The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

I wish you could do 1/2 stars because I would say 4.5 stars. It wasn’t a solid 5 for me because my lunch upon arriving just wasn’t flavorful at all. The only other meal I had was the ceviche at the Big Dock Bar. It was solid and Lucas and Pedro were very friendly and offered suggestions for my next stop on my trip. The entirety of staff I encountered were great. Robin did my check in. Very warm and professional. Make sure you have WhatsApp as it’s easiest way to communicate. Julio was super pleasant and friendly. While the tacos were super bland, QueLi and Kristina with a K were very sweet and super attentive in the restaurant. Joseph helped with getting me towels when I left them upstairs. I skipped the tour so I wasn’t clear where everything was. He walked me around and made sure I got what I needed. I also had to figure out my money exchange and general questions. Tarik and Priscilla were key with getting that done and addressing general questions. I did want drumming lessons and there wasn’t much information available aside from what I already saw online. However the driver that hotel called/provided, Mr. Desmond helped me get drum lessons the next day in the village. I was surprised that there is not more known between the resort and about the village offerings/ contacts. So glad Mr. Desmond made that happen for me as that was the one activity I really wanted to do. He also was very good with picking me up and dropping me off at specified times. I stayed in room 23 which is huge. Equip with robes slippers iron and board filtered hot and cold water, fridge. Plenty of pillows AC and ceiling fan, plunge pool looked maintained but didn’t use it that much. Grounds are clean and maintained. Everything was fine and very clean and fully stocked. Loved the cookies in the jar!

My husband and I stayed at Jaguar Reef for our anniversary, and honestly… they understood the assignment. From the moment we walked in, Tarik, Robin, and the front desk team were so friendly and welcoming. They greeted us with cocktails (always the right way to start a vacation) and were super accommodating when we asked for a later checkout. A special shoutout to Kayla — she helped us set up the most romantic anniversary dinner on the beach. It was beautiful, intimate, and such a thoughtful touch that made the night unforgettable. Our room was spotless, well decorated, and had the most gorgeous view of the beach. Waking up to that every morning? Iconic. We also absolutely fell in love with Hopkins. Between the warmth of the people and the exceptional service at Jaguar Reef, we’re already talking about when we’re coming back. Highly recommend — they made our anniversary feel truly special.

Great resort. Room was HUGE. We lacked water pressure in the master bathroom (and other one was great pressure). We ate breakfast ($10-$14 USD) there, but no meals as bad reviews. Even the staff would suggest other places for dinner (Ella's and Driftwood). The Big Dock is AWESOME. The drinks are 1/2 price for happy hours (2p - 6p). Great big "private" beach, couple of pools, tours from right there.

I loved this place and will definitely be back. The resort was BEAUTIFUL and the staff greeted us everyday with the biggest smiles. Everyone was so attentive and ready to help when needed and eager to give suggestion on what they thought was the best thing on the menu, or what sights we should see off the resort. Memorable staff members include Joseph, Larry, Kristina, and Marvin. Joseph greeted us everyday multiple times a day and made sure we were having the best time in Belize. Larry helped us with the outdoor water activities and always made us laugh. Kristina and Marvin made sure we were well fed and had good drinks at the Paddle House. Our upper level room was so clean had a great view of the beach. The private pool was a highlight of the trip. Though not all-inclusive, the prices at the resort restaurants were far from expensive in my opinion. The food was delicious as well. Especially the pizza. Again…. No doubt about it….. i will definitely be returning to this resort 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

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!
