Hopkins Bay Resort

The experience once there was awesome but…before hand was something else! When I called the number on the website I got several other resorts. I had something come up unexpectedly and had to change weeks. Well, I had paid ALOT of money up front for a black Friday special. I understood I wouldn’t get a refund but I had to get something for all that money! They gave me two nights. Someone I spoke to, once I got there, said they own a lot of resorts and I should have been offered a week in one of them. I loved the excursions, the drivers and the resort help. The website stinks. Even the email on the website never gave me a response to my wanting to book something.

We just had the best vacation ever at Hopkins Bay! When we read the reviews we were almost a little skeptical at how positive they were - could a resort really be that amazing? The answer is YES! The rooms, views, food, and excursions were exceptional, but the staff brought it to the next level. We got the meal plan (HIGHLY recommend) and as a result the staff at the restaurant greeted us by name each meal. Special shoutout to Chavis and Shaquille for their hospitality and friendly service. We did the zip lining/cave tubing and the barrier reef snorkeling excursions which were well-organized and unforgettable. The cave tubing was unlike anything we've ever experienced. The WiFi on the grounds was fast and reliable (minus a short outage one day), and the AC in our room never failed us. If you're looking for an extraordinary experience and reasonably priced place to spend your Belizean vacation, you don't need to look beyond Hopkins Bay!!!

I have wanted to visit Belize for at least ten years. I'm so glad we finally made it happen. The resort was gorgeous and we were just steps away from the Sea, the pool and the Rhum Shack. The staff went above and beyond on every request and were just unbelievably nice people. Shaq was willing to visit a bit and answer any questions that we had about the area and Selvin, our tour guide, went way out of his way to make sure our daughter who has Down Syndrome, was included and able to keep up while we visited the ruins and went cave tubing. Will absolutely be back!!!

The location is beautiful and relaxing and kept immaculate. The food is superb, you can taste the love in each bite. The trip to the Mayan Ruins was superb, our guide was most informative and a very fine gentleman. BUT the very best part of our trip were the amazing people who took care of us. What is better than coming to breakfast and being greeted with a warm, genuine hug! The lovely Ladies and gentlemen who took amazing care of us were Tanisha, Mitchele, Adalma, Veronica, Wilbur, Shaq, Chavez, and King. Each one more special then the last. I can't thank you all enough!!!!

Amazing resort in a genuine town. We could walk to dinner barefoot, either to the Rhumshack or a place in town (like Semiti Gifitti). Bikes were great to get around on, beach and pool were super clean and maintained. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. We will come back.
