If you prefer not to use a debit/credit card, you can pay cash for additional on-site and off-site activities, such as spa treatments and excursions, or make purchases in the gift shops, photoshops, and the like by charging the expense to your room, then paying with cash at the front desk.  The Bahamaian dollar and the US Dollar have an exchange rate of 1:1 and are both accepted.  Tipping is included in your package and is not allowed for anyone other than butler staff and spa employees.
