Great place to stay, a little out of the town so make sure you have proper transportation planned.

A true Garifuna experience in a rural setting.

We loved the house, the authentic decorations and the comfortable beds. Ingrid was a great host, she responded very quickly to (many) e-mails and picked us up at the bus station. We were there for the Garifuna festival in November, and it was great to sleep in a quiet house and not in the middle of a partying city. The downside: the house is a little bit far from the center and not in an area you can walk alone at night. This means you always have to call/text a cab each time you want to do/buy something. A taxi takes only 5 minutes and is very cheap though, and Ingrid arranged a friend/cab driver who was 24/7 available for us during our stay. Because it's in the middle of nowhere, chances are you hear noises around the house at night. I just tried to think they came from animals ;) The shower didn't have a lot of water, but Ingrid said it would be fixed soon after raining season.

Authentic home. Lovely history. Not the Hilton....thank goodness. Wish we had had more time to chat only one night in Dangriga.

The hosts were very accommodating. They picked me up from the bus and brought me to the house.

The house is colorful and fun -- we esp loved the art and functional kitchen. The location easy walking distance but a good idea to use a flashlight after sunset. Close to hospital and a nice fruit stand. We had a little trouble coordinating check-in (partly my fault, we had no phone but when I could use, they weren't reachable and so had to rely on internet cafe to connect via email, couldn't check in until 5). Once arranged, they quickly picked us up, stopped so we could bulk up on some food supplies, left a map for downtown Dandriga arts. Description says "warm" shower and Americans prob expect this to mean "scalding" but it's cold/tepid at best, they were were told it would be fixed soon.

The place was ok, but very far away from everything and you need some private transport to get in. It is a nice house on the farm but this was not the house we were looking for. Maybe we didn't read all the information about the house in airbnb, but there were not WIFI, not safe water, the lights of the house very poor and many many mosquitos. Also the information that Ingrid gave us about the city was very poor and old, I mean they gave us a couple of flayers about Dangriga (old flayer with old information) and that's all.

Great place and wonderful family run hotel. CLEAN, SAFE, and air conditioned rooms. Highly recommend them if you are traveling to Dangriga.

Chad Jr. planned two trips for me - one was even the day after I left his place! He was persistent in getting a hold of the outdoor adventure places until he arranged my pickup and booking. The rooms were clean and large. A/C was wonderful. Eleanor came upstairs to check on me. Great host! Only trouble: lots of dogs barking through the night.

This place is amazing. If your looking for something quiet and private, it's perfect. I recommend having transportation of your own, unless your ok walking a couple miles each way. This place is truly heaven if you want to be secluded.

Perfect couples retreat. Right on the water and away from others. Great choice if youre in the Dangriga area.

Pros: house is big and very nice. Beds were good and new. Kitchen and bedrooms were all nice and new. Beautiful yard and covered patio was lovely. Good price. Tv and DVD player provides with DVDs ( no tv service though just movies) Cons: wifi is not wifi it's a cellular USB key that only works if you have a lap top ( which we don't travel with). The gardener was kind enough to lend us his wife's laptop as we could not stay at the property without the ability to research different excursions each night. We could only make this cellular USB key work from the bedroom with the walk through bathroom and even then it was very slow like dial up. Owner needs to have someone by a mifi set up for the house which is inexpensive and is what other residents in humming bird estates use for reliable internet. Several light bulbs were burnt out. No a/c in bedroom with window beds, all the screens do not deal so no windows could be open due to bugs. Washing machine needs a y- joint to the hot and cold so both can be used at the same time. Currently there is only 1 hose so you have to only use hot or cold for laundry. Washing machine is very manual. You must set it to wash. Then set it to drain. Then I found the need to rinse the washer bun with the hose and then fill again and rinse and drain again- all manual. It's hard on cloning. The drier is a spinner only and hard on clothing. Clothing must be hung on the numerous clothes lines on the covered patio. House has no instruction manual/ binder. Propane stove is attached ( outside the house) with what looks like a water hose and not gas line grade but has safe piping inside the house. 2 out of 3 living room ceiling fans do not work. Ceiling fan in small bedroom without a/c does not work either. But 2 floor fans are provides.

The host greeted us at the property and waited for our long arrival from Belize City.

This is a clean, spacious and open house. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions and getting groceries provided you have a car. There is no wifi or cable but there is a selection of DVD's for evening entertainment. Although it has beds for 6, it is equipped for 4. There is a large screened patio but had only one hammock and one chair. The addition of outdoor furniture and wifi is needed to make this a great rental. Overall it was a good value and I would recommend it for travelers wanting to enjoy the mainland attractions.

The house is lovely, was pristine when we arrived and is located in a very convenient location in Southern Belize. It was fully appointed with everything you'd need to be at home, similar to a time share - dishes, pots, pans, linens, cleaning supplies. You will need strong insect repellent for travel in June/July, it's rain and fruit season so mosquitos are heavy! The property handy-person Aaron B. was absolutely wonderful, assisting us as Marijo's liaison. Together we solved the very real challenge of getting around. You'll definitely need a car as the house sits inside a private complex, and is 10 minutes from Dangriga and 20 minutes from Hopkins Bay Resort. Renting a car was a challenge (and you must be careful about reliability). It was just as cost effective for us to hire a taxi for food shopping and local excursions, and we did transfer over to HBB for a couple of days to access water therapy and some touristy activities (we saved a lot paying to get there on our own; if you can get a reliable car do it!) The only real challenge at the property was the wifi access, which was provided via a USB stick. We left instructions to improve that process, but you should bring a hotspot for your smartphone just in case. Marijo was as responsive as possible and Aaron Burns helped each morning as we problem solved my family's needs. Fortunately, everything worked out and we're happy with the stay. The only other suggestion would be to make arrangements to have food delivered in anticipation of your stay; it will make the first day/night so much easier. Good luck!

This place is wonderful! Aaron made sure we were comfortable and brought us fresh fruit harvested from right on the property! Martin was super responsive when the a/c needed fixing. Love the layout of the house, the sunroom is perfect for relating in a hammock watching yo laundry dry on the washing line. Easy drive into Dangriga or South to adventures!

This place is amazing. Nice and quiet for our family of 4. It is perfect to be right next to the resort to with a great bar and restaurant.

We've stayed in Hopkins Bay for a week. We can only recommend the place. It was a pleasure from the booking through the check out. The personnel makes it easy to only concentrate on having fun. We've got very detailed answers for our questions, got help with the transport, we've had a very nice welcome as well. We've stayed in apartment 1A, which probably the best, quite separated and directly on the beach. The place has everything you need, kajaks, bikes, pool, internet, you name it. It is just as luxurious as it seems on the pictures. The beach is beautiful and clean. Hopkins is a cozy town, with nice people and is a good location to base all your trip to the jungle (hiking, ruins, caves, waterfalls, animals and so on) We've always felt safe. I would like to mention the wonderful personnel, every one of them works hard so you have the best experience. At the reception they'll help you with any request, organising trips, or any special need. The cooks are amazing, you'll only find delicious belizean food here. The waiters always smiling and like to fool around. And then there is a whole team who works constantly to make the place perfect. Our designated driver was also amazing. Was good to learn about local things, and he was very helpful and flexible if we wanted an extra stop. All the programs we've participated in were professional with good, experienced and funny guides. So again, we would definitely come again, and can only recommend the place. It is something you'll always remember.

We stayed in the upper unit studio for a week (they're all the same, either the 2 bed suite on the ground floor or studio up top). The room was well appointed, the pictures are accurate. The beach is nice, but because the current was so rough, we could only swim once, so we opted for the pool. The only downside I have is not reflective of the resort, rather it's the location. Hopkins is very tiny and there's not much nearby, aside from the resort's restaurant and neighboring Driftwood Pizza. We were glad to use the complimentary bikes to cruise to town and even more thankful to have our own car.

Location of the comfort inn lodge is 2 min walk from bus stop once you arrive in Hopkins village don't pay $7bze walk enjoy safe people are wonderful. We took the bus from Belize City 3hrs $6 bze per person $3 us have fun bring bug spray.

Fantastic beach hut! Under-advertised and over delivered... The hosts were luckily nearby so we got to meet them as well. Hopkins is a cute little beach town, this was biking distance to everything.

We found the house to be very appealing and cosy in a wonderful location right on the beach. Although we found it very interesting in its rustic style, we do think it could be better kept. Unfortunately we found it to be dirty with a few cockoraches around the kitchen and dining area. It needs a little love and extra cleaning. Hopkins is a very beautiful place specially on the local side if town! Thanks!

Really is right on the beach. The north end of Hopkins is still quaint and sleepy and not all touristy.

Blu Heven was the perfect introduction to Belize for us. The cabana was right on the beach as advertised. The beach was clean and we went for multiple swims daily. We rode the supplied bicycles all over town, including one trip all the way to the south end of Hopkins. The cabana was rustic and very cozy with the sea breeze floating over us as we slept in the fully netted bed. We enjoyed our morning coffee and tea, as well as our afternoon rum drinks on the porch, watching the activity on the beach and the little restaurant across the street. Mike was very friendly, as were all of the local residents we met. We really enjoyed staying in the north part of the village to get a feel for the local people and their culture. The day we left, Mike personally drove us to the airport in dandriga, about a half hour away. Thanks for everything Mike !

A little piece of paradise with the loveliest people! Michael and his wife Bette are fantastic and neighbour Marva was wonderful and a fabulous cook, I can't wait to get back there! Captain Ash took us out for a great day and turns out he's a fabulous cook too ;) Best vacation ever, thanks to everyone!!!!

The beach is literally the front yard. It is such a cute cabana. Everything was good. The shower was surprisingly wonderful. Mosquito nets were a big plus. Fun place with an excellent restaurant right next door. The local neighbors were super friendly. A one of a kind experience that we enjoyed!

La literie est confortable et la chambre spacieuse. L'endroit est calme. Le déjeuné proposé est très bon. Les extérieurs pourraient être bien mieux entretenus. Les équipements de la chambre se font vieux (lavabo sur le point de tomber, fuite des toilettes, douche sans eau chaude au départ et mauvaise odeur du frigo.)

Our company enjoyed our second stay at Buttonwood. Wish we could of stayed longer.

Damian was great! There were a couple issues with the place that we took up with him at the end of our trip. The issues were simple; even though it does state clearly that the air conditioning is only provided from 7pm till 7am, with the price we were paying for this place I would not return without air conditioning that we can turn on to cool ourselves during the day, if needed. The windows could not be left open as the screen size is quite large, so it is not sand fly proof. For that matter there were inch gaps between the screen frame and the window frame, so they were quite pointless. On top of this, the screen door would not keep out a rat, never mind a sandfly! This meant we needed to keep the windows and door closed. We generally stay outside the appt until night anyway, but it would be nice to be able to have a place to cool off - if needed - during the day. We found this to be quite a concern for us, and for this reason I could only rate the place 3 out of 5. The other concerns were of little worrisome and I am sure they are already handled by Damian.

Tricia was the most responsive a host could be. She made it a priority to be a great resource for us for any questions my family and I could have possibly had. I traveled with my mom and dad (60yrs +) and she took great care of them. We got lost and she was so worried she had all the rangers on call in expectation of our arrival. The Tipple Tree Beach oasis was lovely and accommodated four perfectly. She set up a snorkeling tour with Noel, who caters to all skill levels and ages. We are feeling so gracious for the above and beyond hospitality we experienced from Tricia and the entire town of Hopkins. The Garifuna culture embraced us, and we had a lovely vacation, overall.

Tricia is a wonderful host and contacted us immediately when we booked and was so responsive our whole vacation providing us great information. She also connected us with an awesome guide for cave tubing. This location is perfect if you want to live with the people of Hopkins and get a real experience instead of a cookie cutter resort. The location was also central to all the activities we did throughout Belize. Best restaurant just 100 feet from the house and others only a couple minutes walk down the street, all home cooking from the people of Hopkins. This was the best vacation ever and Tricia's bnb made it all possible!

Hopkins is such a lovely town and the Cocoplum apartment was the perfect place to stay! The daytime view is amazing and you can see so many stars at night. It was so relaxing to lay in the hammocks, a great place to nap with a nice breeze. You have a private beach which was freshly raked every day before we woke. The water is shallow for quite a ways out, perfect for swimming and manatee watching! The apartment was very clean and had all of the amenities one may need. Very easy to feel right at home in a tropical paradise! Tricia was the BEST hostess. She lives next door and was kindly available to assist with any questions or needs. She even provided us with some last minute first aid supplies. Tricia was a great resource for planning our trip prior to arrival and very responsive to messages. She assisted us with booking a snorkel trip with Noawell's (also highly recommend, Marley was great). Tricia has a lot of knowledge about other sites outside of Hopkins. I appreciated her insight into our planned excursions. Thanks Tricia! We had some rain during our visit, which I think brought out the "no see-ums" but insect repellent with deet kept them from biting. Be sure to bring some just in case. I can't say enough good things about my stay, I hope to come back one day!

Great location, big comfortable rooms with beautiful tiling throughout. Porch and access to beach - FABULOUS!

I didn't actually stay at the sandpiper beach cabin because I was told in advance it was not available. The place I stayed was very basic. I imagine I could have found something better and cheaper without booking in advance.

Juanitas cabana was beautiful, we really loved it. We'd recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in Hopkins! Thanks you!
