The room was super clean. The service is wonderful. The view was amazing. We live in central Florida so we are used to the heat, humidity and bugs. I highly recommend taking bug spray and using it a few times a day along with sunblock. The adventures were the best! The jungle plane was an adventure as well. The guides were so knowledgable and friendly...Mike, Oz, Milky. We did snorkeling, hiking, and the Mayan ruins. The massage at the end of the trip was perfect! The pool was so refreshing. The really great thing about Beaches and Dreams is that is not so over crowded. We enjoyed the pool alone and another time with a couple. You can rent a golf cart and go into town. Make sure to stop by and purchase something from Alex. He has handmade jewelry and wood carvings. Stop by Nice ice cream and enjoy so really great tasting ice cream. I would love to see beaches and dreams add some live music even if it's for an hour each evening. 🙂 The food was omg so tasty and fresh. The watermelon smoothie amazing.

The two recommendations I have is for customer service. If someone has not paid the balance or replied that they received an itinerary, I would recommend checking in with them maybe with a phone call to make sure they received the email. It was a bit stressful at first realizing they send out itineraries 2 weeks before your trip and I didn't receive one (yes, I checked my junk folder), but with that being said, we didn't have any issues. I had called at the airport and the gentleman at Beaches and Dreams was helpful. My other is to have a smoking area for smokers. It didn't affect us, but I know our friends were getting a bit annoyed with the smell going in their room. My only negative, I know ugh, was that the dog peed in the sand and that was a bit gross for me. The people downstairs did stay up partying late one night so remember people are on vacation and may want to have a good time. I'm not sure if they have quiet hours but book your trip with beaches and dreams and have fun! The people work hard and it's hot so remember to bring cash for tips and souvenirs. 🙂 We hope to return!

The staff has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Sadly we visited at the start of rainy season, so didn't get to enjoy their beach. BUT, the stay, food, and excursions have all been great!
Very family or couple friendly. read less - ryanbS7385MS

All of our shuttle drivers, guides, and servers were exceptionally knowledgeable, polite, and helpful, enhancing the meals, which were all tasty, and excursions. While the chocolate-making experience was fun, the adventure to Aktun Tunichil Muknal was once-in-a-lifetime and not to be missed. All of our beach days were full of sun and quiet beach time, including a visit from a friendly manatee. A fantastic place for our honeymoon, with just the right balance of activities and post-wedding decompression! read less - laurafH3534IV

Beaches and Dreams is perfect! The communication from the resort was great! It was easy to book and the owner Ryan and Melanie are quick to respond with any questions you might have. We had a change in our itinerary and they made it happen. All my sister and I had to do was show up at the time we were told and everything was taken care of. We snorkeled, we went out fishing, we went to the ATM, and ziplined. My only complaint is the trip went by so fast! Mike and Floyd took us snorkeling and fishing and we had a ton of laughs! My sister caught her very first fish, ever, and it was a friggin' Barracuda!!! And then she caught a Jack. I did not have much luck with the pole I was using but Mike hooked a fish and then let me reel it in and it ended up being a rare catch of Mutten Snapper! THEN, Floyd cleaned them all and delivered them to the chef in the restaurant and we ate them for dinner. And they were prepared perfectly! The snorkeling was really great too! A group we were with while snorkeling started not to feel very well... so Mike was able to get them to a lil island that they could hang out and then took the rest of us... Wow. Just wow.

I was really impressed with how they took care of the people not feeling well and then also making sure the rest of us received the best experience too.
We so enjoyed each person serving at the Barracuda... Armando, Milky, and Birdman all new our names when we arrived and also kept track of us through out the days. The food was sooo good and the drinks were yummy!
Mike and Floyd were amazing when we snorkeled. And they are the reason we added the fishing excursion on to the next day. That was soooooo dang fun. They made that trip for us!
Oz. I cannot say enough about this guy. From the moment he picked us up from the airport to taking us back 6 days later. He was so fun to talk to. Extremely knowledgeable about, well pretty much everything! He said he was pretty much related to everyone in the area and we tested that out... and sure enough each person we asked was some how related to him 🙂
I am hoping to one day come back with my boys and daughter in law, so they can experience this as well!!!
Thank you Ryan and TEAM!!! More read less - KentuckyGirl2020 - - Anna

We are a group of mixed ages and abilities. The resort easily accommodates this variety. The relaxation opportunities are wonderful from lounging to massages to floating in the pool. The opportunities for the more adventurous range from caving to hiking and are breathtaking. The tour guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.
Now let’s talk about the staff — or should I say “family” — who work at beaches and dreams. They are wonderful and might even be the best part of the trip. The people are genuine and happy. They are so welcoming and we just felt close to them. They know all of our names and even the bartender knows our itinerary.
I cannot say enough about the employees but an extra special shout out to Ms. P and Ben. Ms P is WONDERFUL. Aside from being a fantastic waitress, she is obviously a WONDERFUL human. She chatted with us in a manner that was genuine and real. I absolutely love her and hope to see her again. Ben is more reserved but his smile lights up the bar. He’s a great bartender and took care of all our special requests. He worked extremely hard while we were visiting and had a smile on his face.
I’m getting long winded so some other helpful details: beds good pillows and towels. Plenty of water in the rooms, small refrigerator, ice outside rooms, nice seating area, great solitary places to relax and great group places to relax.
We loved our Beaches and Dreams vacation and highly recommended. read less - Anna - - patriciagksmith

If you are thinking of heading to a tropical location, choose Beaches and Dreams in Hopkins, Belize! You won’t be disappointed! It is a small, clean, boutique resort, directly on the beach. The entire staff is 5-star worthy! Melanie, Primrose and Darnell in the office, accommodated our every need or ask, swiftly and efficiently. Armondo and Pauline in the restaurant were just plain wonderful. Manuel was our Mayan tour guide and was entertaining, authentic and fantastic! My husband doesn’t know how to swim, yet magically, Kimike taught him to snorkel at the barrier reef and Captain Floyd helped us catch 4 Barracudas plus a red snapper! Our granddaughter was totally thrilled! The restaurant chef cleaned and cooked up all our fish that night and it was delicious! The tours and adventures were like nothing I have ever experienced before. We loved every minute of it! We met some pretty cool friends during our stay and were sad to say goodbye. Our room was spotless, lovely and very comfortable, as well as quite large. Don’t think twice – if you want a vacation that will create unbelievable memories for you and your family, or significant other, book here! Beaches and Dreams is absolutely wonderful! Thanks to every single staff member for going above and beyond to welcome us and make our vacation dreams come true!! read less - patriciagksmith
