They sell sim cards at a kiosk in the departure hall of the airport. Walk past the dunkin donuts on arrival, out the door, into the departure hall and it's on your left.

Does the Bahamar provide cribs?

Can't speak to cribs but they don't send up rollaways if it's not a suite. Send them an email and consider eating the luggage fee for a pack and play.

“A large selection of basic Kosher items can be found in the two upscale groceries called 'Solomon's Fresh Market'. There is one located a 10-minute drive from the Atlantis Resort and another one which is a 15-minute drive from the Baha Mar Resort (5 min from the airport).
​
They both have a FULL Kosher section of both frozen, chill, and dry items.
 
Including frozen Chicken bottoms, Chicken breasts, Rib steaks, Ground meat, Challah, Hot dogs, Sliced cheese, String cheese, Deli meats, Kedem grape juice, Matzo, and Bissli.”

Anyone know if this is still valid? Cheese, meat etc?

Are they still requiring testing for covid these days?

I'm going there for an upcoming shabbos and i want to possibly make my own chulent and bring dips  and stuff with me.  How difficult is it to sneak some chulent meat and dips through customs?

Anyone recently stayed at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar? I asked about kosher globalist breakfast, was told only the buffet is free and anything I eat in the kosher restaurant won't be comped. Anyone got their food comped?
Also do they provide microwave/mini fridge?

Thanks!

How strict are they by customs in the Bahamas?
Has anyone brought in vegetables, milk, cheese or meat?
Did you declare it by customs?
