I recently visited Small Hope Bay Lodge with my daughter to celebrate her college graduation. This was my third visit to Small Hope and her second. Midway through our trip we were already kicking ourselves for not scheduling a longer time there! So much to do, so little time!
Small Hope is really like summer camp for adults. The accommodations...

Small Hope was a great honeymoon spot for this newlywed. My wife and I were able to relax and do things at our own pace. I tried bone-fishing and she had a massage during our trip. Both were excellent. The food was fantastic for every meal and the staff made us feel like a part of the family. I have...

Whether it is a deep dive over the wall, a shark dive or a shallow dive, the dive staff is professional and the...

My husband and I, both divers, stayed at Small Hope this April (2012) for a week. The staff, especially the diving staff, was wonderful. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely accomodating. The cave/blue hole diving was fantastic, and the shark dive was fun. Even got to snorkel with dophins! The fish life wasn't as abundant as we would have liked,...

The best thing about this place is the staff. They are kind, sincere, knowledgeable, interesting, and professional. They were absolutely lovely, and we truly enjoyed meeting them and learning from them. But we would never go back to this resort, and here's why:
Buried low on one of their website pages it reads, "It is a Small Hope tradition that...

Want to escape to the edge of the earth and unplug from the world? Small Hope Bay is the place. We were amazed that this place is only 100 miles or so from the hustle and bustle of south Florida. Upsides include friendly, relaxed fellowship, secluded beach, good food, great diving and fishing and helpful staff. The ambiance is the...
