Wonderful place, wonderful staff, great dive professionals, shark dive was fantastic and the food was great. There is a very welcoming, unique and lovely vibe that is intentionally managed. I definitely plan to return. Next time I will bring sweaters. I wasn’t prepared for the chill.

This was one of the greatest laid back resort I have ever been to. Just 20 or so cabins right on the beach. The all inclusive package is just that, everything you could want for and even serve yourself if the staff are busy elsewhere :-) The cabin was excellent, clean, comfortable bed and hammocks and sun beds outside your door. The cleanliness was top rate. The food was expansive, high quality and very varied. The kitchen staff so king, polite and welcoming. The Chef announces the dinner menu personally every night. Now to the dive team. Top Team who need an award. They could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. I wanted to see sharks and they showed me sharks! Montené was the best ever along with the rest of the team (too many to name). Then there is Jeff to owner, what a cool guy. He visited and chatted often making us feel really at home. If you can get to the Bahamas go to Small Bay Hope Lodge. You will love it! We did.

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

My husband and I were looking for a "laid back", all inclusive resort in the Bahamas - happily we stumbled into exactly what we were looking for. Small Hope Bay Lodge is a beautiful and lovingly maintained piece of paradise! The cottages, built of island pine and sandstone, are nestled among palm trees and other tropical vegetation along a sandy path that follows the contour of the sea. The cottages are well appointed and cleaned daily. Crystal clear water in sight at all times. Wonderful snorkeling from the beach or you can be taken (along with a picnic lunch and umbrella) to a nearby small island. If diving is your thing, the crew goes out twice a day and even makes video that all the guests watch in the evenings. The fishing is plentiful and many evenings the fish we ate were the fish that was caught that day. The lodge itself has many book and photos of the early days of the lodge and books about the "blue holes" that are found around Andros. I was happy to visit Androsia, the batik factory and gift shop started by the original owners in the 1960s which is still operating...If you are so inclined, you can batik your own shirt or piece of fabric. The food is plentiful and delicious. All the staff are amazing - so friendly and professional. We didn't want to leave and we will definitely be back

The first time My wife and I went to Small Hope was 1988. Now you need to understand, it is on Andros Island, the least populated of the Bahamian Islands. If you want to go out and Island party at night, stay in Nassau. Even back in the Eighties we were captivated by the setting (every cabin is on the water) the staff (every staff member but the cooking staff is a Master Diver) and the owner.(Jeff is second generation . His dad, Dick built the place). We just returned from our sixth stay. My wife is a master diver. I read books. Our daughter is a newbie diver. We all had a blast. There is always someone to assist you. The food is excellent ~ mostly local. (No theme restaurants here). The crowd is nothing short of amazing. Professionals, academics,scientists, farmers, fisherman, business people guerilla divers and everything in between. Most guests never leave the property except for a fishing excursion, a kayaking ride through the mangroves or a bike ride. But the best part is every night the guests eat together, and get time to know each other. You never know who you might meet. The accommodations are basic, but clean and comfortable. You have plenty of privacy, and you can enjoy yourself whether you dive, read, fish kayak or just chill. This place is a hidden Jem for those who are comfortable in their own skin.

Small Hope is a truly lovely place to unwind, on the gorgeous beaches, kayaking in the mangroves, hand fishing off the dock or relaxing on your own little slice of paradise on Goat Key. The rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable. The food is fresh and local. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Being basically unplugged was perfect. It’s easy to see why it was rated best of the best.

Small Hope is an incredibly special place. It’s absolutely beautiful and simple in the best way. Time moves slowly and you can make each day as calm or adventurous as you want. Everyone—from the kitchen staff to dive staff to desk staff—is just top notch. We had a very memorable family vacation and can’t wait to come back. Our favorite days were the day on Goat Key, the day we had the whole beach and bay to ourselves, and our girls’ (13,17) first SCUBA dives. The cabins are clean and quaint and had way more room in them than we expected. The food really exceeded our expectations. The conch ceviche was the best! Thanks for having us, Small Hope.
