The island also has a variety of small restaurants and cafés to choose from to experience the authentic Bahamian cuisine.
Do I need a car? Not really. The resort offers shuttle services around the property and most wedding events will be within walking or shuttle distance. If you'd like to explore the 7-mile island, golf cart rentals are a fun and popular way to get around. Don't forget, they drive on the opposite side of the road! Check out our "Things to Do" tab for more info on renting golf carts. We will recommend our favorite, most reliable company.
Is there Wi-Fi at the resort? Yes, Wifi is available throughout the resort which is included in the $25 daily resort fee.
Can I bring my kids to the wedding? As much as we love your little ones, our wedding night will be an adult-only celebration. We hope you'll enjoy a well-deserved night off to relax, dance, and toast us in paradise - kids free!
Are there excursions on the island? Yes! You can find our recommendations under the "Things to Do" tab.
Do I need to bring cash? The resort accepts credit cards, but it's a good idea to bring a small amount of cash for purchases if you plan to explore the island. While Bimini is a beautiful, laid-back island with stunning beaches, it's also still developing in many areas. Some parts of the island are more rural and may feel less built-up. If you will be flying into South Bimini airport, you will need cash for the taxi ride to the water ferry dock.
What kind of attire should we pack for our trip? The island is VERY laid back. All of the restaurants on the island are super casual. Think tiki hut and conch shacks. Besides wearing formal attire for the actual wedding, pack all your beach and pool-wear. Relax + be comfortable!
Is there a casino? Yes, Resorts World does have a casino on-site. It is open starting at 10am and either closes at midnight or 2am, depending on the night of the week.
Do I need to book the ferry yet? YES! The ferry link has been listed under the "Travel" tab.
What time should we be at the ferry port for the Balearia? Check-in begins at 06:00am. We recommend arriving no later than 07:00am to avoid any long lines or delays.
Is everyone invited to the Welcome Party? Of course! We want to kick off the wedding weekend with all of you. Join us Friday evening 7:30pm-9:30pm on the outside piano terrace.
Do we have a wedding registry? Yes! The link to our registry is https://www.myregistry.com/wedding-registry/lauren-vangel-and-christopher-hope-boca-raton-fl/5276068
