The people were very friendly, and I love the vibe of the place. There’s a guy on the water making ceviche, and it was fantastic. The spa was good as well. And the bartenders are very nice. The service in the main dining room is very slow, so be prepared with patients. The only negative experience I had was picking up what I thought was a gold tassel on my bed, but it turned out to be a scorpion. I flagged it down, worker who helped corral it in a plastic bag and take it away. The hotel never reached out to apologize. Other than that, it was a beautiful stay.

Wonderful stay- everyone was amazing and went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. We stayed in the oceanfront suite with plunge pool and it was absolutely worth it to wake up and see the beach right out our door, and be able to dunk in the pool anytime we wanted. Kayla was amazing and on top of everything our entire trip. Victor at the bar was our new best friend.

My wife, son, and I stayed at Jaguar Reef for 9 nights March into April 2026. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming, they made us feel at home the moment we arrived. The property is beautifully maintained, the landscaping crew does an exceptional job. We only had our room cleaned a few times, and each time the housekeeping crew was kind, considerate, and left our room impeccable. The resort is conveniently located close to great restaurants. Our favorites were Bahay Fiesta (the chicken curry, ceviche, and spicy wings were our favs), Roast (everything we had on the menu was phenomenal), Ella’s (whole snapper and jerk chicken = 🤤) and Singanga at Hamanasi (the omelettes were our fav) for breakfast. In particular Marvin, Tariq, Robin, and Larry all went out of their way to ensure we had the best time. I highly recommend the Belize Collection of resorts (Jaguar Reef Resort, Almond Beach Resort, The Colonial Inn) to anyone looking to take their family on a fun, relaxing, culturally rich experience. We hope to return to your lovely resort very soon!

We stayed at the Lodge for 3 nights at the end of a very busy trip around Belize and it was the perfect place to relax before going home. The room was huge with a comfortable bed, great shower, warm plunge pool and deck with a hammock. We particularly liked Happy Hour at the Big Dock Bar where Brandon made us very welcome. The Pizza place was good too - excellent pizzas. Breakfast was good and the one meal we had in the restaurant was excellent. There was plenty of space and the resort never felt crowded. Kayla was a great host and all the staff were very welcoming.

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!
