Captain Larry was a family favorite! He opened the sweetest coconuts for my kids beachside!

The best experience in my life as a traveller was finding Shamika, our snorkel guide at the hotel dive centre who I got to know well. She is very knowledgeable as a graduate in marine biology as well as flora and fawna. Make certain she’s your guide as she goes above and beyond others that we snorkelled with at the resort. We stayed at Almond Beach which is now part of Jaguar. Other services were so so. Food ok. I found a mystery guest in my pasta and they didn’t comp me the meal or offer a beverage.

My wife and I wife to went to The Lodge at Jaguar Reef last month. We stayed at the resort for 7 days. Kayla and Joseph were both very helpful with good local spots to go to for both adventure & eating. We would definitely stay there again, more than worth it

I chose Hopkins and The Lodge at Jaguar Reef because I wanted to experience the real Belize, not a party scene. Coming from the Baltimore area, I needed a chance to slow down and embrace Belize's "Go Slow" way of life. The resort provided the perfect balance of relaxation, comfort, and access to the local Garifuna culture that drew me to Hopkins in the first place. The staff was outstanding. Special thanks to Kayla, Tyreek, Larry, and Mulher for their exceptional hospitality and for making my guests and me feel so welcome throughout our stay. And finally, the food. It deserves its own review. 10/10. Every meal was fantastic. I look forward to coming back next year!

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!
