Hopkins Bay Resort

resort was great -- good location and the villas/rooms clean and well setup and supplied- staff pleasant and helpful Bikes and paddleboards/kayak nice to have --Resort is at end of town so its a long walk to things unless you use the bikes Facilities well maintained and pools great Food in restaurant was not great and not great value

Before your arrival you are welcomed, staff was very courteous, respectful, helpful and kind basically quality customer service. We rented a car a drove to resort from Belize City to Dangriga was an hour and forty-five minutes depending on how you drive. It was worth it just to see as much as we can. The entire resort was wonderful, the grounds, the reception front desk and mini gift shop area. They have concierge to help you booked what you need . They have spa services on the premises, the restaurant and bar was very nice (I liked the sand by bar with the swings), the food and drinks was terrific. Our room was perfect not modern at all and had its Belizean personal touch to the rooms. You are also given water bottles at check in the limit water waste which was good and water jugs in rooms plus refill station at reception area. They have laundry se if needed, which we used, and reasonably priced. It was slow season so a lot was not opened around town or people were on their holiday off time so we made do. It was also raining off and on throughout our stay for the week but we didn’t mind and still enjoyed ourselves to the fullest.

After flying into Belize city we rented a car and drove two hours south to Hopkins Bay resort, which was an easy drive and we felt very safe in a six passenger van. When we arrived, their service was excellent and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with the prices being very reasonable for resort like this. The rooms were amazing and well appointed the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the grounds are immaculate and beautiful right on the beach. The next morning we had breakfast again in the resort and it was excellent as well. We had some weather for the first couple of days quite a bit of rain as we expected we minimized our travel around town due to the rain but enjoyed the grounds in our hotel. We did take several excursions and were pleased with all of them, we did some snorkeling at South Key from a local group not from the hotel and we’re impressed with that service, and we also did some local fishing which was fun. We use the kayaks from the resort and had a marvelous time. I am not one to write a flowery review unless it is true, and in this case the service, the grounds, the amenities, were excellent. We will definitely be returning the next time we go to Belize.

Our trip to Belize was October 27th through the 29th, 2024. The trip was fantastic, starting from the moment we left baggage claim to meet our driver, Manuel, and ending with our departure with Isaiah as we headed back to Belize City. On the ride to Hopkins Bay Resort, Manuel taught us so much about Belize. Driving through the gate and seeing our names on the welcome board made us feel at home. The check-in process with Velena was quick, easy, and efficient. Wilbur greeted us as she escorted us to the Rhum Shack, where we picked up our welcome drink. We were escorted to our room, where we found lovely quarters for our stay at the resort. We enjoyed dinner later that evening and were pleased with how Shaq took care of us. We also had the pleasure of working with King, Timothy, Chaz, and a couple of ladies whose names I can't remember. We received professional answers to all of our questions. All of the recommendations that we received were spot on. We are looking forward to returning for the Settlement Day celebrations, perhaps as soon as next year. We would be thrilled to revisit Hopkins Bay Resort. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who diligently maintain the property, ensuring every guest experiences a warm and comfortable stay!

My stay was peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious, and overall comfortable. The workers were really nice and kind; remaining respectful and attentive. Would definitely be returning to stay at Hopkins Bay. Not to mention the pool was refreshing.
