Just finished a trip to Jaguar Reef in Hopkins. Exceeded all my expectations, will definitely come back again. Had never visited Belize before and Jaguar Reef Delivered. Can't say enough positive things about the staff we interacted with. Raquel who helped us plan some excursions was perfect in every way. She listened to what we were looking for and made suggestions that were on point. We did a half day snorkel and river cave tubing. Both were great and were high points of the trip. The Dock Bar Staff were always friendly and there to please. Rudy, Irwin, Darwin, and Cliff were always welcoming. They made it a point to always make us feel welcomed. Some great people who really enjoyed what they did. I missed one name and that was the fellow who worked at the Fusion Bar. Always smiling and welcoming. He was someone we looked forward to talking to daily. In the Paddle House Gabriel and Jason were our primary servers. Again, these guys shined and were very friendly no matter how busy they got (it was fairly busy for the off season). Gabriel and Jason hustled to show each table high attention and service. Captain Larry was another standout. Someone who was always smiling and asking you if there was anything he could do to make the stay even better. Once you meet Captain Larry, you'll never forget him. Facilities were great. Very well kept. There was a high level of detail put into making this place special that you could really see. There was always crews working either touching up paint or working the landscaping. There's plenty to do at the resort and significantly more to see and do in the village. Took a short trip into the village. Everyone is friendly. Everyone is nice. Belize was a great place to visit, but the real gem is the people: Rudy, Irwin, Cliff, Darwin, Gabriel, Jason, Raquel and Captain Larry made this a trip we'll never forget. Thank you to all for the effort and energy you put in day in and day out. It was truly noticed and very much appreciated.…
My husband and I just returned from spending the last 4 days of our honeymoon at the Lodge at Jaguar Reef, and we really didn't want to leave! We stayed in Villa B which is one of two seafront villas and it was absolutely gorgeous - the bed was comfortable, hot shower, cold A/C - all you need, with an amazing view! I can't say enough good things about the staff at the resort - they really did everything they could to take care of us. Richard and Sparrow in the bar made such delicious drinks and always kept the drinks flowing! Rudy, Edwin and Cliff at the Dock Bar were amazing and so creative with garnishes! Lance, Edgar and Gabriel took care of us for all our meals and made sure we always had everything we needed, and more. Captain Larry helped with our bags and made sure to try to point out the manatees for us every day. Chris at the Concierge desk helped make our Island Hopping/Snorkel tour the perfect last day! Captain Terry and Kenrick took us on our snorkel tour and Kenrick was such a knowledgeable tour guide and made a point to try to show us as many fish and sea creatures he could while snorkeling, and both took the time to give us so much information. Odalis at the front desk was a sweetheart too and helped arrange a romantic dinner on the beach for us our last night. We will definitely be back and tell everyone we know going to Belize to stay here! Thank you team at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef - we miss you already but hope to see you soon! Christina and Taylor. …
We had the greatest time. Our beachfront room was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive and incredible. Richard, Darwin, and Bruno were the best bartenders and made sure we had everything we could want. Jonathan was our driver for our return trip and made sure we got back to the airport safely and quickly and comfortably. We will definitely be returning!
Our family of 7 had an absolutely amazing time. The staff, food, and location were excellent. We have travelled around the world and we highly suggest this place to you! Go. You will love it. Everyone was amazing but our family fell in love with Captain Larry. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and just an awesome human being. Captain Larry. Thank you. You are incredible.
My family and I stayed at the Lodge at Jaguar Reef in June and it was an unforgettable experience. We were greeted with friendly staff and our room was amazing with beach front views, excellent amenities, and great room service. We ate at the Paddle House Restaurant every morning and night during our stay. The food was exceptional, especially the Longaniza Pasta and the Mayan Chocolate Cake. The homemade yogurt everyday was great as well. The dining staff made a special breakfast order for us since we had to leave for a tour early in the morning, making sure we had everything we needed! The best part of our dining experience was the service and our amazing server, Gabriel. Gabriel went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He chatted with us and developed a close relationship with us, while making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meals and our stay there. We hope to see him again at the Paddle House during our next stay at Jaguar Reef in the near future! The friendly staff made the trip exceptionally great and the food, room, and overall service was amazing. This place is a MUST stay at while in Belize!!…
This was an amazing find! Belize is lovely but the people are even more amazing! We arrived late night and the front desk folks hurried our check in so we could order room service. The guys at the bar delivered the food quickly and we’re so accommodating. Our first morning, we had a delicious breakfast at Paddle House. We also had amazing dinner later in the week with awesome service from Lance! We were greeted by Captain Larry, the beach captain, who gave us the ins and outs of the resort and made great recommendations for lunch and activities. We spent every afternoon at Dock Bar with great service from Lance and Cliff! Great drinks and water fun! Raquel at concierge helped us make a reservation for snorkeling to Silk Caye… the highlight of our stay. Our tour guides Mike and Michael/ Richie were THE BEST! They were patient and safe and made the day unforgettable! This is a gem and I recommend folks come, though I wish we could keep it our little secret!…
My time at The Lodge Jaguar Reef was so relaxing. Captain Larry made sure me and family had everything we needed. Never hesitated to check on us when he saw us. So nice and such a pleasure. Will definitely return!
Its a nice place... love it that my room came with a private pool... didnt like that there was a scorpion there to greet my kids.... the rooms are quiet... even though there is construction going on just next door from the hotel.
So lucky to have found this place!! Was our first time in Belize and the staff at Hopkins ensured we had a wonderful experience. I went with my family of 4 and stayed in a two-bedroom room overlooking the beach. The room was very spacious and placed us incredibly close to the ocean. During our stay, we went on two tours: island-hopping w/ snorkeling and the chocolate tour w/ river-tubing. Captain Mike and Anthony on the snorkeling trip were very knowledgeable and personalized the experience for our family. On our river tubing adventure, Cipi made sure to keep us safe and pointed out lots of animals we would have missed without him. Back at the resort Bruno at the swim-up bar was AMAZING. He made personalized drinks for us and knew exactly what we wanted whenever we showed up. Overall I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a fun, tropical vacation. Can't wait to go back!…
We arrived in Hopkins with no reservations. We checked out a few different places in the Hotel Zone...our fourth stop was here and we knew we had to stay here for a least a couple of nights. We had an amazing room, actually like a lovely condo, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living area and dining room. Pool right out side our door and the ocean just beyond that. Free bikes, kayaks, tubes, paddle boards, rope swing...used them all! The staff, from the front desk to housekeeping, to the sargassam removers to security, everyone was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to get to know. Captain Larry has an amazing spirit! James and Nicki had helpful hints and were very nice guys. After a couple of nights there enjoying our surroundings and Hopkins itself, we decided to 7 nights there. Love it. Highly recommend!! We ate at the restaurant a number of times and everything was delicious!…
