Two Family’s of Friends

When we were shopping around for a vacation, we looked at tons of websites to find a place for our family’s vacation, after spending time on the phone and exchanging emails with the staff, we settled on Small Hope Bay Lodge.

We arrived and were immediately offered drinks and lunch. We spent our first night weathering a tropical storm. The cabins are rustic but sturdy and at 20 feet from the water, it was an amazing kick off to a great week.

We have made new friends, gained new skills (SCUBA for 12 year olds) and relaxed. The setting while rustic, is beautiful and scène. Everyone was extremely helpful and lovely. We travelled with a 1 year old and found it very easy to accommodate. We will be back next year!!!

We recently had some returnee guest who has been coming to Small Hope for over twelve years. It was good planning on all party’s part that they got to meet up this year for a few days. To catch up at Small Hope were they all  first meet.

Lisa & Jim, who are both keen dives, enjoyed being back in the water with new and old dive masters. Jim also enjoy a few afternoons of bone fishing with Giles.

Giles, Paula and Alex arrive next. Alex has been an intern here the last two summers. Alex is a keen diver and this summer enjoy the diving while only having to intern for part of his summer. Giles is a mad keen fisherman who comes to Small Hope both for the diving and the bone fishing. Paula is a diver and also enjoys the relax atmosphere that is Small Hope.

Dan, Cynthia & Casey are all divers. Casey started coming here when she was just 3, she is now 13. Casey learnt to dive at Small Hope and also enjoys the chance to relax. Dan and Cynthia are both divers and take this opportunity to enjoy some diving and good conversation with other guest.

It was great to see all them together and reminisce about times gone by and how when coming back to Small Hope it is like returning home as everything is familiar and just as you let it.

Friends from Scotland

We were luckly enough to have a visit from Nick, Tory, John and Lizzie from Scotland this summer and here are a few words from them about there stay here at Small Hope....

We originally came to Small Hope Bay Lodge only to snorkel, because Nick had seen the resort in 1000 Places to see before you die!

To begin with we were not sure if the children would enjoy it, but as it turned out we have all had a wonderful time.

The adults in particular liked the snorkeling, the food and the company. Lizzie (12) loved snorkeling, diving, Captain Bills Blue Hole and Rex Small Hope’s dog.

John (16) thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn to dive and the company in the evenings.

SHBL welcomes the Wombles

This past week, Father and Son, James and Ben Womble visited Small Hope Bay for the first time. Looking for a bone-fishing trip, James and Ben spent several days out at Red Bay, our local bone fishing hot spot. Although their goal was to come and fish, both of them fell in love with our diving. James and Ben took our Discover Scuba diving course and dove one of our local site, Peter’s Mystery Special. Click here to see a video of the Father-Son duo talk about their time vacationing at SHBL.

“We the Wombles, Father and Son (17), spent our first 5 days at Small Hope Bay Lodge. Our activities included bone fishing and diving. We dove 2 days and fished 2 full and 2 half days. Those were wonderful days. Nothing else compares to floating the flats at Red Bay, except maybe the beauty of the coral. The evening fellowship and the meals served to top off this heavenly place. Thank you Small Hope Bay Lodge! We love you!” – James and Ben Womble Pin It Now!
