What do I need to know before moving to Nassau?

"Nassau is a beautiful and vibrant city with a lot to offer expats. Before moving to Nassau, it is important to research the cost of living, as it is higher than many other Caribbean cities. Additionally, expats should be aware that the official language is English, but the local dialect is a mix of English and Bahamian Creole. It is also important to note that the currency is the Bahamian Dollar, which is pegged to the US Dollar. Finally, expats should be aware that the climate is tropical and humid, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to the mid-80s year-round," said a member in Nassau, Bahamas.

"Pack everyting in plastic storage boxes (lots of cockroaches here!!!) Think about your security. Criminality is high in Nassau. Choose a recent house. Think you may have lots of problems in a old house (plumbing, roof, etc...) Try to have a spare room or a cottage for your guests/visitors," remarked another expat who made the move to Nassau, Bahamas.
