 Adult Rates:
- As we are an all-inclusive property, our adult rates are based upon per person double occupancy. Single travelers have the option of enjoying a private bedroom with a share bath in a two bedroom cottage, or paying a $95 a night surcharge for private bedroom with a private bath. Blackout dates may apply for the single supplement rate.
Children and Pre-Teens:
 Except during the summer months of mid June - early September, children must be with two full paying adults to qualify for their discounted rates. - Children 7 and under eat the evening dinner meal at the Kids table in Game Room with our babysitters and the other kids. Complimentary babysitting is provided from 6:00 pm to 8:45 pm for 2-7 year olds. Individual sitters for infants are easily arranged at a nominal fee. This allows the adults some adult time during cocktail and dinner hours and allows the kids time to be kids and play in the games room (or outside in the summer time). Babysitting can be arranged at any other time for a nominal fee.
- Your preteen kids (8-12) can also eat in the games room if they like, it is your choice.
- We have a limited number of two bedroom cottages for families with children. Cribs and extra cots available in all rooms at no extra charge. These family cottages are designed for 2 Adults and 2 or 3 Children, or 3 to 4 adults. If you have 2 Adults and 1 Child and want to stay in a family cottage as opposed to a private room / cottage your child or preteen must pay the adult rate.
- Resort course instruction and SCUBA certification is available to children ten years and older. SASY equipment (for a surface SCUBA experience) is available to kids 8 years and up.
- See our Family page for more information.

| SCUBA Diving & Snorkeling |
 |
| "Small Hope Bay Lodge offers what is reputed to be the third biggest barrier reef system in the world, and some of the finest of all Blue Hole diving into immense underwater cave systems. Then there is the famous wall, beginning at 22m and plunging down into the Tongue of the Ocean, a dive I shall never forget." |
--Bernard Eaton, Diver Magazine, March 1996

| --Charles Greenfield, Travel & Leisure Magazine, October 1996 |
