(birds tweeting)
(water rushing)
(water bubbling)
(lively upbeat dance music)
- Wow! (laughing)
Those first three seconds, you think you're gonna die,
but nothing really happens.
(lively upbeat dance music)
Why I should come there?
What's in there?
It's just a celebrity island.
Why do I even care about the celebrity island?
Well okay, ignore the celebrity thing, right,
for one second, because The Bahamas is like an archipelago.
You have over 600, 700
- 700.
- 700 islands.
So you can imagine celebrities might be in
one, two, three, four, five islands.
You still have a lot to choose from.
So, ignore that.
I think you caught a tan actually, you look.
- Well thanks God, because I was like a ghost.
(upbeat relaxing guitar music)
- This is very important; climate.
When is a good moment to come?
Well, anytime you want.
320 days in the year are showing the sun, here.
I think I made a video last year,
saying that Madrid is the sunniest city in Europe;
that's true, but we're talking
about the other side of the world.
Technically, it's winter from December to April;
we're in February.
We're in winter.
What's the temperature right now?
- 25.
- It's beautiful, and you have the sun all the time here.
Blue sky.
To answer the question;
When is the best moment to come?
Anytime, it doesn't really matter.
(upbeat relaxing guitar music)
Our base is in Nassau, the capital.
So, this is Nassau, the capital,
then you have New Providence, which is the area,
and there's a little thing called Paradise Island
where the key resorts are like Atlantis,
Four Seasons, and so on.
(gentle piano)
I'm gonna be playing with the drone.
Don't know if it's gonna work.
If it's good, I'm gonna show you this.
(chilled upbeat music)
- [Ale] A week, good enough?
- I think couple of days,
if you stay in downtown.
(water streaming down) (fast upbeat bass guitar)
- Oh yeah, this is also downtown.
We have a jungle in the middle
of all these buildings.
(fast upbeat bass guitar)
- [Kris] So, one coconut only.
- [Man Selling Coconuts] (indistinct)
(funky upbeat music)
- [Seller] They should give you a big water one.
(indistinct)
- In the middle of nowhere,
just found fresh coconuts.
Here in Atlantis, people can spend a week or two
- Because there are a lot of activities.
- Yeah.
Especially, I see lots of families with their kids.
So, this is a paradise for them.
They're going on the slides and going to the beach.
- The way I see it is that
you have two realities.
The downtown and the areas where locals live,
and the resort part.
It's very similar to Punta Cana
that you also have in Dominican Republic.
The resort, where the tourists are.
And then, where the locals live,
or where there's activities for locals.
If you want to combine both the worlds,
it's completely doable.
A week here, to spend a day or two
doing downtown and a couple of other areas
over there and try the rum cake.
(chilled upbeat music)
Then you have the resort, right?
We are now staying in Atlantis.
We didn't stay in Atlantis the whole time,
only for four nights,
but this is like a little bubble.
You have the yachts around this area.
Mini village that they created,
they have like six towers.
The Reef, the Coral, the Royal; so many different towers,
and you feel like you're in a massive palace.
In a way it's like being in a cruise.
You die with their options.
You might think; Why do you go Atlantis
if you're not willing to pay for this?
It's okay to go to Atlantis,
but sometimes prices are inflated.
How much is a coffee?
- Well, we pay, for our medium flat white, over $14.
- This is more similar to the US,
you never see the final price.
Whatever you see then you need to add 10% V.A.T,
and 10 to 15 to 20% tips; 20, 30% extra.
- Don't forget you can always add extra gratuity.
- Ah, these extra tips.
You end up paying, sometimes, even 50% more
than what you see.
Which is, from our perspective;
European perspective, probably insane.
- Either you take it,
either you go to the grocery shop and buy a banana.
(laughing)
- The banana is 75 cents.
And a bottle of water, if you wanna buy in Atlantis,
is, like, 12 to $15.
Yes, the water is expensive.
There's some little stores nearby
that you can buy maybe slightly cheaper.
But on the other hand, you need to know
that maybe Atlantis is cheap,
or you got an option that is cheap.
And then you say, "Oh, it's my chance to go to Atlantis."
Watch out, it's your chance,
but you're gonna be stuck in this area,
and you're gonna pay $100 for a very average meal.
Yesterday or two days ago,
we went to one of the restaurants of Konos,
the 20 restaurants that Atlantis has.
Just ate pasta, Ricotta Ravioli.
You had Tortellini
or something like that? - Yeah.
Dips and water.
- How much we paid?
90, 95, or close to a $100 probably.
For that; $100.
- That's what I mean, maybe we're missing something here.
- I think if you come to Atlantis,
just need to know prices are inflated.
That's how it is.
(dramatic violin)
Okay, so, cuisine.
We are both vegetarian.
So, for us, we struggle to find options, particularly here,
'cause every place we go, in general,
we have a lot of options.
But when you go to the islands,
you know it's gonna be fish.
You know it's gonna be some poultry, some meat.
You know that your options
are gonna be the side salad and the chips.
- We found a falafel place.
Whoop, whoop, whoop!
- By the way, Starbucks here
is the best Starbucks in the world.
We found a Starbucks with Oatly milk.
- Yeah, that was rare and unexpected.
- Normally it's the cow milk or maybe soya milk,
but they don't really offer Oatly; this drink from Sweden.
Amazing.
The best Starbucks we've ever been
is here, in The Bahamas.
We're gonna have a walk around
and see if we can do a night time lapse or some shots.
We'll see.
(dramatic orchestral string music)
Overall, I think Atlantis was a cool experience,
and it's a great place to be.
You just need to bear in mind a little bit, the prices.
That's all, that's all.
For the rest, absolutely amazing beach,
activities, resort, options.
So, why not?
(calm orchestral string music)
There's a lot of cool people around.
Break the ice and start a conversation
when you just grab your camera.
Again, you don't need a camera, really.
Your phone, literally this little thing here
can do the job.
Maybe at night it's more difficult,
(laughing)
'cause it's very grainy.
You need a tiny light
or a better microphone, this is just a tool
to share better stories.
When you come to The Bahamas, you have endless options.
Keep in mind it's not just Nassau or Exuma.
You have Bimini, you have San Salvador, Freeport.
So many different islands, as well, to visit.
We chose Nassau for the base,
'cause it's more convenient for us,
traveling during COVID.
How long does it take?
- [Tester] In less than an hour.
- [Ale] Oh, brilliant
The thing with COVID tests is that you never know
if you're gonna be able to fly back home
or go to your holidays because, only 24 hours before,
you will get the result.
When you enter countries like the US,
it doesn't matter if you're fully vaccinated,
you still need a COVID test negative.
24 hours before, you are like;
Will I be able to travel back or not?
Or should I cancel my holiday?
So, yeah, this is flying in COVID times.
If you stayed this long, thank you very much
for watching and don't forget to like below.
And if you didn't like the video,
like anyway.
See you.
