We stayed in their treehouse, which gave the kids a room to themselves. It was hot but with the fans we stayed cool enough. Service was outstanding, friendly, and helpful. It is a simple resort that offers much adventure and relaxation. Thanks to all the staff!!! - Wander112671

My husband and I chose Belize for our honeymoon and we were more than pleased with the resort we chose!! The excursions available were great!! We saw so much...the crocodile night tour with the bioluminescence was out of this world!! It was an experience like no other and one that we would highly recommend!! The Mayan ruins, Xunantunich, were incredible. And every tour guide was full of so much knowledge! We really learned so much about Belize, the culture, and their history!! Of course, fishing and snorkeling are a must do when in such a beautifully tropical place!!! Our guides, Jeremy and Steve, knew all the great spots to stop which allowed us to see such a wide variety of sea life while snorkeling!!

We stayed in a cabana suite which was perfect. Going to sleep with the sea breeze while listening to the sounds of the tropical birds was perfection!

The food was so well prepared and absolutely delicious!!

And of course we can’t forget to mention how friendly and wonderful the staff was!!! Francine, Birdman, Milky, Armando, Caesar...I’m sure I’m forgetting some and I apologize but you guys were awesome!!

The memories we made will last for forever and we cannot wait to make a return trip to see more of this beautiful country!! read less - Jewell

The owners, Ryan and Jessica, have been kind, welcoming, and wonderful. They have made an effort to get to know us personally over the time we’ve been here. The resort is small enough that it’s not long before you’re on a first name basis with all the staff. The property is right on the beach, with beautiful sunrises every morning. Both me and my family have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and I highly recommend Beaches and Dreams to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation spot in Belize ☀️ read less - Liam

Everyone was so accommodating to our requests and ALWAYS had a huge smile. We had issues getting down there which changed our arrival date but Miss Jess was so very understanding and was able to adjust our schedules and dates of our stay on the fly. This is the place to stay if you're looking for a more personalized visit to Belize. I have to give a huge shout out to Lincoln for our fishing trip, this guy knows his waters! We were on the fish the whole trip! We caught enough fish to not only feed our family but everyone else at the resort as well! Also a shout out to Kmike, who took us snorkeling on the reef. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. He even helped me catch a lobster for dinner! Which by the way was the BEST lobster I have ever eaten! Kudos to the chef! BIG WISCONSIN THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT BEACHES AND DREAMS! We definitely will be back...maybe without the kiddos next time..LOL. read less - Tammy

The owners are expats from the US who have been here for 1.5 years. I didn't have any interaction with Ryan, half of the couple, but had plenty with Jessica, the other half. She is very customer-oriented, so she made a point of mixing with the guests to answer questions, provide suggestions of where to go for shopping, ice cream (!), great tours for special interests, etc. The resort offers use of its bicycles, paddle boards and kayaks. Golf carts are available for rent, as is snorkeling equipment. The restaurant is wonderful. It is an open-air structure with a roof. The views from the restaurant are of the gorgeous ocean, the dock and beach. Service is excellent, as is the food. Our regular waitstaff included Armando, Cesar, Miss P, and Birdman. Our favorite was Armando, with his quiet sense of humor and eagerness to ensure that we had what we needed. A breakfast buffet is available in addition to an a la carte menu. The buffet includes a main dish, breads, a variety of juices, coffee, tea and a magnificent assortment of ripe fresh fruits. Lunch options include sandwiches, salads and burgers. The restaurant has the best french fries I've had in a very long time. They are thin, crisp and salted perfectly. The dinner menu has something for just about... We were a group of 11 family members who stayed here for Christmas and to greet the new year. The owners are expats from the US who have been here for 1.5 years.

Lunch options include sandwiches, salads and burgers. The restaurant has the best french fries I've had in a very long time. They are thin, crisp and salted perfectly. The dinner menu has something for just about everyone. Each evening offers a tropical drink of the day. There is a daily fish or seafood, a grilled meat and pasta special. Given sufficient notice, the kitchen is able to accommodate special diets such as gluten-free. This was particularly important for our group because one of our members requires gluten-free options. She often got the pasta special because the kitchen was able to offer rice pasta.
One of the tours which departed from the hotel was the half-day snorkeling adventure. The cost of the tour includes beach towels, snorkel equipment and some fresh fruit as snacks. The tour leader, Steve, was terrific because he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He led the group to various areas where we could see lots of fish, areas which were sandy vs. having lots of sea grass, and pointed out fish and other sea life.
Accommodations are varied. There are hotel-style rooms in the main building, cottages with 2 separate 1-bedroom units, and a treehouse. A small pool is available on the back patio, where you can also enjoy the view of the ocean. A volleyball net is set up at the back of the beach, only about 20 yards from the water, and ready for guests and locals to enjoy lively games.
Since our stay was 12 days long, we were able to get to know the staff and take advantage of the various services and equipment offered, including hammocks and beach chairs.
