We had a wonderful time in Belize. The Lodge at Jaguar Reef was lovely. The location was perfect; close to town. The facility was clean and well appointed. The food & drinks were delicious. The best part was the employees. We were always greeted warmly and with smiles. I need to acknowledge a few employes. I must commend Joseph & Kayla for excellent customer service & being very helpful. They truly cared about our experience at the resort. Raven for helping us get our TV working and AC fixed. Captain Larry greeted us every morning with a big smile, high five & a flower. Finally, I cannot say enough about Mario. He drove us to meet our boat for the monkey river tour. During our drive, he shared history of Belize, the Mayan culture & calendar. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. I would definitely stay at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef again!

My grandson and I stayed six nights at Jaguar Reef. It is definitely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The room was spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. We ate most of our meals at the Paddle House Restaurant. Every meal was excellent. Kayla and Queti went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this resort.

One of the best weekends I've ever had! We stayed at Jaguar reef from Friday until Monday for a songwriters festival and, I just can't say enough about everything! The room was beautiful with both an indoor and outdoor shower and a plunge pool. The bed was the softest and most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The staff was amazing. Jasmine, Andy and Captain Larry stand out in my mind as providing some of the best customer service I have ever had anywhere. I have traveled all over the world and stayed at many different resorts and this has to be one of the best I've ever stayed at. The food was incredible in both restaurants and, the view was amazing! If you are looking for a place to stay in Hopkins while you are in Belize, I highly, highly recommend the Lodge at Jaguar reef. You will not be disappointed!

Stayed in the seaside villa with a plunge pool. Staff was fantastic and very welcoming and attentive to anything you needed. From extra coffee to picking a tour. Wait staff and ground staff were very quick to welcome you and give you ideas and suggestions for things to do in the area. Food in the restaurant was well prepared. There only downside was a small trench between the high tide line and the sand that was full of debris, including plastics and other things that have been washing in. Made it difficult to walk into the sea because it was full of debris… Could’ve easily been raked out, but not sure why it was left to accumulate.

We had a great experience. I especially want to say thank you to the staff members Kayla, Larry, and Brendan. Kayla came by our room to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Larry was very informative while we were on the beach and told us about some events we might enjoy. Brendan brought all the room service to our room on the 3rd floor and was very courteous! Also the front desk staff, I can’t remember their names but it was two more young ladies and a young man who were also very helpful and nice. This was our second stay at Jaguar Reef, in May 2024, now May 2026 and we will be back again. Thank you guys

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!
