We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Jaguar Reef!! The Grounds: Jaguar Reef is a beautiful resort right on the water. They have free paddle boards and kayaks to use when the water is calm. Cabanas and hammocks on the beach. Fire pit going every night. The Dock Bar and Ceviche are super fun!! We had a great time hanging out on the nets/day beds over the water - such a fun experience! We didn’t feel that we needed to fill our time with a daily excursion because it was so nice to just relax at the resort! The Rooms: We stayed in a Deluxe Suite with a plunge pool. The room was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. AC worked great, so we were able to sleep very well. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and our balcony was shielded from the wind - we spent a lot of time out there! The Staff: The staff were hands-down the best part of our stay!! They were all kind, helpful, and fun! We particularly want to mention Heidi, Tariq, and Julio at the front desk, Edgar at the Dock Bar, Greg and Elisha at the tour company, Andy at the Paddle House restaurant, and Brendon, Brandon, and Jerry around the whole resort!! They all worked very hard to make our stay incredible!!! Island Hopping Snorkeling: We did the Island Hopping Snorkeling adventure through the resort, which was super fun! Our guides - Captain Mike and Shamika were fantastic and knowledgeable!! This excursion was absolutely worth the cost! Hopkins: Amazing town about 1 mile from the resort. You can walk (the beach is all public), ride bikes, rent a golf cart, or take a taxi into town. The town has many good restaurants and sights. Every person we met was friendly, nice, and fun! We truly felt welcomed by the Hopkins locals!! We always felt safe in the town as well - it’s a very fun town to explore! Overall, we had a fantastic vacation at Jaguar Reef! We would highly recommend this resort and will be returning ourselves as soon as we can!!! Thank you, again, to the wonderful staff!!

This is a little slice of paradise in Belize. We came with our two-year-old and between kayaking and jump, jumping off the pier and using the pools and riding golf carts around town, it was the perfect vacation that didn’t feel like a tacky, all inclusive . There is so much adventure and exploration around Hopkins. The staff were all incredible, as well. Especially captain Larry (he brought our son a bag of beach toys!!) and Kayla the guest experience employee! They made sure we were happy and taken care of every day

Lodge was beautiful. The room was amazing. Plunge pool was clean. Ocean front villa was truly oceanfront. Only down side is it’s right next to the restaurant so no privacy. The room itself was clean and nicely furnished the bed needs update. Tarique at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. Leo at the restaurant was outgoing and attentive. Grounds keeper were all very nice and made it a point to greet us everyday.

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!
