Small Hope Bay Lodge Review

Small Hope Bay Lodge
$-$$, Andros
Fodor's Review:
This casual, palm-shaded oceanfront property has a devoted following of divers, snorkelers, eco-adventurers, anglers, and families. Rooms with Androsia batik prints and straw work are in beachside cottages made of coral rock and Andros pine. The homey main lodge -- with a dining room, bar-lounge, game room, and reading area -- is the center of activity. Tasty Bahamian meals include lavish seafood buffets and pig roasts. For an additional charge you can select bonefishing and specialty diving packages, such as guided explorations of blue holes, diving instruction and certification, and "over-the-wall" dives. Rates include meals, taxes, service charges, and airport transfers.

Everything we hoped for
Posted by brockh from San Diego, CA on 12/26/07
We spent a week at SHBL in July 2007. The people, the attitude, the atmosphere, etc. were all we'd hoped for. We wanted a very laid back, relaxed, un-glitzy place where we could relax, snorkle and just enjoy the beach and water. Without a single exception the people were great. There wasn't much of a dividing line between staff and guests so everyone got to know one another quickly. If you can accept that the rooms are a bit rustic and only some have a/c, you should enjoy SHBL. Although we didn't have kids with us, those who did seemed to really enjoy it as well. One of the few places we've been where we'd have no hesitation about going back-probably to stay even longer.Great Location, Great Staff, Great Diving and more

Small Hope may be a bit rustic, but if you want a beautiful beach, great diving, snorkeling, and fishing, good service and staff and all-inclusive to boot (including help yourself bar) ... then this is the place for you.
