We had a no view room situated on top of the laundry ,adjacent to the maintenance area for vehicles with staff arriving at 5.30am which is early for us to get up in the morning --- noisy . This side of the hotel is next to the entertainment area of the next hotel which is noisy up to 11.30pm. There are not enough sunbeds so you have to put your towels on them before 7am or use other hotels down the beach

Our stay in this beautiful country was more fantastic than we ever could ever have dreamed. The staff at Belizean dreams went above and beyond to ensure we had the absolute best experience possible. The food was great, the tours were exciting and informative, the location was excellent. We will no doubt be returning as soon as we can!!!!

We spent 5 fantastic nights at Belizean Dreams. We found the room to be quite comfortable. Rooms were in the process of being updated. Ours hadn't been done yet, but it just needed a fresh coat of paint and new electrical wall plates. Otherwise, it was fine.

The staff was incredibly helpful and found us a lighter blanket when we requested one. Airport transfers were a snap.

The location was gorgeous, and the locals were warm and welcoming.

We only ate breakfast in the restaurant, but the fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola we had was excellent.

All in all, a great place to stay!

Belizian Dreams Hopkins

Somewhat run down old timeshare nestled between nice resorts.
Staff very nice, trips in area is a commitment to drive.
No sandy beach in front as waves bring huge amounts of seaweeds. Snorkel and dives at least 35 min boat ride away.
Resort calculated my package price wrong.
Booked with Expedia much better offer.
Belize is interesting but the BD charges to much for what it is.

I went specifically to relax and rejuvenate and that was accomplished. The staff are very friendly and attentive, particularly in the dining room and bar area. It was also interesting to see the lawns being raked everyday and kept in great condition and the seaweed which washed up on the beach area being cleaned up an carted away. I would certainly return to this resort.

Even the husbands will like this place!

Very relaxing and laid back. Staff was fantastic, unit was great, food and drinks were yummy, hammocks on the beach were comfy. All units seem to have a water view. Other restaurants nearby were great too. Maybe best cheeseburger of my life was at Loggerhead's just down the street! Back to Belizean Dreams Resort! The staff gets to know you and what you like and go out of their way to make things happen. This was a girls trip but we will be going back with our husbands!

worth trying! Service is superb!

I couldn’t say much for their hospitality. Every staff was warm and welcoming. The room was always kept clean and everytime we came back from a day trip there was always fresh towels folded and arranged in animal shapes. My favorite was the rabbit, I guess, that’s how it looked like to me. The beach is really good for swimming and basking in the sun. If you like to snorkel, ypu uave to take trip into the islands. The room had the basic amenities you would need. Not luxurious but will keep you refreshed once your back on a trip. A few not-so-good things to mention but were really not a deal breaker. The tv reception was very grainy. The internet was very slow and intermittent, at times non-existent. It’s nice to be connected back after being disconnected from the “outside world” all day during the trip. It’s a dirt road leading to the hotel. The atmospehere though is very laid back in contrast to the more touristy location in Placencia. If ypu are going around Belize, you might as well rent a 4wheel suv, cheaper and you get more freedom.

Definitely will consider Belizean Dreams on our next trip to Belize! And I do recommend that you give it a try, too!

All employees did their best to make our stay memo

The draw backs for this place is the location versus the sites you want to see. Most are 2 1/2 hours away. Also, after coming back from tours, there isn't any entertainment in the evening. If you just want to relax mostly then it is an excellent spot to be, especially with the great staff.

Very beautiful resort!

We enjoyed our stay here last week. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff are wonderful. The assistant manager is particularly great at what he does, making sure everyone is enjoying their stay. I cannot say enough about the quality of the food and the wait staff...all excellent! The outdoor bar area is fun, located right next to the pool that overlooks the beach. Beautiful views from both the pool area and from the rooms. The resort provides transportation to multiple tours in the area. We rode horses through the rain forest and visited the Monkey River which provided opportunities to see multiple forms of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Good place to relax

Can't say enough about the staff - super friendly and helpful, offered great background on the area and knew our names after day 1. Family of 4, with 2 kids under 13, just perfect for chilling out. Kids mined all the coconuts they could reach (sorry Sergio!).

Snorkeling was a great trip, the waterfall trip was a tough one for the kids. Would definitely come back, we thought it was a good value.

The staff at Belizean dreams are what makes this hotel so great. They went out of their way to help every guest enjoy their vacation to the fullest. Also it was nice to stay in the villas. A nice change from staying in a crammed hotel room like on most vacations. Overall Hopkins in great place to just relax and enjoy some serenity. But Belizean dreams takes it a step further and cater to every guest to the fullest

Off the Beaten Path, Beautiful Place to Stay

We had a fantastic time. This is a small resort with 9, 3-room villas and you get exceptional service. We rented a car and drove from Belize City, it was about 2.5 hrs but an interesting drive. The Hummingbird Hwy had a few bad spots with potholes and broken pavement. The hotel is down a dirt road a bit past Hopkins Village. We had a snorkeling tour set for Friday but the weather forecast was for rain and the staff arranged for our tour on Thursday instead, for just the two of us. The boat ride to Coco Plum Island was about 20 minutes and the island is amazing, post-card like views. Great snorkeling. We also did the zip-line tour at Bocawina Resort about 45 minutes away, it was a blast!

Nice hotel on the beach.

It was easy to get to a flight to Belize Airport. I would recommend a small SUV if you rent a car. It is difficult to get to Hopkins. The large speed bumps and pot holes on the Hummingbird Highway are a distraction from the natural beauty of the area and the local drivers pass in no passing zones. The hotel has numerous tours which are expensive but easy in that you just have to show up. You can relax or keep busy with sightseeing. Hopkins is a central area from which you can take adventures. Hamanasi Resort is just north of Belizean Dreams and has many water related excursions such as snorkeling and scuba diving. There are nice restaurants along the beach within walking distance. The get to the town of Hopkins requires a car. There is good local food in Hopkins.

Beautiful grounds. Great room and ambience. Very private and intimate setting. Good food and exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff. As high quality as an American luxury resort. Only partial negative is access from airport difficult and village is very small without any American-style shops/support services. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

One of several beachfront resorts south of Hopkins

One of several beachfront resorts south of Hopkins along a thin stretch of golden beach. We looked at several of these, but booked this one because it had good rates and had great reviews. After being there for a week, we would have done several things the same, several different.
Rent a car ( Saving the $25-$50pp transit costs when you book thru the resort will more than pay for the car), leave the airport for the Western Highway before 1pm, drive to the ruins beyond San Ignacio. When it closes drive back to Sleeping Giant. Stay there long enough to swim in the Blue Hole National Park and St Herman cave tubing (much better than the commercial ones ($50pp and there were only the 2 of us + guide) and do one or two of Ian Anderson's trips (which start about 9am, book the day before). Drive to Hopkins (don't expect much here except a few bars and limited grocery store), book morning dives (Paradise & Jonah's Wall were our best ones; and call ahead to do the Blue Hole dive, as they generally only go when they have 8 people signed up), then do the Bacawona zip line and/or waterfall rappelling in the afternoons (20 minute drive, easy to do a dive in the am and the zip line and hikes in the pm). Belizean Dreams was great. The entire staff was excellent. We walked from one end (Hamanais) to the other (Barracuda), checked out the menus and amenities... and, in fact all were great. We dove with Hamanais. We were glad that we were not on the meal plan because it allowed it to

Nice place to visit once!

When we arrived the reception staff was mediocre. I tip the manager who walked us to the room and asked him to continually check in with us and tell us what the town and tours they had to offer. The grounds the maintenance in the restaurant staff were wonderful including the lady that cleaned the room just fantastic! The chef is a four star chef named Luis he was the highlight of the trip. He save this whole vacation for me.

Spring Break

Belizean Dreams was a great place for our family (kids 11 & 14). They went out of their way to make us happy and anything we asked for we received. The food was outstanding, the pool bar with all three bartenders was a highlight, and the front desk made this a wonderful vacation. If you plan on going make sure you understand that Hopkins is a poor area that is just beginning to be built up. This is far from commercial, but the people of the Village were the nicest locals we have ever met. We look forward to coming back.

Relaxing getaway

We stayed for 5 nights and loved it. The room was clean, quiet and air-conditioned. The resort grounds are picturesque and well-maintained. The staff is remarkably friendly, as were the guides for the tour to Xunatunich.

Daily we would ride the resort's complementary bikes into Hopkins village for lunch. The road gets dark in the evening, so we ate dinner either at Belizean Dreams or one of the neighboring resorts. There are plenty of other resorts within a short walk along the beach.

I expected to be surrounded by retirees and honeymooners, but most of the guests during our stay were mid-career couples seeking a quiet getaway. All hailed from either the States or Canada.

Great location

We just cam back from an amazing family trip (three children ages 10, 8, 7) at Belizean Dreams and really enjoyed it! The rooms are right on the beach and very spacious and comfortable. The restaurant and pool were both very nice as well. Staff is very friendly and gave good recommendations for local restaurants and tours/things to see, also provided great service. We rented a car ourselves and did day trips to the Mayan ruins Xunantunich (about a mile from Guatemala), traditional Mayan village in Indian Creek, Sittee River, Dangriga, Placencia, all easy to get to by car from the hotel. Would DEFINITELY recommend to a friend as a great place to go to!

Bucket list vacation

If you have never visited Belize before, you should consider staying at Belizean Dreams. It's a great place to relax, enjoy the sun, and witness the beauty of the largest leaving reef. The staff is friendly and they go out of their way to see that you have a great time. The daily adventures offered include ziplining and cave tubing, Mayan ruins at Xunantunich, island hopping and snorkeling at Coco Plum (you must do), Mayflower water and hiking tour (didn't do this, but heard it was great).
We flew into Belize City and took a quick 20 minute flight to Dandgriga. Belizean Dreams will pick you up in Dangriga. From there, it's another 30 minute ride to Belizean Dreams. The cost of the short flight to Dangriga and shuttle to the hotel for 2 people was $425.00 USD. Your other option is a 3+ hour shuttle from the Belize City airport to Belizean Dreams.
We ate all our meals at the resort. You choices outside the resort are very limited. However, we enjoyed every meal.
The grounds were beautiful. The pool was clean. The drinks at the pool side bar were good.
This is a nice place for couples. You can't go wrong.

\"What Belizean Dreams are made of\"

What can I say, in the 7 days we stayed at the resort IT was just fantastic from start to finish. From the moment we arrived and received our complimentry cocktails, to when we left and had all our bags carried to the transfer car, the service we received could not have been better. Such kind and friendly staff made for a truly wonderful part to our honeymoon. The room we had overlooked the pool area and the beach and was cleaned daily and fresh towels given. Had wifi but more importantly it was the staff and friends we made that made it a wonderful experience. This was one time my wife and I could truly just relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings we were in. We would both definitely recommend Belizean Dreams and we'll certainly be returning in the future.

My wife had an injury that limited her mobility. The office staff changed our room to a ground level one and set up a table on our veranda for our meals.

Wonderful week

My wife and I spent a week at Belizean Dreams recently. We enjoyed every part of the experience. The villas are beautifully built and appointed, with interiors and furniture all made of mahogany. The setting is very pretty with a clean sand beach a few steps from our villa. The food was delicious and prepared fresh for every meal, cooked to order. The staff, especially, were great, from the cleaning folks to the kitchen staff, to the bartenders. David, the manager, was always available and very accommodating. We didn't take advantage of all the excursions offered, but enjoyed what we did choose to do. We very much appreciated the way resort staff had things organized, including transportation from and to the airport at Dangriga. We are hoping to schedule a return trip with our children and grandchildren.
