More Info:
The Small Hope Bay Lodge is an informal holiday resort that focuses around the central lodge built of coral rock and Andros pine. Comfortable couches and throw-pillows create a friendly home-like atmosphere. The Lodge houses a dining area, lounge/bar area, game room and reading room.
There is also a small boutique on the premises, a separate building for office administration and guest services and a staffed laundry facility. There is an outdoor patio bar and dining area for summer-night barbecues.
There are no phones (phone/fax/internet for guest use in the office), no newspapers, no TVs, no keys. Emphasis is on a natural environment with relaxing, low-impact lifestyle. There is no dress code -- bare feet, T-shirts, sarongs, anything (except neckties) is acceptable.
Small Hope Bay Lodge offers 14 private cabins and 4 family cabins (2 rooms sharing 1bath). We specialize in vacations featuring snorkeling and scuba diving, fishing, bird watching, eco-tours, weddings and honeymoons and of course, "rest, relaxation and rediscovery."

Caribbean Travel Tip
Driving in the Caribbean
If you plan to rent a car, be aware that most jurisdictions of the Caribbean drive on the left. The only places where you drive on the right are Aruba, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, and the Netherlands Antilles. In other places, if you are not used to driving on the left, proceed slowly and with utmost caution. You may wish to ride as a passenger for a while before trying to drive yourself.
Driving conditions and local driving patterns are different from the U.S. Many roads are narrow or winding, signs may not be in English, and in some places, domestic animals roam freely. Defensive driving is a must.
