The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

We stayed nearby and the staff were so lovely and let us use their beachfront and cabanas. Captain Larry is the best, he got us the most delicious coconuts straight from the trees here. He is what I like to call the Trip Advisor God!!! Beautiful, clean beach to visit with great amenities.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the lodge at jaguar reef for 6 nights. We had originally got a regular room with plunge pool. However, when we arrived the plunge pool was not working so they upgraded us to a larger room with a plunge pool. Jasmine and Tariq at the reception were fantastic to work with and very helpful with our needs. The pool bar and dock bar were super cool and the bartenders Marvin, Lucas and Edward all were very quick and proficient with thier orders! Joel at the paddlehouse restaurant told us of many places in town to explore and none were a letdown. Raven with pool maintenance was very responsive one day when the pool level got low. Everyone new our name and we're very kind every day we were there. Lastly, Mario drove us back to the airport and was kind, with some nice stories of the Belize area. The hotel isn't the cheapest in town but certainly worth the price. At night the area is very well lit and the rooms have large windows. So if your sensive to light while you sleep you may way a eye cover. Hopkins is a small town and you can find good food for a good price most of which are within a short bike ride of the hotel. The town is safe and friendly and we had a great time.

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.
