiting the Bahamas. It discusses the action-packed nightlife of Freeport and Nassau, the best places to go snorkelling and scuba-diving among sunken wrecks of old galleons, and how to search for buried treasure in the annual Flying Treasure Hunt. Quieter activities are also included, such as golf on the exclusive links at the Cotton Bay Club on Eleuthera or any of the dozens of other top golf courses in the islands, or simply sipping cocktails surrounded by sea and sun. There are full details of hotels and restaurants at all prices on the islands of New Providence, Paradise Island, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, The Abacos, The Exumas, Cat Island, Long Island, Andros and Bimini.

Better than all the other guidebooks on the Bahamas
I just came back from the Bahamas using this book as my guide and had a fantastic time. Although the cheapo hostels are not covered, all the great small and large hotels were honestly reviewed, and all the best isalnds were covered in real detail. An excellant book for people who want to discouver the real Bahamas and have one to two weeks to do so. I would strongly recommend this one above Fodors or Feildings...

3rd edition is skimpy, out of date for Grand Bahama Island
The info about the Bahamas country in general was good, but the info specifically about Grand Bahama Island is skimpy and out of date. I found the Fodor's Bahamas book much more useful for that island.
