What to Wear
Resort wear is a good choice for Edmentum-hosted events (sundresses, linen pants, button-down/collared shirts, khaki shorts, etc.). Casual attire is recommended for the meeting. For the Giveback activity, please bring your VTO shirt, closed-toe shoes, and lightweight shorts or pants that may get dirty. And don’t forget a hat and sunscreen!
Driving
Rental cars may be picked up from the airport. They drive on the left side of the road in the Bahamas, so it’s a little trickier. Parking at the hotel is free of charge.
Cell Phone Service
The Bahamas is an international destination, so data used on the island or calls made to or from the island are considered international. Please check with your cell phone service carrier about their international cell phone and data packages. Free wifi is available throughout the entire resort.
Electricity
All electrical plugs are the same as in the US, so no adapters or converters are necessary.
Currency
The Bahamas have their own currency, but it’s pegged 1:1 with the US dollar. Credit cards and US dollars are accepted everywhere, so there’s no need to exchange money.
Taxis
Taxis are plentiful and can easily be arranged at the hotel, but many don’t take credit cards. The bellmen at the hotel can help arrange for a taxi.
