Pros: Great diving, beautiful location, relaxing, easy to get to
Cons: You need to create your own nightlife

I had the time of my life at Small Hope Bay Lodge. I felt relaxed from the moment I saw that crystal clear water. Check-in occurs at their outside bar and you are surrounded by beautiful views everywhere you look. The outdoor patio has a quarter mile crescent beach to the left, the dock is slightly to the right and the beach where the cabins are further to the right. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the staff friendly, the food good, and the other guests quite interesting. The diving is not to be missed. I learned a lot from their divemasters. In addition to diving, there is snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, nature trails, and a few bikes. I will definitely be coming back for a future visit. Check out www.smallhope.com.
