Small Hope Bay Lodge

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.

My family of 5 (3 teen daughters) returned recently from a wonderful vacation at Small Hope Bay. We all loved it. The location is amazing, Andros is really incredible to visit. We were there in December, and the weather was not perfect (windy and a little chilly), but we were able to find activities to do each day. We were not certified to dive prior to our trip, so all 5 of us participated in the resort dive course (which was so easy and user friendly). That enabled us to go on the shallow dives each day and it was magical for my family. The dive masters/ambassadors are an incredible team and work really hard to make sure everyone is accommodated for whatever activity suits. The cabins are simple but very clean and comfortable and the location is phenomenal. We also loved the small size of the property and the welcoming energy of the staff. The service level is fantastic!! Every single person that works there is so gracious. The only thing preventing me from a 5 star review is the food is a little limited and by the end of a week, we were ready for some variety.

Hidden Gem We loved the small friendly feel of Small Hope. The dive operation and variation of sites was excellent and some of the best we have experienced. Staff was all helpful and friendly and the food was delicious!

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

This place is hard to describe with words--because you feel it in your heart. Went with our dear friends (another couple) as a belated celebration of a big birthday. The best way I can think of describing Small Hope Bay relates to if you ever went to summer camp and thought it was AWESOME. It's like a summer camp for adults where all the counselors are amazing, friendly, and lovely; all the fellow campers are your new best friends; all the activities are plentiful and terrific; the food is hearty and yummy; all the times are filled with laughter and joy; and there's an open bar! The team is remarkable, the diving excellent, and there's plenty of repeat visitors--which says a lot.

Beautiful place with an outstanding staff that will take care of anything you need!
