What do people like (and dislike) about Paradise Island?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Paradise Island, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Paradise Island, often like the stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful natural surroundings that the island offers. They appreciate the warm and sunny weather, which allows for a relaxed and laid-back lifestyle. The island's vibrant culture, friendly locals, and various entertainment options, such as casinos, restaurants, and bars, also contribute to an enjoyable living experience. Moreover, expats and digital nomads enjoy the various water sports and outdoor activities available, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and boating. The island's proximity to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, provides easy access to shopping, dining, and other amenities. However, there are also some aspects of living in Paradise Island that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The cost of living can be quite high, with expensive housing, groceries, and utilities. The island's small size and limited resources can also make it feel somewhat isolated, with limited options for shopping and entertainment. Additionally, some expats and digital nomads may find the slow pace of life and laid-back attitude of the locals frustrating, especially when it comes to dealing with bureaucracy or getting things done efficiently. The island's reliance on tourism can also lead to overcrowding during peak seasons, which may detract from the overall experience. Lastly, while the island is generally safe, crime can still be a concern, particularly in more touristy areas. Expats and digital nomads should take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings," said another in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
