you'd better come back, Trish, if you want a new Reef Police hat!
But to get back on topic, the wi-fi can be hit or miss. When it's working well, there is a charge & you can arrange to pay it and get the password at Reception. When it's "iffy" they refund the charge for anyone who's paid, and then it's basically free for anyone with no password needed. We found that where you are in the Village makes a big difference, with the best chance of dependable access either near Reception (including in the Verve Lounge Bar area)or out by the Sea Center, where you're actually pretty close to the airport. If your room happens to be near either of those locations, you may also have wi-fi access in your room, but sometimes it almost seems to depend on which way the wind's blowing. Same thing regarding location applies for cell phone service, by the way (assuming your cell phone will work in the Bahamas; some US phones do and others don't).
Just keep in mind that it is a small island, quite far from everything, and even the "land-line" phone service is via satelite and can be quirky. That's just part of the joy of "getting away from it all".....
