I hope you will feel at home and soak up the paradise that is Bimini! As your host, I am easily reachable should you need any assistance. A few things to note: The Bimini Islands are remote, and as such, intermittent power outages, WIFI connection and water pressure losses can occur. This may cause a slight inconvenience during your stay. Not subject to offer refunds if these issues do occur. The resort does an amazing job at regularly spraying for bugs, but this being the tropics there are mosquitos and no-see-ums that still hang around. Be sure to bring bug repellent. ATM AND CASH: There is not an ATM on South Bimini! Most places take card but some only take cash, definitely need to have some on hand. Either bring cash with you or there is an ATM in North Bimini at the Bank of the Bahamas, about 5 minutes walking distance from the ferry in North Bimini. Once you get off the ferry hang a right on the road and the bank will be on your left hand side. US dollars accepted everywhere. Same currency as Bahamian dollars.
