Hopkins Bay Resort

I loved my stay at Hopkins Bay Resort. I especially liked the serene atmosphere. Unlike a lot of resorts, it is quiet. In addition, it is beautifully landscaped and the staff were outstanding. I highly recommend getting a massage while you are there. Also, the food was delicious and affordable. I also enjoyed using the the free kayaks and paddle boards. There are two pools and each day I was able to find a time when it was just me in the pool. It was a wonderful week. Unfortunately seaweed is more frequent due to global warming but the staff tirelessly cleaned it up every morning. I really appreciated their hard work because I love swimming in and sitting by the ocean. At other resorts in Hopkins they were not as meticulous. Lastly, the resort provides free bikes. I did not have a car and was able to get around easily with the bikes. It's very flat and lots of people use bikes.

Loved our stay here in April. The grounds were well maintained and beautiful. The staff very friendly and food at the Rhum Shack was really good. We would kayak in the morning, enjoy the pool/beach, and go into Hopkins or further for activities. Will definitely be back

We loved our stay our Hopkins Bay Resort. There were 6 of us including 4 young adults. The staff and locals are amazing. Lots to do in Belize and Anthony can help get you set up to experience all there is to do in Belize. Free bikes and kayaks! The beach is nice and they to their best to keep the seagrass cleaned up. Our beds were a bit stiff, even for me who enjoys a firmer mattress but they gave us extra pillows to help. We stayed in villa 17. The Rhum Shack staff, food and drinks exceeded our expectations. They are all so friendly and the fresh food and ingredients make the whole experience special. The weather was perfect and we all had a trip to remember forever.

We had a great experience at Hopkins Bay Resort. Quaint village and extraordinary people. Nothing but great hospitality. While in Hopkins you must experience the Garifuna Experience (Palmetto Grove Eco Cultural and Healing Lodge). Ouuwahnie, the owner, greeted us with the warmest welcome. The food and history shared was phenomenal. Another great stop was Ella's Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. Finally, if you're a chocolate lover or just curious on how it's made, visit Che'il Chocolate making experience. It was an absolute treat.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. I planned to propose to my now fiancé, on our 2 year dating anniversary, and they made it an incredible experience. I purchased an oceanfront room along with the Honeymoon package, and called in advance to allow them to know that it wasn't for an actual Honeymoon, but for a proposal dinner and engagement celebration. They did a wonderful job keeping it a secret from her for a couple days, before seamlessly putting together a romantic, oceanfront, candle light proposal dinner for us. I intended to hire a videographer, but didn't have time to plan everything and find the right one in another country, considering the state of the world and current climate (wars)- and this was not my initial proposal destination (although I ultimately made the right choice). So Shaq, our server, was perfect. I asked him to record the "anniversary toast", and he knew exactly what meant. He proceeded to record the entire proposal like a professional. I was very pleased with the outcome. And she was completely surprised, shocked, humbled and appreciative of how everything turned out. She felt like a true princess. Of course she said yes, and we have a fairytale engagement to share with the world. In celebration, the floral turndown was amazing as well. While at dinner, the staff placed rose petals on the floor of our room, like in Coming to America. And the bed was decorated with flowers that spelled out beautifully congratulatory expressions. They cleaned our room and made it a perfect return. I am completely, BEYOND pleased with the experience and the staff of Hopkins Bay Resort, Belize.
