Breakfast

7:00 AM to 10:00 AM

Start your day with a relaxed continental breakfast featuring fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, granola, bagels, and toast. Prefer something hot? Choose from made-to-order eggs, omelets, French toast, or pancakes, with sides like bacon, sausage, ham, or grits. We also serve coffee, milk, and juice — plus a different Bahamian breakfast special each morning to spice things up.

Lunch

12:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Lunch at Small Hope is served buffet-style on our scenic waterfront patio. Enjoy a delicious assortment of options — from the build-your-own sandwich and salad bar made with locally grown produce to daily hot dishes and homemade desserts. There’s always something fresh, flavorful, and satisfying to refuel you for the afternoon.

Cocktail Hour

6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Belly up to the bar and get ready for a feast. Unwind to island music, order an always-free drink, and indulge in the best conch fritters in The Bahamas! Appetizers such as fresh vegetable crudité and spinach dips, chips with salsa and guacamole, and homemade hummus are just a few of our faves.

Dinner

7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

Dinner at Small Hope is served buffet-style and enjoyed in true family-style fashion — a favorite way to unwind and share stories with fellow guests. Each evening features plentiful salad options, a homemade soup, and our signature freshly baked Bahamian Johnny Bread. You’ll always find one seafood entrée and one meat or poultry dish, along with a variety of vegetarian-friendly sides to round out the meal.

Dessert

LUNCH & DINNER

Dessert is practically its own meal at Small Hope Bay and several options are served with both lunch and dinner. They range from delicious pies and fresh-baked cakes to tempting cookies hot out of the oven. Local treats include Guava Duff and Pineapple Upside Down Cake, and we encourage you to indulge in every bite!

CHILDREN’S
DINING

Kids should enjoy their vacation too! Children 7 and under have dinner together in the Games Room. There are complimentary babysitters for children between the ages of 2-7 and supervised activities and games to keep the kids entertained while the adults enjoy a great meal on our terrace or in the lounge.

CELEBRATIONS

Celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion? We want to celebrate with you! Let us know in advance and we’ll bake a special cake and deliver it tableside with a Bahamian flourish. Or order breakfast in bed for a romantic treat.

Holiday
Feasts

Four times a year we go completely overboard and prepare a special holiday feast. Come celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve at Small Hope Bay. Menu highlights include a roasted pig, stuffed turkey, grilled seafood, sautéed vegetables, and no less than a dozen scrumptious desserts!
