Small Hope Bay Lodge

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

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!

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.
