The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

My grandson and I stayed six nights at Jaguar Reef. It is definitely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The room was spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. We ate most of our meals at the Paddle House Restaurant. Every meal was excellent. Kayla and Queti went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this resort.

One of the best weekends I've ever had! We stayed at Jaguar reef from Friday until Monday for a songwriters festival and, I just can't say enough about everything! The room was beautiful with both an indoor and outdoor shower and a plunge pool. The bed was the softest and most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The staff was amazing. Jasmine, Andy and Captain Larry stand out in my mind as providing some of the best customer service I have ever had anywhere. I have traveled all over the world and stayed at many different resorts and this has to be one of the best I've ever stayed at. The food was incredible in both restaurants and, the view was amazing! If you are looking for a place to stay in Hopkins while you are in Belize, I highly, highly recommend the Lodge at Jaguar reef. You will not be disappointed!

Stayed in the seaside villa with a plunge pool. Staff was fantastic and very welcoming and attentive to anything you needed. From extra coffee to picking a tour. Wait staff and ground staff were very quick to welcome you and give you ideas and suggestions for things to do in the area. Food in the restaurant was well prepared. There only downside was a small trench between the high tide line and the sand that was full of debris, including plastics and other things that have been washing in. Made it difficult to walk into the sea because it was full of debris… Could’ve easily been raked out, but not sure why it was left to accumulate.

We had a great experience. I especially want to say thank you to the staff members Kayla, Larry, and Brendan. Kayla came by our room to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Larry was very informative while we were on the beach and told us about some events we might enjoy. Brendan brought all the room service to our room on the 3rd floor and was very courteous! Also the front desk staff, I can’t remember their names but it was two more young ladies and a young man who were also very helpful and nice. This was our second stay at Jaguar Reef, in May 2024, now May 2026 and we will be back again. Thank you guys

Loved this resort. We stayed at Jaguar but almond and colonial are all close and use the same facilities. We had a seaside villa with a pool and it was so huge! The pool was perfect temp for an afternoon dip. Loved the ceviche bar and lounging in the over water hammocks. The room has a large water dispenser so you’re not wasting plastic bottles constantly. The bathroom has a massive open air shower with a rain fall shower head. Note - there is very little privacy from the sleeping area when showering is that matters to you. Air conditioner was good - not like the US but it kept us cool in 90 degree temps. Special shout out to Milky Way for getting coconuts, Andy in the paddle house, Joseph who gave our property tour and chatted with us at breakfast about the plans for the day, Brendon who made a special trip to the housekeeping area to get me more coffee pods and cream, and Richard in the bar area. Seaweed wasn’t a huge issue for us at the resort - but I know it comes and goes.
