Belizean Dreams Resort

We just returned from a 10-day stay at Belizean Dreams Resort, and it exceeded our expectations in nearly every way. If you’re looking for a beautifully maintained, locally owned resort with a strong sense of place and community, this is it. The location is stunning. Every unit has a direct view of the Caribbean Sea from the front porch, and the grounds are lush, clean, and meticulously cared for. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and tastefully furnished—many of the furnishings are actually handcrafted on site, which adds a special touch. The food is fresh and high quality. Much of the produce is locally sourced, and the Belizean buffet in particular was delicious. Dinner service feels special without being formal—there’s no dress code, but many guests opt for something a little nicer in the evening. We appreciated the effort that goes into every meal. The staff is outstanding—consistently friendly, professional, and attentive. Special thanks to Alex in the restaurant and Bruno at the bar, both of whom brought warmth and personality to our experience. Stephanie at the concierge desk was also a standout—gracious, organized, and helpful. The drivers are friendly and engaging, which made all of our excursions and transfers smooth and enjoyable. The tours and activities were another highlight. The resort’s guides are knowledgeable and unhurried, which allowed us to truly enjoy each experience. The Triple Delight Tour—featuring chocolate-making, butterfly gardens, and a waterfall swim—was a favorite for our whole family. The beach is small but never felt crowded, even with the resort at about 50–75% capacity. The pool is modest but the perfect size for the number of guests, and the natural breeze helps keep bugs to a minimum during the day (bug spray still recommended at night and for excursions). One unique part of the experience: birds outside your window at sunrise. It’s either a peaceful way to wake up or a natural alarm clock, depending on how you look at it. Because this is a small and intimate resort, guest behavior can have a bigger impact than it might at a large, anonymous hotel. Most guests were kind and considerate, but we did encounter some loud or disruptive behavior—particularly when alcohol flowed freely. It didn’t define the trip, but it’s worth noting. A fun offsite highlight was our visit to Nice Cream in Hopkins. It’s an easy, 15–20-minute bike ride from the resort, and the homemade ice cream was delicious (we went twice). Overall, Belizean Dreams is exactly what it promises to be: a locally run, thoughtfully managed resort that offers authentic hospitality, beautiful scenery, and a genuinely relaxing experience. We are so glad we chose it.

Amazing place!!! The people are wonderful, the rooms are super clean and comfortable, and the food is top notch! If you want the ideal Caribbean vacation, look no further! They will arrange any excursion you want, and are so accommodating!

Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. The rooms were gorgeous, beds were comfy, and the food was great! We recommend going into Hopkins for the drumming and Garifuna cooking class.

The staff is amazing. Excursions are so fun. Accommodations were very nice. Very relaxing and special place. Highly recommend

We had an amazing trip to Belizean Dreams Resort. It has a great beach set up, amazing food, lots of fun excursions, nice spa, and probably the friendliest and most thorough employees. You could go here to relax and do nothing (never had an issue getting a beach lounge) or go on adventures every single day and be happy here. Centrally located, so there a lot of excursion options available. The town of Hopkins is charming and they have bikes and golf carts to go exploring there as well. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back.
