Buttonwood Belize

I can’t say enough good things about this location. The customer service was unmatched! I was on a corner suite and traveling solo, and it was one of the kindest gestures to experience when the manager came by specifically just to make sure I was enjoying my stay and not feeling isolated.|Beyond that, every.single.person. remembered my name (restaurant staff, managers, reception, etc). It was such an extra touch that really was appreciated, especially traveling solo.|I stayed in the Blueground room and it was PERFECT. I know some reviews talk about the drums/noise but personally, the Garifuna drumming outside my patio is one of my favorite parts of my stay. I kept my screen door open most of the time just to hear them play. On top of that, i LOVED the rooftop area. The stars at night were beautiful and the sunsets/beach view was one of my favorite things about the property. They also had free bike rentals but it is in such a central location, I enjoyed walking everywhere!||The room was top notch, the food was great, the pool and beach access was incredible and I will only stay here when I return to Hopkins!||Thank you to all the staff!

This is our (self, wife, and now 6yr old son) goto place in Hopkins. This past Christmas '24 was our fourth time staying here. Buttonwood is in a more private setting than the sister property, Coconut row. Both properties are a big step up from your average Belizean accommodations. The service is excellent, the owner Damion and the entire staff are friendly and ready to help with anything. The pool at Coconut row is a perfect place to cool down in the middle of the day. The restaurant served great quality food and good portions. We rent a car and do a lot of our own exploring, but all the other guests we've talked to enjoy the excursions this company offers. As for the room itself: We've stayed in three different rooms, two had kitchens. this last trip we stayed in the second floor apartment without kitchen because it's easy and cheap enough to eat out. Very clean. Sheets clean and crispy. Towels clean and fluffy. A/c works as it should. All rooms have a coffee maker and you are supplied with very good coffee, refilled everyday when cleaned. Very modern building. All light switches work as should. No sharp edged tiles on the shower floor. You'll know what I'm talking about if this is not your first trip to Belize. We'll be back again and again. We recommend this place to any friends that are traveling this way.

This is a really lovely place and the staff make the experience even more enjoyable. We stayed at a first floor ( 2nd floor to Americans) room. Very spacious with a lovely view across the clean beach and coconut trees over the sea. I was concerned about late night noise at Hopkins as there are quite a few beach shacks which play music till late in the night but there was no such problem near Buttonwood. |Air con was strong and quiet. Bathroom big with good water pressure. Bed large with comfortable pillows. There was a microwave, small fridge, set of crockery including wine glasses and a filter coffee machine.|Very clean and not many bugs. |You check in at Coconut Row and they'd bring you and bags to Buttonwood. Just a couple of minutes drive. No lift but the staff would help to bring the bags up. |We used to walk to their sister property Coconut row and enjoy our meal there. The swimming pool is also there. |The area felt very safe and we walked along the beach, all the way to the resorts and also to the Garimaya shop. Lots of iguanas and beautiful pelicans, sandpipers and frigate birds around. We also had fresh coconut water as well. |Our trip to Glover's got cancelled because of bad weather and the management quickly found an alternative private snorkelling experience for us. |Highly recommended.

The room was exceptional! Very spacious, clean, and it had a great sized balcony with a brilliant view of the beachfront. The staff were all so helpful and friendly too. The beachfront area in front of the property was very well kept and it was great to spend some time relaxing on the sun loungers.

My husband and I stayed at Buttonwood for 4 nights earlier this month and it was a wonderful stay. This is part of the Coconut Row hotel, but a separate building a couple hundred yards down the beach. We had the 3rd floor room, which has a wonderful balcony with great views and easy access to the roof-top deck, which has even better views, including sunset views to the west. There is also a very nice beach in front of the building. The sargassum is an issue this time of year, but we were still able to enjoy the beach even if we didn't get into the water from the beach. Coconut Row does have a nice pool, so we spent a lot of time there. Adjacent to the pool is a bar and restaurant - good drinks, good food, and the staff is great. ||Our room itself was great - very comfortable and well-appointed with everything that we needed. We had a kitchenette so we could keep our beverages cool and heat up leftovers as needed.

We stayed in the Blue ground room which was decent and right on the beach (all of them are I believe). The beach there was clean and calm. The staff is very friendly (we mostly saw them at the sister property Coconut Row). The major downfall for us was the noise. There is a restaurant a few feet away that does Garifuna drumming which is very fun, except the first night we were there (a Wednesday) they played until after 10:30. We were traveling with our 18m old so this was a problem. Other nights were calmer but they still played until at least 8:30 and the sound carried well into the room. The other thing that was annoying was that upon check in they make you sign this agreement about things like quiet hours (ironic bc the drumming goes well into quiet hours) and various charges for damages to minor things (like stained towels). I'm not sure if they had issues in the past with guests but it just seemed tacky and left us with a bad taste the whole trip. Finally, the smoke detector was removed from our room.

Buttonwood is such a hidden gem! Amazing facilities; Buttonwood is incredibly well taken care of, and our room had granite countertops and mahogany furnishings! On top of a gorgeous room (with a large, private balcony with hammocks), there is now a brand new pool (as of this time not yet pictured in the listing, located a few hundred feet away at the main property) with lounge chairs, and directly next to the beach - both of which are kept immaculately clean. During the length of our stay we also had the opportunity to visit several other nearby resorts; and Buttonwood completely blows them away-both in quality and price. The on-site restaurant (Coconut Husk) is excellent, and thankfully offers great vegetarian and vegan options. There are other terrific food options nearby. We didn't take advantage of booking a tour, but you can do so for a variety of options through the main office. Again, our stay was far beyond our expectations for the price. Incredibly kind owners and staff. Absolutely delightful, overall! Highly, highly recommended!

Enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The place is clean and beautiful. Our 2 yr old son had a blast swimming in the ocean. Friendly staff and great services too! We love Belize and for sure to visit again in the future!! Buttonwood is highly recommend!
