Description:
Welcome to Small Hope Bay Lodge, since 1960 we have been hosting scuba divers, nature lovers, and friends at our out island getaway in the Bahamas. Let us introduce you to this unique island, from dramatic scuba diving, the best snorkeling sites, world class bonefishing and more. Unspoiled and virtually undiscovered. Andros Island, Bahamas is a world apart from the crowds and is a true Bahamas Vacation.
What is your idea of the perfect island vacation? If it is scuba diving one of the largest and most unexplored barrier reefs in the world, great snorkeling, superb bonefishing, laying in a hammock, exploring nature, more Bahamas diving, having a cold Kalik, strolling on the beach, reading a good book, meeting interesting people, spending time with your family, or by yourself, I think that I have the place for you.
This small Bahamas all-inclusive resort is more than just another Bahamas hotel, we are the most established dive resort in the Caribbean. Our environment is very safe, peaceful, secluded, and a great romantic getaway. Come join us for a new adventure, a true Bahamas experience, a family vacation, a relaxing holiday retreat on the beach, or the Caribbean vacation of your dreams.
About
Small Hope is an informal holiday resort located on Andros Island, Bahamas that focuses around the central lodge built of coral rock and Andros pine. A friendly home-like atmosphere is created by comfortable couches and throw-pillows. The Lodge houses a dining area, lounge/bar area, game room and reading room. Our unique and relaxed atmosphere makes this not your typical Bahamas hotel.
There is also a small boutique on the premises, a separate building for office administration and guest services and a staffed laundry facility. There is an outdoor patio bar and dining area for summer-night barbecues that overlooks the ocean.
Emphasis is on a natural environment with relaxing, low-impact lifestyle. As such, there are no phones (phone/fax/internet for guest use in the office), no newspapers, and no TVs. There is no dress code -- bare feet, T-shirts, sarongs, anything (except neckties) are perfectly acceptable. This is the epitome of a relaxed Bahamas out island resort.
Rooms
Twenty-one rooms in cottages located directly on the beach, each hand built of coral rock and Andros Pine with overhead ceiling fans (half of the rooms have air-conditioning), locally made furniture, decorated in Androsia Batik fabrics, and all with a view of the sea. Each has private toilet/shower facilities and is fully tiled. King-size beds and single beds are available. There are four two-bedroom cottages for families, as well as a special "honeymoon cottage." All are shaded by palms and located on the Bay just a few steps from the water. To the north of the cottages is a separate secluded swimming beach.
Features and activities description: Small Hope Bay lodge has activities for everyone! Diving on the third largest barrier reef in the world, world-class bonefishing, deep sea and reef fishing too, kayaking, bicycling, nature walks, island tours, and visits to the local Batik factory are just some of the things to enjoy here. Or just pick up a good book and pick out your favorite hammock!
