We had gotten comped (Caesars) for a few nights at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and decided to check it out (first time). Upon doing some research, we learned it can be expensive just to feed yourself (VAT + automatic gratuity.) I did some research and we came up with a plan to bring food and use a neat device we discovered online called the Hot Logic Mini (it was also useful for heating up restaurant leftovers.) It ended up working out well. We still had some dinners at restaurants throughout the resort and Nassau but were able to save a bit from not having to pay for expensive, basic breakfasts. We also found the beach was empty and peaceful when we went there straight in the morning.
