We had an amazing stay at The Lodge. The staff (Julio, Kayla, Priscilla, Heidi, and Erlin) were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Captain Larry was a constant source of good humor and vibes. Lucas and Roberto (Cracki) at the dock bar were nothing but kind and helpful. Nothing but good things to say!

Tarik and Kayla helped make sure everything was going well for us. The whole resort staff was amazing but captain larry really stood out to us. He always made sure we had everything we needed plus some. This was a great ending to our honeymoon. We went on a snorkeling and light tackle fishing tour with Chris and he was very knowledgeable and friendly to be around. Mike was our captain for snorkeling and he did a great job. Would definitely stay here again. It was so peaceful and well maintained. The beach was very clean. The food was amazing. Everyone is super welcoming and goes above and beyond for any needs.

The Lodge at Jaguar Reef is our favorite place to stay when we visit Hopkins and this trip was no exception! The rooms are always clean and comfortable and we especially appreciated the special touch of the birthday decorations. The food and drinks at the restaurant are first class, and all the staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We also love the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere which makes here the perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate. We especially want to thank Assistant Manager Delvin Monroy for helping to make our stay unforgettable!

10/10 on all: experience, staff, food, pools, sand/beach, and hang out spots. The lodge at jaguar reef is a dreamy place to spend time at during a special occasion. The staff love their jobs and work quickly to meet every need you come up against. The whole town of Hopkins will treat you like family if you are willing to say hello! We stayed in Villa B which was absolutely beautiful, 10 steps to the beach and restaurant at the resort. You can take a free bike ride up/down the village to a convenience store, coffee shop, ATM and fresh fruit stands. Going out to the waterfalls and coral reels are worth every dollar! We loved this trip and plan to bring our young son soon because it was so safe and friendly.

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!
