COVID-19 Update

As travel opens back up, we know you may have questions. Here at Small Hope, we have undergone The Bahamas’ Clean & Pristine certification to make sure our cleaning, social distancing, and testing meet industry best practices. We can’t wait to see you!

Call or email us for help or information on the travel visa or requirements!

WE OFFER ANTIGEN TESTS ON PROPERTY

  • All travellers (vaccinated and unvaccinated) are no longer required to take an additional COVID-19 tests to travel domestically (inter-island) within The Bahamas.
  • I’m fully vaccinated. What are The Bahamas’ requirements?
    • As of June 19, 2022, fully vaccinated travellers will no longer be required to submit a pre-travel COVID-19 testing to enter the country. Instead, valid proof of vaccination must be presented before boarding a flight to The Bahamas.
    • Fully vaccinated travellers will not be required to submit the Bahamas Travel Health Visa.
    • Fully vaccinated travellers are exempt from completing the daily Health Questionnaire.

CANCELLATION & DEPOSIT POLICY

After 30 days, it can be applied to a new date of stay. If your reservation is cancelled for a COVID-19-related reason we will refund that deposit up to 14 days before your stay. After 14 days we will transfer that deposit onto a new travel date—valid forever!

A COVID-19 REASON IS DEFINED AS:
Border closure or compulsory quarantine, either in The Bahamas or your country of origin or contracting COVID-19 before your stay.
