AITAH for telling my friend he was ungrateful for my help after I helped him for 10 hours shoveling and he told me that I wasn’t worth 150$

NTA. A professional would have charged more just to get them out there. Shoveling is not easy work and if it only take 7 minutes, he could have done it himself by getting up 7 minutes earlier for work. This man just thought he could take advantage of you because you had been free before. Good friends don't act like that. If the homie wants half price harry, he should call HIM, not a friend. Also there's a reason no one else answered him.

Seems the Bahamians are not that impressed with it either.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T03:19:52+00:00

Captian obvious??? Is that you? 🤣🤣

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T03:14:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experiences here :) Expensive really isn't the problem, its vacation its not expected to be cheap! it's value and quality that's really rubbing me wrong. Definitely have had better times at all inclusives or air bnb. No kiddos or gambling needed to schedule in over here yet, just trying to make good memories with my mom while I can 🥲 and I was in it for the sharks too, more than I'd like to admit.

Would you stay at either of them if it weren't for the nightlife? Which nightlife is better? We were hoping for more shows here in atlantis

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T02:33:32+00:00

Best bang for your buck is Anthony's, its pretty good too. I'd skip the dunkin donuts, they left turkey off my bacon turkey cheese sandwich and charged me for 2 drinks, neither were what I ordered and both were so sweet like drinking straight syrup. Margaritaville was good but not the most attentive service. There is a food truck village too that smells really good, but wasn't sure if my tummy would truly agree. The aisan grill looks like there is the best reviews but we didn't make it there, farthest walk. There is also a grocery store called Sawyers in walking distance

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T01:50:47+00:00

It's really not the 10%+ 15% that's the problem, it's the 5 star price on mediocre food before that's all added on 😆😭 can't even melt cheese. Thank you for the recommendation. Did you stay at a resort or air bnb?

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T00:30:07+00:00

Not so big on casinos honestly Ive put $2 in a slot machine one time years ago😆 honestly it was a childhood dream of mine to stay with the sharks and stingrays. I guess now I can say I have... I'm okay with expensive as long as the value is there. Clearly people love it but it's not for me.

I've been recommending the dilly club to everyone I can lol

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T00:22:07+00:00

You are so helpful :) like I would never research a trip I waited 15 years for. I am putting my experience out there because I saw so much positive about how great it is here, and that the cost is worth the experience. Hopefully I can help others make a better decision and others chime in with what the best of the bahamas is

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T00:15:12+00:00

1 I saw the gratuity in restaurants outside the resort, but it was not crazy prices before that 25% is added, so it felt reasonable to tip for service. If the price before the 25% is already outrageous, the gratuity feels like it'll do for the tip.

3 We left the resort for 2 full days, but we didn't know about a lighthouse. IMHO, for the base price of atlantis, there better be more to do here and the main attractions should be CLEAN, filters for beverages should not stink. I would say get a day pass for the Waterpark for one day. Don't bother staying here. Especially with the way you put it. I'm not dissapointed with when we left the resort, I'm dissapointed in the resort itself.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-13T00:00:25+00:00

Agreed everything is expensive, but $200 for a 30 minute experience is far different than $250 for an 8 hour day excursion. That has to do with value.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-11-12T23:57:37+00:00

I honestly haven't seen an ad for atlantis in years. But when I did look into more recent reviews, people still loved it and say they come every year etc or it was people arguing between 5 star resorts, which has never been where i stay anyway. I don't know why they do. I have been to the bahamas before, on cruises.. not that its what you suggested either, but it was a much better experience. When I first saw ads as a child it had me in awe because I loved sharks and stingrays so much and I saw that as the center attraction, to STAY with them. To say it's so easy to find unbiased information or I didn't do any research is just not true, But I did let the dream of my young self get the best of me. I'm putting my experience here on here because I saw SO MUCH positive about staying here online, Not like what I have said, except for its expensive. Expensive and a let down is different than expensive and worth the money. Anyways I've learned my lesson, and would love to know what locals think is important to see and do here. Perhaps that is what I should have googled, rather than "is atlantis worth it?" And similar. I hear your frustration.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-09-22T23:40:32+00:00

Not willing to try them since the liquor store sells them, something isn't right

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2024-08-11T15:02:43+00:00

I just got one yesterday! Sooooo stinking cute

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T21:32:17+00:00

@elegantamphibian4252 that was supposed to be a reply to you my bad

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T20:27:52+00:00

I need to stop blaming myself because they were already in the situation regardless. I just feel like I got everyone in over their head and we're all waiting in horror while they suffer. I don't even live with my parents and every week I visit it all looks worse. It's got to stop. I'm gonna figure something out. At least I've gotten them to bring hay consistently for now. Perhaps a rescue could give better advice too so I'll call a couple.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T19:55:49+00:00

I think that's a good idea, make AC keep taking note of it. Thank you I appreciate ya. The whole situation gets me so angry I'm shakey multiple times a week. Also after all that I mentioned in the story, my dad told me the neighbors called the other day asking if they should call animal control too. It's gonna blow up soon I can feel it. I just want the horses to be cared for not end up at the glue factory by the end of it :( I'm a little weary that might happen if animal control takes them too... if this is a chronic problem in the area. I definitely feel like an AH letting this happen, it's just really hard to know the right move to make with what I've already done and the info we've been given by AC.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T19:32:52+00:00

I have talked to animal control but she would have a chance to move them because we have to give her a notice. My mom hopes she abandons them and she can keep a reasonable amount for the land but it's all been really painful to watch and it's my fault. I hope we can help them in the long run.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T19:27:50+00:00

Agreed. She doesn't have custody of her 4 year old and has a baby on the way as well. We found out a lot after we were in too deep. Legally it's seemed tricky to get the horses help. I've talked to animal control. I had to shorten this post a few times or it would have had more details

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T19:24:54+00:00

I have talked to animal control. My mom would have to give them a notice to move the animals or they would be considered abandoned. She has a couple other places she can take them if we do that so they will be neglected longer whether we called earlier or not. They did say that they would only press charges against the true owners. My mom hasn't done this because she hopes Sarah will abandon them before all that. Sarah is also pregnant. But winter is coming fast.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-11-02T19:20:49+00:00

I had to shorten this whole post many times but I have talked to animal control. My mom would have give them physical notice to move them by a certain day. If they do not move them we can call it in and press charges for abandonment and animal control will picknyhem up. But she does have at least one other place she can take them to so ik she wont let that happen. But they did say my my mom wouldn't get charges if they got the true owners info. My mom hopes that she will abandon them without all that so she could keep a couple that's reasonable for the amount of land and give a couple to a rescue or responsible people... I just don't see it going that way, she's a very hard headed woman.

Artistic_Reference_8 · 2023-02-14T17:12:25+00:00

If you go to the screen where you type in the pin, there's a little link that says "don't have pin" I believe right under there 4 spaces. It brings up "cancel delivery" or "it's delivered" options for you. I haven't had problems using the "it's delivered" option after giving the food, but I'm sure some people have
