A perfect Bahamas Family Vacation needs something for everyone. Some family members are hyperactive, others want a bit of playtime and some relaxation, whilst others just wish to literally 'veg out' in the sun.

Small Hope Bay Lodge on Andros Island in the Bahamas is such a place.

It is just the most perfect getaway if you just want to relax, or go snorkelling, take diving lessons, go biking, walking or just spending your time buried in a good book whilst relaxing on the beach. You certainly won't be bored here at the all inclusive Small Hope Bay Lodge.

The accommodation in cottages is right on the beautiful white powder sand beach with plenty of hammocks and comfortable deck chairs. The beach sits next to the most perfect and calm turquoise water, and at night the stars come out and give you the most amazing sky you will probably ever see in your life. It is fair to say that this will be a somewhat rustic Bahamas family vacation, because Small Hope Bay Lodge isn't what you would call pretentious or upmarket. It is very much an environmentally conscious place, and all the more lovely for that. What this means in reality is that the rooms are simple clean and spacious. If you don't like this, and will miss sunken baths and Rain Showers, then go to Atlantis with nearly everybody else, and good luck to you.

Small Hope Bay Lodge is a place where you will fall asleep at night to the sounds of the waves, with a cooling breeze blowing over your face, and surely that is what holidays should be about. You can have air conditioning but the fans are more than enough.

Be warned however that Small Hope Bay Lodge isn't the kind of place for people who need all the apparent resort comforts that so many people sadly crave. Just don't come here if you need televisions, in room telephone, computer terminals, and mini bars because this won't be your kind of place.

This site on Andros Island is perfect if you like and appreciate good food, great and friendly staff, a personal service , and interesting people with an open bar as a bonus.
Unlike far too many resorts who welcome you with open arms and then lose interest in you within a day, you will find the staff at Small Hope Bay Lodge continue to care for you in some cases that we have heard of even after you have left but been delayed at the airport.

One of the ways to really enjoy a Bahamas Family Vacation, or any vacation for that matter is meeting interesting people, and because of the getaway from civilization and electronics at this resort tends to attract certain types of people you will certainly meet and have most interesting conversations with a huge variety of people. The fact that Small Hope Bay Lodge is family run makes a huge difference because the whole atmosphere feels so very personal.

Small Hope Bay Lodge is very much a barefoot paradise, because it is likely you will take your shoes off when you reach your room and not put them on again until you leave

Small Hope Bay Lodge can and will provide you with the kind of Bahamas Family Vacation on the delightful island of Andros that you have only dreamed of on cold winter nights at home.
