My husband and I stayed at Small Hope from Aug. 6-12th with 1 night on either end in Nassau. SH is a beautiful setting with a hard-working staff, and I would recommend it mostly for experienced divers who are looking for deep or more adventurous dives such as blue holes, shark, and night dives. Diving: I went with an Open... more

I am a single female who loves to travel alone. I desperately needed a vacation. I almost died a year ago and wanted to go somewhere remote, beautiful, on the ocean, and very quiet to celebrate my life. After much searching, I chose Small Hope Bay Lodge on Andros Island in the Bahamas. I was there for five days/four nights.... more

1. This IS a dive resort. Sure I guess non-divers could snorkel and still have a great time but it's all about diving and there’s pretty much nothing else on the island. I love the three dives per day schedule and the later than usual 9am morning dive. If you don't plan to dive or snorkel you will probably not... more

My son (17) and I just returned today from a 10 day stay at Small Hope Bay Lodge. Amongst other good things, this place will restore your faith in humanity.

Well folks.. So many reviews and weak pictures.. LET ME SHARE MY STUFF!! Just got back from SH (5/25-29). Totaled 6 divers ranging from 22-31. All in all this was a great spot and enjoyed our stay very much. I will break down the review for everyone.. Resort: The resort itself was about 10mins from Andros airport. Small, yet cozy..... more

this was exactly what I was looking for to celebrate my 50th b-day. I wanted to be able to wake up to it on a warm, sunny beach! I loved the informality of Small Hope - didn't have to dress up, and ended up going barefoot a lot of the time. The staff were wonderful, as well as other guests.... more

Small Hope Bay brings to mind holidays spent as a kid in the Bahamas. It has a quaint style which has come back in much the same way as the Tiki movement (see tikibartv.com). Its a diver/fisher focused gem of a lodge. Its inexpensive for what you get. It is truly all-inclusive (no additional taxes or fees, and a quality... more

This was our fourth trip back -- our first visit being in 1988. So little has changed since then, and that's a good thing. The most noticable differences: The dive shack has been rebuilt and is bigger The canopy over the outside bar is larger The resort is now a PADI resort. Dick Birch is no longer with us. The... more
