Small Hope Bay Lodge

A beautiful, small, well maintained all inclusive diving resort. Located right on the beach on the eastern shore of Andros Island. The friendly staff made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The food and drinks are delicious and plentiful. They offer dives to satisfy divers of all levels. Definitely a place to try out and return to!

All of the staff acts as if it is their personal responsibility that each guest is having a great time and that all of their needs are met. We arrived in a storm on a Saturday, and the rain did not let up until early Sunday. It was a little bit of a bummer for it to be stormy and ugly as soon as you arrive. We had a welcome drink and a description of how things worked there, while they were taking our bags to our rooms. We went to our rooms, got the optional AC going, and it was nice and comfortable. We had dinner inside on the first night due to the rain, but were fortunate that we were able to have dinner inside every other night but one. Nassau and Miami were getting pounded with rain all that week, so we were fortunate. Dennis, Ricardo, Montene, Noelle, Yente, Ed, Bonnie, Jay, Liam, George, Dillon, and Mia were all outstanding. They made the trip special for us. The Androsia shop is a nice place to visit and close by. We went on a snorkeling trip, as we are too old to take up diving now, and one of us is deathly afraid of sharks (not me)! But the beach water and the scenery is amazing! I don’t ever get tired of it. We witnessed sea turtles kayaking in the mangroves, rays, starfish, and numerous fish on the seemingly empty beach! Shout out to Rick and Terri for passing on their ice chest! Filled with Kaliks every day we stayed on the beach, and passed it on! Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

Exactly what the Doctor ordered! Great place, great staff, perfect location! I did not want to have to think about what to do, where to go, or when to do it! Honestly the best vacation I have had in years! Just the basics, but it is super clean, food and drinks were plenty and yummy! Thank you sooo much! I really needed this vacation to go smoothly. Kitchen staff...you work hard, and it showed...so yummy! Best cookies ever! Dive crew....I do not even know where to begin....Frogman, Moth man, Sunshine, 007, Mumbles, Grumpy, and I forgot Noel's! Oh well....you all gave me the best birthday eva! Do not keep Julie up so late next time!! Love you all! Janice

We visited 5 years ago and wondered if we would love it as much as our last trip and we did!!!! If you love fishing( thanks Ricardo and Glister), diving, snorkeling, kayaking, beach reading, amazing staff, and fabulous food Small Hope Bay is for you!!!! If you are looking for a fancy resort with multiple pools and lots of people it is NOT for you!!!! Small Hope Bay is a jewel with the most beautiful water I’ve ever seen; a place where staff and guests eat dinner together to share their day, and a place where if you are seeking solitude it’s there for you among the palms!!!!! We won’t let 5 years go by before we visit again!!!

This was our second visit to Small Hope Bay Lodge, just as fantastic if not more so than the first. Firstly the team there are all amazing, you are made to feel at home from the moment you get there. Nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation works well as a family having inter-joining cabins. With very comfortable beds. From fishing to diving we were kept very well entertained and looked after all week. We will be returning!

A truly special place. Great opportunity to unplug with family. Outstanding stuff who are ambassadors. Diving nirvana. Staff is combination of island natives who have been at Small Hope forever and others from all over the world. Roll out of bed and walk to breakfast or to the dive boat out on the dock. Can’t say enough about the staff. This is not Atlantis on Nassau, so if you are looking for that kind of thing xperience look elsewhere. We will be back.
