Travel Tips:
• Use airport code NAS as your destination.

customs, communication on the island, and so on: http://www.nassauparadiseisland.com/about - the -

• Transportation from the airport to Breezes is on your own. A taxi journey from the airport will cost roughly
$20 - $25 depending on the number of passengers. Please bring cash as taxis in the Bahamas do not accept
debit or credit cards. You may wish to bring some smaller bills to tip luggage attendants – should you
decide to utilize this service – at the airport. Tipping is not allowed once you get to Breezes.
