We Have a Brand New Hot Tub . . . and it's Awesome!

While we typically have ideal weather all year round, star gazing in a beachside hot tub, or a quick soak after 2 morning dives really can't be beat!

And it just got better at Small Hope because we have a brand new, luxury, deluxe, beach side hot tub!!!!!


The new tub is bigger, with a bench all the way around, and like the old one, completely heated by our solar power!!! And included in our all-inclusive rates!

Come down and see for yourself . . .

A Kid-Friendly resort in the Bahamas!

When planning a vacation, we always want to make sure we find the right fit. This goes double for kids. Cuz when the kids have a great vacation, the whole family has a great vacation!

At Small Hope Bay Lodge, we know this and do our best to ensure the kids have a blast! We also like to give the parents a wonderful and, most importantly, stress-free vacation.

We are located in a secluded and very safe area. With two private beaches, we give the kids the space to roam around and explore but remain on property. We have a Games Room just for kids! (It's even being completely renovated right now - photos coming soon!). In there we have a kiddie castle, arts and crafts, their own cubbies, a ping pong table. We have a swing set with attached fort, located right on the beach so they can swing in style. We have Nature programs for the kids who want to learn more about our environment and the flora and fauna around the resort.

Our Kids Dining program is one that has been proven to be great for both parents and kids. At 6 pm, the kids go to our Games room with one of our highly capable babysitters. There, they have their meal together (kid-friendly meals or the adult menu of the day - their choice!). After dinner, they play, or make crafts, a play games. This gives the kids time to be just kids and the grown ups time for some adult time with the other adults at our cocktail hour and dinner.

We have Family Packages available or you can make you own! Call us for more info at 800-223-6961 or email at info@smallhope.com!


Not a bad view for the kids fort, huh?

A Perfect Destination for Families . . . .


This little resort, hidden away on beautiful Andros Island, is an ideal vacation spot for families! As an all-inclusive resort, it makes your trip easy. We are family owned and operated since the very beginning and family is very important to us.

We have Family Cabins, which are two-bedroom cabins with a shared bath. They usually have a king-size bed on one side and two single beds on the other side, but you can request other configurations to suit your needs.

We have complimentary babysitting for kids age 2-7 (small fee for a personal babysitter for infants). The kids eat in the Games Room with their babysitter, and get a special kids' menu (though they are welcome to the same menu as the grown ups). This has been a tradition since the beginning and it works great! It give kids the space and time to be kids, and adults get to be adults! Win-win.

We have a swing set and kiddie castle. We have a Young Ranger and a Young Naturalist Program. We teach kids 10 and up to scuba dive. We teach kids under 10 swimming, snorkeling, or our SASY class, which is surface scuba diving for kids.

The kids here have a blast and parents get a worry-free, stress-free holiday! That's why so many families come back to Small Hope, year after year . . .

Davis Creek Kayak Tour . . .

Davis Creek is a great spot for paddling around in a kayak or paddleboard. We will sometimes even offer a guided kayak tour, but our guests usually just pick a kayak and take the adventure on their own.




The creek is a great nursery for small fish, sharks, and rays. And on the way out of the mouth has got some excellent snorkeling. Just pull the kayak up on the beach and snorkel till your heart's content!

It's a great activity for any day of the week and great for all ages!

Our Beautiful, Bright Cabins, and Custom Androsia decor!

Small Hope was opened in 1960, and we have been going strong for over 55 years now! Our cabins were built one at a time by Dick Birch and his family. They started with Cabin 1, and when they finished the construction of each the family would live in each cabin as they progressed. They are constructed from Andros pine and coral rock. Each one is a little different from the rest too!



But they all have some things in common: They all have tile floors, ceiling fans, A/C, a comfortable living space, a reading chair, a safe, and two outside chairs for watching the beautiful scenery. They also all have comfy beds with Androsia runners and Androsia wall hangings.



Androsia was started in 1973 and has been in the Birch family from the beginning. They make beautiful hand-made Batik fabrics. And they bring beautiful bright colors to all our beachfront cabins!

Dolphins!!!!!

You can't help but smile we you spot dolphins. We see them often (though not as often as we'd like) around the bay, as well as to and from our dive and snorkel sites. Check out a great video of one of these spottings!
