Food was excellent but pricy. Staff was very accommodating when we wanted a 6 AM takeout breakfast.

It was unclear to me when booking that there was a kitchen option available, which would’ve been nice for us.

Beautiful resort on the North side of Hopkins a rustic little village on the beach. The one-bedroom villa was spacious and comfortable. Nice patio with a view of the beach. I was able to watch the sunrise every morning from my room. Loved the stuffed fry jacks at the Rhum Shack in the morning and the friendly service there as well. The rum punch was delicious. The resort provided the free use of bicycles for guests to go into town and golf carts were available to rent for a fee. There was a small open-air spa by the pool where I booked a massage and facial. Kobe the concierge was great and arranged several private tours for my family. Overall amazing place.

We are a 3 generation family travelling to Belize for the first time, Hopkins Bay resort was a great home base for the week. We enjoyed having the common living space for our toddler to run around, the separate 2 suites when we needed our space, the kitchen for quick snacks, and the patio for watching sunrise and sunsets. The beach-side pool was a fan-favorite especially with the seaweeds taking over the beach. We ended up eating most of our meals at the Rhum Shack, and every meal was delicious from breakfast to dinner, and the specials were great to break-up the menu. We did venture out with the golf cart to try out local spots and even lunch at another resort, the meals at the Rhum Shack was great value and quality. Favorite alcoholic drink was mojito, and my toddler appreciated and enjoyed fresh mangos from the bar. Every staff we encountered was super friendly and helpful. Appreciated the eco-conscious gestures, such as providing reusable water bottles to use with the jugs of water in the villa, and reusable bamboo straws (we bought a pack for home use).

The resort is not really "walk-able" to the main village or the "hotel zone" with a toddler in-tow, but we were happy with the amenities and the space the resort provided. Do pack bug sprays, the bugs are active when the sea breeze stopped.

Loved the size of the room, bed, pool, and the compactness/proximity of everything at the resort. Even though we booked last minute and our room was at the back of the resort, it's so well designed that we still had an ocean view from our porch. We ate dinner 3 times at the on-site restaurant, The Rhum Shack, and it was exceptional, especially the pork chop + snapper. Service was also great (shout-out to Michelle who looked after us daily!). The entire team were friendly and wanting to make your stay as comfortable as possible, from housekeeping being attentive to our water refill needs, to the pool guys moving our umbrellas without being asked when we no longer had shade. Would 100% come back here, especially with proceeds of the stay going towards their chosen charities.

This resort is absolutely amazing I would definitely recommend! Our stay was beyond peaceful, the locals are very friendly, the staff made you feel at home, vacationers were down to earth, the drinks were delicious and the food was phenomenal. The beach isn't the bluest but was still wonderful. The staff members were kind, thoughtful, always smiling. Planning our excursions and transportation was easy at the adventure desk. It’s a small resort, everyone remembers you by name. I usually stay at large all inclusive resorts but this hotel set the standard high. My mom and I hope to visit again because this was definitely our most peacefully and stress free vacation.

Transportation back to airport was way too early. We sat at the airport 6 hours prior to departure time.

The villas are very spacious and very comfortable for a family! The pool and beach area are great, with the restaurant right next to it, so very convenient that everything is in the same area when traveling with a baby and a toddler! The restaurant was great, different menus for all three meals, and had a special drumming show on Saturday which our daughter loved! You can rent mini carts if you want to go into the village and the reception is very helpful.

Housekeeping didn’t come everyday unless you asked them and did very minor/basic housekeeping. Given that you are in and out of the beach, it would be helpful to have them come everyday by default.

We loved the entire resort. We biked into town almost every night for dinner and the free bikes were a huge plus and all seemed brand new. We also loved the use of the paddle boards and kayaks. Kayaked up through the nearby lagoon on last night at sunset and found paradise! There was an area with probably 100 birds diving for their dinner which was amazing to watch. The food and drinks were fantastic at the Rhum Shack and the staff knew us each by name. My husband became big buddies with King and Willar and they treated us so well! Beach was clean and beach chairs plentiful. Loved the hammocks and games. Fireworks on New Years were amazing. Hated to leave!

Didn’t like leaving. 😢 Bugs love visitors apparently so bring lots of bug spray.

We had an excellent stay at Hopkins Bay Resort, we can’t wait to return with family and friends. The resort is on one side of Hopkins so away from the busyness but close enough to get into town by bike or golf cart (would suggest renting the cart if you want to go to Jaguar Reef). Food and drinks are excellent and reasonably priced, staff is amazing and so accommodating, and accommodations are exactly as pictured. Even though our villa was not on the beach, we woke up to an amazing view of the ocean from our balcony. We went during off season so very serene, quiet, and peaceful. We basically had the resort to ourselves. Also, we only stayed for a few days, as we split our vacation between Hopkins and Caye Caulker, but we made the most of the few days we were there. I would suggest the Garifuna Cultural Tour, Driftwood for drumming on Tuesdays or Saturdays, catching ghost crabs at night at the resort, and watching the manatees at The Dock Bar (at The Lodge on Jaguar Reef). Thanks to Manuel, Shaq, Velene, Timothy, Chavis, King, and Wilbur for your hospitality and making this an unforgettable vacation!

Our stay at Hopkins Beach Resort was excellent so no cons! Just FYI for those traveling to Belize in late October/early November. We went during rainy season so there were puddles and standing water, which made the roads a little challenging and the grounds a little soggy. Yet, we were prepared and brought rain gear and nonslip, rain resistant flip flops and sneakers so the rain didn’t slow us down at all. Also, make sure to bring your bug repellent!

The property was right by the beach. There were two beautiful pools that we used. The staff was friendly in responded quickly to request. The restaurant on site had good food. I traveled there with my family for our family reunion. There were 22 of us. The rooms were spacious in private and still luxurious everyone in my family. Enjoy this stay.

There was nothing about the property I didn’t like. I do think the property managers should work on the entrance with better signage and fix the potholes in the road that lead to the resort. But otherwise the resort once you get in is beautiful.

Location is beautiful, staff amazing, and quality of food and drinks outstanding. Beds are very comfortable.

It's so pricey, doesn't really feel like a good deal. 20% less and everybody would still be happy.
