Here at Small Hope, there is a strong sense of tradition. We first opened our doors in 1960, and have been welcoming guests ever since then. We are a small, rustic, beach-front resort and we have no intention of getting bigger.
There are many resorts that say they are all inclusive. But many only include breakfast, and most do not include beverages or bar drinks. There can also be added resort fees.
At Small Hope Bay Lodge, we have been doing a Bahamian Night once every week or so for decades. On these nights we offer traditional Bahamian dishes like peas n' rice, coleslaw, conch salad, fresh snapper or grouper, and barbecue chicken to name a few. Also tasty desserts like our famous guava duff (yum!) . . .
But we've decided to dd some things to make it a truly Bahamian experience. This past week on Bahamian Night we had live local music by some of our very own staff, and topped the night off with a beach bonfire in our new bonfire pit!
Planning a wedding can be an exhausting and difficult task. So why not forget the hassle and have a beautiful, beach wedding in the Bahamas?
Leave the planning to us and just kick back and enjoy your special day! Whether you want a private event for just the two of you, or a big event with the whole resort full of your guests - we can make it happen.
Every day spent on this magical island is a treat. That said, New Year's Eve is hands down my favorite night of the whole year here!
It's another wonderful feast day (the others being US Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) which means our kitchen delights guests and staff alike with wonderful things like roasted pig, smoked turkey, stuffing, mashed sweet potatoes, grouper, shrimp, lobster, etc. Then bring on the desserts - again, a minimum of 20 desserts, like key lime pie, guava duff, sweet potato pie, bread pudding, all kinds of cookies, and so on . . .
After the feast the party really starts. Music starts rocking, people start dancing, drinks are imbibed. Our games room is turned into a craft shop. This is where EVERYONE makes a het. Hats are made from anything we've got - construction paper, felt, Androsia fabric, glitter, plastic jewels, feathers, and more! And they are meant to be representative of the past year.
Sometimes it is difficult to keep up an exercise regime while on vacation. OK, it's always difficult to keep up an exercise regime, but especially on vacation! At Small Hope, we have always offered our guests several ways to keep active while here - snorkeling, scuba diving, nature walks, kayaking, paddleboarding, etc. - but we also offer several ways to be inactive too, like hammocking or sampling our bar menu.
