Is it true that even the "nice" resorts etc. in the Bahamas have cockroaches in the hotel rooms?
How prevalent is this and what can I do to avoid this? Should I call the hotel and have them spray the rooms before we check in? How would I know that they'd done it? We're invited to a wedding there at the end of June and I am starting to get pretty scared about roaches - a friend told me about how there was a roach in their bed (that was like 3 inches long) - at one of those nice 'all-inclusive' resorts... Please advise. Thanks! Additional Details Plus I'm sure the hotel staff etc. will probably act like "yeah - so there are roaches? it's the Bahamas - that's a common thing," etc. I would be so grossed out, scared, and uncomfortable!
Roaches have been here since the dawn of time. You can ask the hotel to spray, but that is something you might have to deal with. Nice places have nothing to do with it. They are next to impossible to get rid of.

I have a home in nassau and have stayed at many of thier hotels over the years and never saw a roach in any room. High end or low.
I'm sure there are some bugs in and around the property, but unless you're staying in some hole.. you won't be surprised by roaches.
Palmetto are sometimes seen in the porch areas.. and mosquitoes, of course when it's damp. Bring along a can of Raid if you're afraid of bugs.. that will certainly alieviate any fears.
Here is a wonderful travel website, that I use myself a lot.

Bahamas have the Palmetto bugs, which look like big roaches. It is not much you can do about it. I would suggest you pack your "Raid" and when you arrive look around real good and just spray in the kitchen and bathroom areas before you bring your things in. They like to be around water.
Who knows, you may luck out and won't have to deal with them.

I agree with "Firebug" the responder...if it happens well so be it...it is not the end of the world...it it is the end of the world, they will still be "chilling" at the hotels, homes and where ever. So go and have fun...

I have been to the Bahamas 3 times and I have never had a cockroach in my room. I wouldn't like it either. All the good hotels spray because they know it's a turn off. Relax and check out the room and bathroom before you settle in.
Good Luck. Have a great trip

I stayed at Sandals and had no bugs at all in the room. I guess places can't control all insects that may be around, but it shouldn't be a big deal. If it is, I'm sure that a nicer hotel or resort will come in and spray for you. Have fun!

Bugs are everywhere, no matter what destination you visit, just hope you don't have the room with them.........
