Beaches & Dreams and Cabana Village

Beaches and Dreams was the perfect place for our family to stay while visiting Hopkins Village in Belize. We are a family of four with a 9 year old and an almost 3yr old. The staff was amazing. The sales/lobby staff including Darnel were great at communicating and planning excursions that elevated our trip while still giving us downtime to really enjoy our stay. We stayed in the "Treehouse " room which was a great space for a young family. The ability to be close to Hopkins yet have space and a quiet homebase for us was a must and this was the perfect location for just that. The resort staff was willing to do anything they could to assist us. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. Having the Baracuta restraunt right there was also a great addition. The wait staff at the Baracuta made my family feel welcome at each meal and the food was always excellent. Special shout out to Amanda and Kelsy who were both so friendly that by the end both my kids wanted to make sure to say goodbye and even got hugs. We took advantage of several tours during our stay as well. The tour guides were all knowledgeable and welcoming. Manuel who took us to the Mayan ruins and the spice farm was the perfect guy for the job, Victor who took us bird watching was excellent and his love for birds was obvious and contagious. Captain Floyd and his team who took us snorkeling were friendly and knowledgeable, also patient with us bringing along a 3 year old who was obviously not going to be the best at snorkeling. And Oz who took drove us to our Monkey River tour was friendly and informative along our drive. An all around amazing experience. Couldn't have asked for a better staff from Resort to restaurant to tours everyone was amazing. Definitely recommend if staying in Hopkins Village. - Casey - 3/13/2025 

Absolutely the most relaxing vacation we have taken. 2 couples, brother/sister and spouse’s. We stayed in the cabana rooms. Spacious room with wonderful location to beach, pool and restaurant, beds are comfortable and the a/c and fans kept the room perfect for us. Loved having the fridge and water bottle in the room. Loved the private patio.

Restaurant and bar, lots of food to eat everyday, we had to cut back drastically as there was so much. Enough of a variety for a weeks stay. Loved the fresh made everything. Loved the staff who got to know us pretty quickly. Shout out to Ben, Amanda, Kelsey. Mrs. P. And Doreen. All were great.

Loved that we choose our excursions ahead of time and had our days planned out. We did Bioluminescence tour, snorkeling, ruin and cave tubing, ATV, and monkey river tours. Great tour guides, KMiike was wonderful in the water tours.

We felt spoiled by all staff. We loved the small all inclusive feel over a Larger resort. Would highly recommend the resort and Hopkins village.

Read the information posted when making a reservation, they are very upfront with what is offered, available and costs.

Notes = they can’t control the weather or the sand bugs. But they do offer suggestions for both, so there are no surprise.

Use a golf cart to visit the village, a small town close by.

Thanks so much for a great vacation, will recommend and come back. - nadine - 3/15/2025 

This was absolutely the best vacation I've ever been on, so far. To the staff of both the resort and the Barracuda, thank you all so much for a wonderful time. Everything was perfect for our vacation. From the exciting excursions that allowed us to see your beautiful country to the fine dining and even Ruger the beach dog I can't think of a better place to spend a week. We already miss you guys and can't wait to see you all again. - Rick - 4/15/2023 

We had a great time staying at Beaches & Dreams. Everyone who works there really cares about providing the best experience possible for their guests. I want to thank Miss Lauren for accommodating my schedule change requests which enabled us to snorkel on a Friday that turned out to be the perfect day for snorkeling. I want to help thank Nadine and Darnell for helping us with our reservations and answering our many questions.

I want to thank Keith especially for being an amazing and patient tour guide. I want to thank the snorkeling guides but I don’t remember their names. They were wonderful. I also want to thank Manuel who took us on two tours and was fun and very knowledgeable. The front desk staff were also wonderful Marissa, Maritchka (so?), Justin, Darnel, and Darnel. Oz, our driver was also really great and we just loved his daughter. The kitchen staff are fantastic as well - especially the chef who always came to check on us Miss P, who was always so sweet and cheerful in the morning and Amanda, who was our photographer for our unforgettable honeymoon dinner. If there’s anyone I forgot I apologize the entire crew was awesome and we will definitely be coming back. - Shaye - 1/19/2025

Fantastic resort. The people are so friendly and helpful. We definitely plan to go back because we had a wonderful time. - Richard - 5/03/2023 

The Beaches and Dreams experience was excellent! Everyone was great. Amanda at the restaurant was great, Keith was very accommodating, and our guide Victor was a superstar (clearly very knowledgeable and fun)! 10/10 recommend Beaches and Dreams, and the excursions: The Garifuna experience, reef snorkeling, and the Maya/cave tubing. - Adventure46706580899 - 7/15/2023 

I do not have one negative word about Beaches and Dreams. I love the small quaintness of the resort but has all the amenities and then some that you could need. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. Our room was spotless, and the mattress was comfortable. The beachfront was amazing and so close to the rooms. The food was fabulous. I ate fresh seafood for lunch and dinner every single day and it was prepared different each time and equally as delicious. They have plenty of other options too, I just prefer seafood. All the excursions we did were wonderful. I liked the fact that the boat for some of the tours is on site. The staff is better than any I've experienced. I don't want to leave anyone out: Miss P, Amanda, Ben, Birdman, Armando, Victor, Savannah, Floyd, Kamike, Floyd and Keith. This is not counting all the people who were behind the scenes.
