Reviews for The Lodge at Jaguar Reef
Free Coconut Water and Expensive Bar
Shout out to Captain Larry getting us fresh coconut water! Overall, the staff and property was great although the bar prices were expensive and the hot tub could be bigger and warmer.

Warm hospitality and fresh coconuts
Awesome resort, great staff! Special shout out to Captain Larry who cracked a coconut for us to drink, and bartender Jerry who’s amazingly friendly and helpful!

Beautiful resort in Hopkins
The resort was beautiful and well kept. Staff was so helpful and friendly including Captain Larry, Quetaly, and Leo. I would recommend to rent a car as resort was quite a distance from many attractions

Great amenities, super fun rope swing, friendly staff!
We stayed here over Christmas with the family. We got a two bedroom suite which was perfect. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked, the place was super clean. We could have cooked in our room, but the food in the supermarket was expensive so we took most of our meals in the restaurant at the hotel which offered nice food. breakfast and lunch were reasonably priced and dinner was much more expensive. Portions are not huge. There is a dock with a rope swing which was a major bonus for our family and we all enjoyed jumping from there even when it was raining. There was also a place to jump from the second floor off the pier (and a bar!). The resort was great for creating all kinds of places to enjoy your stay- it was a short walk from the pier to the hot tub. It was also conveniently located to various national parks for hiking. The main selling feature for this resort though, would be the staff. Julio was a standout- he seemed to be always there! Helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Kayla was another who would be checking on us all the time. We all loved this hotel. The weather wasn’t great, but we were still able to enjoy our holiday by being at this property.

Belize at your doorstep
Exceptional service and accommodations. Food at the Paddle House was delicious. Be sure to try Don Tonitos Pizza! We loved that our room had an outside plunge pool to cool off. Inside, the chilled drinking water was an unexpected plus! The pillow top king bed was deluxe, and the big screen TV was also unexpected. Very clean hotel, inside and out. Staff was attentive and friendly. The gardens are well taken care of. The garden caretakers were kind and offered to brush and rinse the mud from our boots, after returning from birding at the nearby wetlands. Thank you Deon, Marbin, Juan and Lidani!

I will never forget my honeymoon at the Jaguar Reef resort in Belize! I can honestly say it was one of the greatest experiences in my life! The trips, the food, the people, from the piña coladas to the friendly service, I would recommend this place to anyone and hope to make it back there again someday.

Paradise is the only word you need to describe the Jaguar Reef experience. Starting with one of the most beautiful places on earth and add the opportunity to share that with some of the friendliest, most generous people I've met, it's just a wonderful vacation. Special thanks to Stephanie! We will be back!

Outstanding staff, especially Stephanie and Chef Phillip. Great food and great fishing. Enjoyed fishing with Guide Horace.
