Tough to hand such a large group that ranged from kids to retirees but this group handled beautifully providing education, excitement and humor. I think everyone agreed this excursion exceed everyone's expectations. We started the morning with a overview of the keys by boat, then our guides showed us how we kick off fishing by throwing nets for our bait. We then spent some time trolling for big fish letting a couple get away but finally reeling in a barracuda. With limited trolling poles and so many wanting to fish we switched tactics fishing along edge of reef. Everyone that wanted to catch a fish did and at a few points we had 3 or 4 fish on lines at one time. In only a couple hours we caught more than 20 keepers (mostly red and yellow snapper) and several throwbacks. Our guides were so helpful in teaching the young one's and helping everyone with such enthusiasm. After fishing we stopped at a laid back island for a chicken lunch then headed our for group snorkeling where Steven did a great job keeping tabs on everyone and pointing out different highlights. We headed back late afternoon where they cleaned our fish for us and sent us back with enough fish for a great evening dinner on the grill. I highly recommend this...

If you're looking to avoid any type of crowd try this small & cozy hotel. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The room seen in the picture is the family suite.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The room seen in the picture is the family suite. It also comes with a day bed to sleep one more person. The beach is beautiful and clean. The staff is very friendly. Hopkins really is a very small quiet village. You can walk nearby to restaurants & bars. The menu here is very limited. Other than that I really enjoyed our time here. read less - 842tanyat

The pier on the property is so inviting to watch the moon rise over the ocean and to have a romantic dinner! The staff are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable, from the drivers who chauffeur you to and from adventures to the bartenders to the owners. The food was exceptional. Each night there was a fresh seafood pasta, a catch of the day and a grilled option along with a complete regular menu. The cabana rooms were tidy and conveniently located to beach and restaurant and bar. The adventures were well thought out, reasonably priced and very memorable. We did snorkeling, a jungle river cruise, zip lining, cave tubing and Mayan ruins exploring. We loved the prepay package - just needed small bills for tipping. Met all our expectations and then some!

This is the cleanest place we have ever stayed in Belize. Had the most amazing view of the moon rising over the sea. All the staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Didn't realize they had no TV but spend lots of time walking beach and sitting on porch watching water. Loved watching Ruger the dog with all the guests. Plan on coming back anytime we have opportunity. read less - Paradise494434

Ryan quoted us with everything we needed to stay including ground transportation, food, & drinks! This made it much easier to plan our vacation. Everyone here is down to earth and extremely friendly. We ate at the Barracuda Restaurant pretty much every day and evening. The food was amazing and the specials were so good that I don't think we ever even ordered a regular menue item. There is so much to do in this area of Belize and all of the adventures can be booked right through the office at Beaches and Dreams. We we're able to go SCUBA Diving, fishing, snorkeling, & a hike to Antelope Falls. You could also take the bikes or golf cart for a spin and check out all of the local places. read less - Patrick
