The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

I chose Hopkins and The Lodge at Jaguar Reef because I wanted to experience the real Belize, not a party scene. Coming from the Baltimore area, I needed a chance to slow down and embrace Belize's "Go Slow" way of life. The resort provided the perfect balance of relaxation, comfort, and access to the local Garifuna culture that drew me to Hopkins in the first place. The staff was outstanding. Special thanks to Kayla, Tyreek, Larry, and Mulher for their exceptional hospitality and for making my guests and me feel so welcome throughout our stay. And finally, the food. It deserves its own review. 10/10. Every meal was fantastic. I look forward to coming back next year!

From the beginning to the end, everything and everyone was phenomenal and gave outstanding service and excellent hospitality. Special thanks to Tyrik, Kayla, Muljer, and Larry. shout out to the poolside bartender. The ladies that assisted me every morning @630 a.m. with coffee i appreciate yall. C yall next year. I highly recommend the Jaguar Reef.

We had a great time, it was slow season when we were there at the end of August and many places were not open or were just about to close for vacation. There was quite a bit of sargassum on the beach but Joseph set us up with an island hopping tour so we got to visit some very nice beaches. There are lot of bugs outside so definitely bring bug spray or you will be itchy! The staff was very attentive! Edgar at the pool bar was the BEST! He was always checking on us and helping with anything we need whether that was food, drinks or recommendations of places in town. A golf cart rental is highly recommended to get around town! The best places we ate while in Hopkins were The Roast and Chef Robs at parrot cove would highly recommend!! We had a great time and would definitely come back!

Wanted to give a shout out to the amazing team at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef! Everyone went above and beyond to insure we had a wonderful stay, we appreciate each of you and look forward to returning. Thank you Joseph, Kayla, Captain Larry, Nancy, Deon, Gilbert, Emory, Elijah, Mandela, Edgar, Jerry, Richard, Purnell, Roberto, Quiley, Emilio and Jasmine

We stayed in a very comfortable 2 bedroom villa at the lodge at jaguar reef as a family in Aug 2026. It is a very nice, clean boutique hotel near Hopkins. Personell is very friendly and helpful, proactive and eager to make your stay special. We would like to recognize 2 staff members by their names although everyone was great: Joseph and Edgar! 5 star employees who go abhole and beyond. Unfortunately the beach was not as great this time since there was a lot of sea weed, but that’s a usual problem during summer months. We did quite some adventuring and trips and overall we had a really good time.
