"Hopkins Bay Resort is located on the beach right near the town of Hopkins; accommodations include one-, two-, and three-bedroom beach houses. Local art and polished mahogany furniture signal that this is no cookie-cutter chain hotel. The spacious houses are perfect for families or small groups traveling together. Resort activities include dance and music performances that reflect the traditions of the local Garifuna people, descendants of Africans brought to the New World as slaves. Staff can also arrange excursions to numerous cultural and historic attractions, not only in and around Hopkins, but also to iconic sites such as Xunantunich, a Maya site, and the Blue Hole, one of the world's most popular destinations for scuba diving."

A beautiful location, with a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were very spacious and clean with super showers and wash basins. The beds were clean and comfortable. |It was expensive but we paid Christmas prices. There was some noise level from the room above, mostly caused by feet going up and down the stairs which was exacerbated by the cupboard in one bedroom acting as a sounding box. The service was good, all staff lovely to speak to. The Rhum shack served delicious food as did the Embers restaurant. The rooms were advertised as " Full Kitchen complete with Coffee-Maker, Cooking Utensils, Dishwasher, Microwave, Blender, Refrigerator, and Stove" There were lots of utensils but no cooking pans, the cupboard held 2 suucepan lids, 1 small frying pan, a truly awful chopping board and nothing else. I asked for a kettle to make tea and was given a very old large saucepan. A day later a very pleasant man called Walter called with a kettle, I gave him the unhygienic chopping board to take away. The fridge freezer and microwave were excellent. Not able to use the oven. We enjoyed our stay, ate out most days, the heavy rain was rather miserable towards the end of our stay, when most of the walkways were flooded and made it difficult to take our luggage to the car.

If you are looking for a relaxed beach getaway in a laid back extra friendly town, you will not be disappointed by Hopkins Bay Resort! The staff was phenomenal, (shout out Wilbur, Shaquil, King & Teo!!!) The food was really truly fantastic. It was fresh and local! We walked the beaches and took the bikes out for a ride in town. Will be heading back!

Beautiful setting at the edge of the ocean, with a pretty beach restaurant and nice neighboring beach restaurant, as well. We had an ocean front 2 BR/2BA villa. Beautiful pool, good equipment like kayaks and SUPs readily available to just take and use. The beach is raked every day to remove the plants and other stuff that wash ashore, which also makes the water very murky (so no snorkeling). We were there after a lot of rain so the nearby river emptied some of the jungle into the water and it was like swimming in mulch. So swimming wasn't good but all other beach activities were still great (including kayaking into the mouth of said river and seening birdlife). It was nicely appointed with filtered water provided and a well equipped kitchen. Certain things were in need of maintenance. The sliding doors didn't work well and one of our drapes was held together with staples (which broke, so we had a gap in our drape that we had to fix with the clever use of a fork!). Our coffee maker was ancient and broken, but staff replaced it very quickly with a new one. Both mornings there was no coffee in the restaurant as they use an urn that would run out but then require a long time to re-brew. By 8:30a it was empty both days and there were no other options. Overall, though, we really liked our stay and would return for sure. So tranquil!

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of space in the rooms and across the grounds, plus not many guests, made for a very relaxing experience. The Rhum Shack as consistently very good, highlighted by King the morning bar tender. Easy to bike into town, although renting golf carts made access all of town -- including the southern part of Hopkins -- extra accessible. Pack bug spray (they were bad in late January), and book a snorkeling tour with Happy Go Lucky tours.

Outstanding venue and service! This is our second time at the resort and hope to return soon. The entire staff worked incredibly hard to make sure we had everything we needed. Our welcome by Verlene was warm and caring - answering all our questions and giving valuable information. ||From our room stewards to the incredible staff at the Rum Shack for meals, snacks, and cocktails - all were handled as if we were family. King, Michelle, Wilbur, and Veronica made sure we were always fed or had drinks at the ready!||The grounds were beautiful and impeccable as always.||My wife experienced a health issue while we visited and Verlene and Mike made sure we were able to get to a doctor for diagnosis - then got to appointments without question, safely, and without hesitation. ||We have and will continue to recommend Hopkins Bay Resort to all our friend and relatives!

There’s really nothing better than waking up to palm trees and the ocean every morning. We absolutely loved our stay here at Hopkins Bay. The room was big and spacious. The food and drinks PHENOMENAL!! Plus the service even better! The resort offers amazing excursions that make your vacation the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure. I highly recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at Hopkins bay for a few days over new years. ||Pros: |Houses are large, if you book multiple bedrooms it’s good for families |Two pools are nice |A fun restaurant vibe (beach-y) ||Cons: |Service is lacking. With the exception of a great bartender and a few nice servers, it felt like we were bothering people to ask for anything |Dinners took upwards of 2 hours for food |Currently have a real problem of seaweed at Hopkins beach. Water isn’t swimmable.
