We had a fantastic experience at Hopkins Bay. The staff (particularly Chloe at the front desk, Andrew who helped with our excursion tours, Wilber at the bar, and many more whose names I unfortunately didn’t catch) was so friendly and helpful, especially with our 14-month old. The resort conveniently offers golf cart and bike rentals to explore the town. The food at the Rhum Shack and local restaurants was amazing - definitely try as many of the local dishes as you can. Aside from the Rhum Shack, I’d recommend Ella’s, Driftwood, and J&J’s but we didn’t have a bad meal anywhere. We did the Xunantunich and cave tubing excursions, which were both great and the guides were amazing. They include a bit of a drive but we enjoyed seeing other parts of the country, and Andrew had interesting facts and history to share throughout the trip. I did two days of fly fishing with Kevon from Blue Horizon, which was a ton of fun and he is an awesome dude. The flats and cayes are amazing to see, fishing aside. I was picked up from the dock in front of the resort (waves permitting, otherwise you get picked up at the marina). The beach isn’t pristine, but they do a good job clearing it each morning and the pool is great. This a fantastic place for friends and families looking for a less commercialized and more authentic taste of local culture. We’ll be back!
