Two girlfriends and I recently returned from a week stay at Coconut Row, a charming hotel on the beach in the center of the town in the quiet fishing village of Hopkins, Belize. It was the perfect vacation from start to finish, from our pickup at Belize Airport by Ricky our knowledgeable driver, to our departure, all facilitated by to the front desk staff, Dey and Erika were welcoming and helpful. |Our room was the Sunrise Suite on the beach with an amazing view of the ocean. We were able to catch great sunsets and sunrises. Two bedrooms, a kitchenette and balcony overlooking the ocean, perfect for the morning coffee or evening drink, and lounge chairs on the beach right in front of our suite. There was also a beautiful pool to sit around. |We decided to book the all inclusive package which included breakfast and lunch and three tours. The food was absolutely delicious with a varied menu. The wait staff were attentive and very nice. We can’t say enough about all the hardworking staff, from the young man who raked and cleaned the beach everyday, and the other ground staff, the housekeeping staff who left our suite immaculate everyday, the restaurant staff and the evening security guard, Steven who checked on us each night. |The resort was spotless, the service was excellent and we loved being on the beach. The ocean water was so fun, warm, easy to swim, kayak and paddle board in. The whole ambiance was relaxed, friendly and low key. |We also went on several excursions. For the Mayan ruins, we had our driver Ricky as our guide, who was very knowledgeable, fun and a great sense of humor. |We also did the snorkeling tour and our guide Jamar was so helpful, diving deep to point out fish and coral. And Dude’s driving skills over the swells were amazing! The river and jungle tour with Terry was interesting and we enjoyed listening to the history of the area. |We were there in the off season so the town was quiet and we walked to restaurants and enjoyed the Garifuna culture, particularly the drumming. |We also met Damien, the owner, who checked in on us and wanted to make sure everything was to our liking. He was very welcoming. |It was exactly what we were looking for, a low-key resort with great staff, wonderful food, walking distance to other places, interesting excursions and very relaxing. We would highly recommended it.
