The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

Our first time at The Jaguar Reef and Belize.......and it was outstanding. The views from our room were outstanding. The check in and check out was seemless. Joseph and Kayla were on top of things daily, anything thing you had a question about or needed they were there to quickly answer, get the answer or rectify any situation. Our bed was a little too hard for our liking and they were very diligent in getting it to the right comfort level for us to sleep like babies and get a good nights rest. Leo was super to talk to at breakfast, lunch and dinner providing all options and joking around with us along the way. We love when someone remembers you and your likes and dislikes during a meal service. He also provided several details of the area and country that were very beneficial and informative. Queli was there for us when Leo was off and offering the same pleasantries. Capital Larry was a delight to have welcoming you through the day and offering the best energy and pleasantries. This group made our stay the most enjoyable we have had for resort lodging. Good location, great atmosphere, great food options, the resort was clean, quiet and offered everything we needed in a get away.

TripAdvisor Review for The Lodge at Jaguar Reef My wife and I were recently married in Hopkins, Belize and are so thankful that we decided to host the wedding at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef. Our wedding was coordinated by Roberto Guerra (Wedding Wire?), who worked closely with the staff at The Lodge for transportation and accommodation of 55 guests as well as the logistics for social events, the wedding, and our reception. The team was absolutely amazing! Kind, courteous, no problem too small, no challenge that could not be solved. The food was amazing. Couple that with the small town charm and restaurants of Hopkins — well, we could not have asked for anything better. Our stay began with a wonderful check-in experience by Julio and Priscilla, and their excellent customer service continued throughout our 10 day stay. Kayla, the customer service agent, checked in with us daily. Anything we needed, just anything, and Kayla was on top of it. Jason, who managed the restaurant, worked with us on a near daily basis on meals and seating — which can be a bit of a challenge with a large party :) He was delightful to work with, and on the few occasions where I needed something different, something not normally offered, he was always there with a “Yes, I think we can do that” — and then did that. Victor and Brendon watched after the bar and took great care of us and our wedding guests, young and old alike. Great service delivered with a smile, every time. Jordeen provided my wife and I both with a great massage experience on the day of the wedding, and made sure we were both relaxed for the big event. Well, maybe not relaxed, but certainly less tense and nervous — hah! Odalys provided a wonderful daily housecleaning experience, and cheerfully accommodated our wild daily schedule to ensure our room was fresh and organized at the end of every day. And finally, Captain Larry who was a hoot and a delight, and was always there to inject energy into our day and was there offering up help, advice, and just general merriment to overall vibe. Every one of our family and guests in attendance had a great time, and many of us will be back in the future. There is even talk of a “reununion” to get the whole gang back together at some point. Don’t know if that will happen, but it is a testament of the many guests who thoroughly enjoyed themselves at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef. Thank you for creating beautiful memory!

Room was great, all amenities were available and comfort was top tier. Only issues with the room, we didn't have hot showers, even at night when leaving the water running an extended period. The lodge does need to have more communication between employees. We asked about snokling on the beach and were told we could sign out equip to do so since we are guests. When we went to do so, we were then told the gear was only for tours. Then another employee later the day let us sign out the equipment to use on the beach. One night we got drinks at The Paddle House and were told we had one hour before close. 10 mins later another employee asked us if we needed to order anything else as they were closing up then. Props to Kayla, Joseph and Captain Larry for being wonderful every time we encountered them during our 4 day stay.

The beautiful, well manicured beaches was a perfect oasis for a couples vacation. The hospitality from Kayla, the expert driving from Felix, the beach friendly staff like Capt Larry, and the amazing housekeeping made our stay so enjoyable rain or shine!! The room was huge and the beach property was clean and full of all the comforts like swim up bars, ceviche, pizza, and fine dining.

An unforgettable time in an unforgettable place, for all the reasons one hopes for when going on vacation - well-appointed & *very* clean villa, beautiful setting in stunning location, relaxing atmosphere, exemplary service. But what really sets Jaguar Reef apart is its staff. In every interaction with a staff member - whether in our gorgeous villa, the restaurants (with delicious food and drinks!), the always-accessible and helpful Front Desk (willing to patiently answer any question, no matter how trivial), the beach, even the parking area - we were greeted by name and treated with friendliness, kindness, and a genuine desire to to make sure we were having a unbelievable experience in every way. So, THANK YOU to: :Kayla: :Julio: :Tariq: :Priscilla: :Odaylis: :Nincy: :Brendon A: :Eltr: :Leo: :Joel: :Larry: :Luca: ...and those who played an integral role behind the scenes... You made my vacation one I will never forget!
