I was really looking forward to visiting the straw market and doing some local shopping. I literally walked up to three booths to look around and was treated very rudely by two of the three vendors. We ended up buying a few things from the 3rd vendor but we were done after that. I did not understand the rudeness when...

All shops were selling pretty much the same stuff and hardly any straw items. Mainly t-shirts, souvenirs, etc. Not much authentic Bahamian stuff. Overall, a bit boring market unfortunately.

If you are in Nassau this is a must see and do experience at least once. Aisle after aisle of native Bahamian goods from trinkets, hand made jewelry, straw products, beautiful hand made wood carvings and an excellent opportunity to test your price negotiating skills. Merchants can appear to be 'pushy' at times but it is part of the experience...

Everyone is selling the exact same things and you barely walk in and they attack you like vultures! So since we had just walked in we said we were just looking and then one...

Before leaving the Bahamas, be sure to walk through here for your souvenirs. Walk around before buying stuff or you'll find yourself seeing something unique at every other stall and wishing u hadn't bought what u just bought...or at least wishing u had more money! lol

The market is very crowded. The store owner/staff members can be very pushy and at time you can feel rude for telling them no. The shops have decent deals, way better than the hotel shops. Make sure you work out a deal on the price, don't pay sticker price.

The stall holders are rude and arrogant. You can barter the prices but they won't move much from the original price maybe a couple of $$. The prices are to expensive for a market place. I guess that is because the market place is right next to the passenger ship port. Prices are much more reasonable a couple of streets...
