This resort is in a beautiful setting with well-maintained grounds, right on the ocean, and the suites are true suites. I had TWO sleeping areas, a sitting area, a magnificent bathroom and a coffee maker, water dispenser and mini-fridge as well as a balcony facing the ocean. I chose vegan options from the extensive breakfast menu; both mornings they were excellent. We (tour group of 7) checked in on May 5 and the woman who led us around cheerfully announced their special Cinco de Mayo celebration with tacos made to order. They were, but you had to order 3 and they were smallish, for $US 18 total. They were good, though. Margaritas were 2 for 1- $US 17 total. The glitches were technical. Check-in was a bit chaotic because you had to have them send you a WhatsApp message on your phone after you got on the wi-fi; that was their preferred means of contact. No phones in the room. I went for a swim, came back and couldn’t get into my room. I had to traipse into the lobby, clad only in a bathing suit and a towel. They’d given me the wrong key. The second morning, wi-fi in the rooms didn’t work. Very frustrating. Otherwise an excellent stay.

We traveled to Hopkins for a destination wedding at Jaguar Reef. Vern at check in was great as well as other staff members who helped with our bags. We checked in on April 17. All staff were equally cordial but Vern did go above and beyond. Great people at Jaguar Reef Resort.

Overall this was a great stay. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had a small pool and it was very clean and a good temperature Waitstaff is great. Captain Larry super friendly. Breakfast was very good. Ceviche bar very good. Cons were housekeeping. What is going on here? Never have experienced this before in a nice resort. They didn’t come until 5 or 6pm. Also concierge service was confusing. Didn’t make promised dinner reservation. Not good communication. Check your bill upon check out. We found errors.

Nice property with large 2 bedroom option with very warm plunge pool. Beach front location next to the very cool Big Dock. Main restaurant had great food with good options. Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. Only issue was one tour booked through the hotel was not up to par. Otherwise, a nice experience at Jaguar Reef.

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!
