Also used to live there, many friends still there....
As a single bloke, with some spare $$, as long as you like going to same bars all the time, and can get off the island regularly for dose of reality, then it is absolutely fantastic. Lots of hosties, although varied in quality (both looks & brains), and some who are only after Arabian $$$$$.
As a married guy w/kids, then yeah I guess it's good too, although differently : you gotta like "private country club" scene, as they form centre of social scene.
Weather is mixed - can be great in winter, albeit windy and even cold, and b!!!!y hot in summer.
Driving, shops and that stuff all OK, but of course not quite what you get in UK,USA or Aust etc.
And if you are married, then mind those GF girls...they could spoil your marriage if you're tempted by the cookie jar!
Don't know what it's like to be a woman in BAH! So excuse male oriented view.
