10/10 on all: experience, staff, food, pools, sand/beach, and hang out spots. The lodge at jaguar reef is a dreamy place to spend time at during a special occasion. The staff love their jobs and work quickly to meet every need you come up against. The whole town of Hopkins will treat you like family if you are willing to say hello! We stayed in Villa B which was absolutely beautiful, 10 steps to the beach and restaurant at the resort. You can take a free bike ride up/down the village to a convenience store, coffee shop, ATM and fresh fruit stands. Going out to the waterfalls and coral reels are worth every dollar! We loved this trip and plan to bring our young son soon because it was so safe and friendly.

Jaguar Reef Resort is beautiful and my entire family had an amazing time. Everyone at the resort is extremely friendly and helpful. We especially want to thank Captain Larry, Jerry, Joseph, Lucas, and all the other wonderful people here. You won't be disappointed!

Spent the second half of our honeymoon here (first half at Sleeping Giant). We had an amazing time at the beach after an adventure filled stay in the rainforest. Our beachfront Villa had gorgeous views, the beach was beautiful and we enjoyed the complimentary kayaks and paddle boards. Big Dock Bar was our favorite and we spent hours lounging there. Location was great and we were able to use the complimentary bikes to go to town and we were also able to walk to a couple local restaurants. The staff and service was incredible, they made our stay extra special! Shout out to: Elroy (security, super helpful and cheerful, always answered questions) Joseph (concierge, made our honeymoon extra special with creative touches in the room, took care of us the entire time ) Captain Larry (positive ray of sunshine, gave me a flower everyday, helpful with luggages) Lucas (delicious watermelon margaritas and all around great bar tender) Brandon and Jerry ( pool and big dog bar tenders, delicious drinks)

Joseph, Julio, Lucas, Captain Larry, Chris Cipriano, and Big Mike made our trip awesome! They were super attentive and helpful. They were always present and happy. The accommodations were very comfortable and would definitely come back. They were quick to help, guide, and go out of their way to make us comfortable and get us whatever we needed and wanted.

This place is amazing. My husband and I went here for a couples getaway. The staff is amazing and the property is beautiful. Captain Larry is a true star and always gave great energy when we saw him. Joseph was amazing as well, he gave great recommendations and made us feel home. Robin and Tyrik at the front desk were always there to help. We will definitely be back. Worth the values. My only drawback is that the food on the resort is not the best, but many other options around the resort.

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!
