From our first e-mail exchange to our drop-off back at the airport, Jermaine’s service was absolutely the best. He was flexible with timings via e-mail or text - and was able to wait 45 minutes after our flight was delayed leaving Boston. If you’re looking to reserve travel from the airport, at normal rates with reliable, professional service, contact Jermaine. You will not be disappointed. A+!

We really enjoyed the Junkanoo Wolrd Museum. We loved hearing about the Junkanoo festival and heritage. Seeing all of the elaborate costumes they wear in the parades was amazing. Quintin and our tour guide gave us a look at how they are made, WHAT SKILL. The pride is apparent in this museum, it is not to be missed.

My family and I visited this store while we were in Nassau at port on a Disney cruise. I had always wanted to purchase a Tag Heuer watch but had never taken the time to shop and choose a time piece. The staff at this store is incredibly helpful and easy to deal with and made the process of buying a watch a pleasure. I could not say enough positive things about them. Ask for Alphonso who was my sales associate. He was patient, honest and a pleasure to deal with. I have the perfect watch (Aquaracer) and I am thrilled with it.

Sharand was a dream from the first Whats App message exchanged! He was quick to reply to every message, had solutions for any snag we hit, rolled with any changes we made, and gave us a great sense of comfort that we were in good hands. Picking us up at the airport with Bahama Mamas (and soda), giving us a quick tour and history of the Bahamas as he transported us to a local grocery to pick up some provisions, and then offering his services at nearly a moments notice throughout the trip was just the best service we could have hoped for. When we asked for additional services, if he personally wasn't available, he provided someone else who was just as excellent. We took him up on a trip to the Fish Fry (suggest), and then asked if there were any local shops (not made in china gift shops) and though much was closed due to Covid, while we ate, our driver (Elliot at this point) found a couple places for us to stop in. We got a nice look at some Junkanoo pieces, and then back to the Atlantis. It was a great excursion and I strongly suggest getting off the resort grounds for a little while. I cannot suggest Sharand and his services more. I hope we return to the Bahamas and get to share Sharand's company again soon! In the meantime, don't book with anyone else.
