Reviews for The Lodge at Jaguar Reef
Serene and gorgeous resort!
This resort is as close to perfection as a resort can get. It is quiet and peaceful, understated luxury. The villas are immaculate and spacious—they come with private “plunge pools” (hot tubs). The penthouse level affords gorgeous views of the ocean and sunrise! The Paddle House restaurant serves tasty and healthful dishes (many vegan options). All staff were very welcoming and helpful. Happy hour at Big Dock Bar with a freshly made ceviche and cocktail was an added bonus for a true Caribbean atmosphere. We will be back!

Captain Larry for the win!
Captain Larry is an absolute gem at this property. He was kind enough to help our kids and make local recommendations. Priscilla in the front desk stayed late to check us in and made sure our room was well taken care of. The room itself was superb. The beach was ok. Restaurants were good especially for breakfast.

Another great visit!
This is our second time at Jaguar Reef and again it did not disappoint. We had a 2 bedroom penthouse over looking the Caribbean Sea. The unit was clean, spacious and comfortable. The private balcony with a plunge pool was an extra bonus to the living space. Our mornings were filled with mimosas and coffee while we relaxed in chairs on the beach. The food ( and the service provided by Leo and Andy) was great. We tried the special each day and loved being able to try local dishes. The grounds are immaculate with staff working hard each day to keep things looking pristine. Jason, Lucas and Joseph were additional staff who stood out to make our trip memorable. We will be back! We also used the transport service to/from the airport that was easy and stress free.

Yet another wonderful stay!
Last week we had another wonderful time at Jaguar reef. Would like to say every one from the reception desk to the bartender at the Big Dock treated us like family. And a special shout out to Lucas, our favorite bartender, who made fantastic dinner arrangements for us. Absolutely unforgettable! Also, many thanks to Deon of the Grounds Crew for the beautiful bouquet in our room!

Great spot to enjoy Belize
The staff are so friendly and attentive, and you cannot beat the views and the atmosphere! Great pools, bars, and food! Just outside the Hopkins village.

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!
