The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

This place and its staff are amazingly kind, helpful and personal. Lucas made the best spicy margarita I’ve ever had!! We got great suggestions on getting out and seeing sights and places to eat. They make sure that you have all you need for a wonderful trip. Captain Larry greeted me on the beach with a flower and made sure I didn’t miss the manatees! And later even got me a fresh coconut for coming water. We will be back for a longer stay soon! Thank you.

We had a really amazing stay at jaguar reef. We had two villas for 7 ppl and the space really met our needs. The staff was exceptional, especially Steven at the main bar, captain larry, and Lucas at the dock bar. Those 3 dudes really made our stay amazing. They all gave great recommendations for places to visit and eat. The food at paddle house is SO good and I think I had about 15 ceviches from the dock bar :) the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Only minor qualm is the cleaning service was a little lacking but the staff quickly corrected it when I messaged them about it (Julio at the front desk was very helpful). Thanks again for a memorable and beautiful stay!

Fantastic stay at Jaguar Reef. Staff was incredibly friendly, rooms are modern and spotless. Our kids (6 and 8 year olds) LOVED it. Our 2 bed/2 ba Villa was very spacious with a huge balcony and ocean view. We went to Alaia after for 3 more nights in San Pedro but my kids wanted to go back to Jaguar Reef. Free kayak and SUPs, fun overwater pier area where you can swing off of with a rope. The Paddlehouse, restaurant on site, had great food as well. The kids menu was very reasonable. They even offer a very reasonable cash advance charged to your room, it was basically the current conversion with a $2-5 fee. Much less than ATM. I felt the photos of the resort did not do it justice. In person it felt much more upscale and modern.

Captain Larry has been beyond accommodating for us and so friendly! Everyone at Jaguar Reef has been so nice and Steven makes the best drinks in the inside bar. Everything is clean and the room set up with the front porch is so nice to enjoy my morning coffee. Highly recommend staying here!!

First time to Belize and our expectations were exceeded. From accommodating and attentive staff, to amazing excursions, we’ll be back! Snorkeling was amazing with Kendrick, Alex, and Elisha. All were helpful and showed sharks and stingrays. Victor for our chocolate and jaguar preserve tour was informative, funny, and safe recognizing our skill level to hike and swim. Worth the hike to hit the beautiful waterfall that (with a cave) we were able to swim into. Mike our dependable cab driver was filled with great restaurant recommendations. We would highly recommend the Paddle House, Don Tonitos, Dehlia’s, and Barbara’s for tasty local fare and local music. Can’t say enough about the friendliness of the Belizean people. And, for local art and/or souvenirs, check out Gari Maya. If you don’t find anywhere including amazing artwork. We will be back! Thank you Belize for a beautiful, memorable experience.
