“Great fishing and Nice people at Small Hope!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

My son and I went there for a fishing trip as a present to him for finishing up at college. I read the reviews before hand, but we were still just expecting a couple days of fishing. We had a great time. Jeff and all the staff were very professional and friendly. The rooms are little more than sparce cottages,... More

Thanks for the review Joe. It was great having the two of you here. And thanks for the great Mahi Mahi catch. It was the best sashimi ever!!! I am glad you guys got to enjoy the laid back atmosphere here. It is one of my favorite things about Small Hope. Hope to see you both again! More

“Great, but not the Hilton”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Small Hope is a laid back, not fancy, very comfortable (if you discount the various insects which await you outside your room - but it is Andros Island - and that's part of it). The Good: 1. Staff and management. 2. Ambiance if you like a true beach side resort (waves lapping at the shore when you go to sleep... More

Thanks for the review. I love the title, since that is exactly what we are going for here. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have some excellent fishing (bonefish, deep sea and reef) here. I agree the bugs can be a nuisance but we do try to spray with an eco-friendly solution, and the... More

“Small Hope Bay Lodge is a bonefisherman and divers dream come true”

So this was our second trip to Small Hope bay lodge in Andros Bahamas, we loved it the first time, and loved it even more the second time. My fiance and I are fisherman, and have been to many different places, but Small Hope Bay lodge fulfills every desire we have for a vacation. The lodgings are simple, they are... More

“Expect the unexpected”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

Our initial impression was "oh dear". NOT that the site was misrepresented at all. We knew what to expect. Our final impression was " what a hidden gem!". So low key! The owner, Jeff, was present EVERY day,ALL day. We so admire his dedication, mission to the community ,staff and guests. If you need anything...the wonderful staff will do cartwheels... More

Thank you for the review. I am so happy that you two enjoyed your stay. Jeff is a great guy and he definitely keeps both guests and staff smiling all the time. We hope you two will be back soon for another visit! More

“Small Hope Bay - Andros Island, Bahamas: Diving & Snorkling”

After almost 30 years foolishly away, I returned with my son... thank you for not changing! What a wonderful, idyllic place -- absolutely perfect for us. Small, intimate, friendly, relaxed, gorgeous, and fabulous diving. Not to mention wonderful snorkeling, kayaking, bird-watching, trail-walking, and bicycling to the batik factory! Small Hope Bay is totally focused on diving and snorkeling; no glitz,... More

Thanks for the lovely review Kim! We are glad you finally came back too, and that you brought your son. I know all the Divemasters had a great time diving with him and we all enjoyed cocktail hour with you two. We hope you both come back much sooner than 30 years and Forrest can get some more dives in!

“Best. Honeymoon. Ever.”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

So, my wife and I spent a week at Small Hope Bay Lodge for our honeymoon and let me tell you, it was absolutely fantastic. We had decided we wanted to do an all inclusive resort but we didn't want one of those big, 300 room, commercial joints. We wanted something smaller, more personal and more relaxing. Small Hope Bay... More

Thanks guys! We absolutely loved having you guys stay with us. I am so glad your honeymoon was a great one. We all hope it will become an annual visit from you. FYI the Stormageddon is already a huge hit! See you soon! More

“Completely Unexpected Perfection!!”

So my kids wanted to go to Atlantis..ride water slides, drink $12 virgin smoothies and empty my wallet. OK Kids, we can go there but we are NOT going to stay for a week! I call my travel agent and tell her to find me the opposite of that and do 4 days of each. Holy moly did she hit... More

Thanks for the great review! I am so happy you and the kids enjoyed your stay here. It is true that we are just about as different as can be from Atlantis. That said many of our guests have opted for the "best of both worlds" experience like you and your family. A little excitement at the big touristy resort... More

“Bahamian Bliss”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

A story: During our stay at Small Hope Bay Lodge, my daughter and I used the available bikes and rode over to the Batik Factory for a tour and a lesson. While the word factory may be grandiose for this small enterprise, we had fun creating our own batik panels with the help of the staff. A few other people... More

Thank you for the great review. I am glad you received your last piece of Androsia fabric. It sounds like you guys had a great time here and that is always what we hope and try for.

“Diver's Paradise”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

Tons to do at this place - SCUBA, snorkeling, beaches, great fishing, etc. The dinners were AMAZING - a real gem for an all-inclusive. The rooms were spartan - but the lack of modern amenities like wifi (which is available in the mainhouse) and TV and even big lamps actually made the trip MORE relaxing for me. At night it... More

Thanks for the great review William. It sounds like you got to appreciate to true beauty of Andros and Small Hope - the tranquil beauty both on land and under the sea. It sounds like you are on your way to becoming a fully certified diver. Maybe next time we can do a full course. Or if you get certified... More

“Bahamas Diving at its Best”

I love to explore new places, but I keep going back to Small Hope Bay. I've been going back now for more than 35 years. It's a small resort with a casual, friendly spirit that you won't find elsewhere. Owner Jeff Birch, son of founder Dick Birch, hires and trains a congenial staff who maintain a distinctive culture. The diving... More

Thanks for the review Reid! It was great to have you back at Small Hope. I agree, the diving truly is beautiful, and so close too! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay, the staff and, of course the great food. I look forward to seeing you guys again soon! More
