Had a wonderful stay at the Lodge at Jaguar Reef. All of the staff were courteous and professional and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The view from our room was spectacular and the amenities were top notch. We enjoyed the pool with swim up bar, the brick oven pizzas, relaxing in hammocks and jumping off the top deck of the pier and the rope swing on the lower level. We had a blast and very relaxing time. Not to mention one of my favorite things we enjoyed- the fire pit was lit every night with a jar of marshmallows for roasting. Highly recommend!

Welcome to the most relaxing and friendliest vacation! Hopkins and Jaguar Reef was an amazing trip filled with smiling faces and I belizeable experiences. Larry greets you with a smiling face, Felix takes you on the best rainforest adventures, Big Mike and his crew will hopefully take you to see a Giant Hammerhead like we saw!!

We had such a lovely stay at Jaguar Reef Lodge! It was the perfect ending to our Belize vacation. We picked this one to wrap up our trip because we heard it was laid back and easy going. Hopkins is such a cute village and Jaguar Reef was a wonderful retreat within it. We loved the two story pier ceviche bar with the rope swing, the pools were nice to have for the choppier water days, the restaurant was so so yummy, our rooms were fabulous, Captain Larry was a staff member that always kept us smiling and laughing and gave some great local food recommendations. There is a wood fired pizza place near one of the pools and swim up bar that we ordered from one afternoon. I’m hoping it was just an off day because everything else here has been so tasty, but it was very watery and flavorless. Truly other than that, this stay was perfect for our family.

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!
