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.

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 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.

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

We came here for our honeymoon, and not going to lie, I had pretty high expectations. And ALL of them were surpassed. It’s a very small resort, and everyone there knows your name by the time you leave and everything feels so personal. The owners picked us up and gave us a tour of the place when we got there (they were awesome), and the staff, where do I even begin?! The staff was AMAZING! All of the guides and drivers for the tours are local, and a majority of them have some connection to whichever tour they’re bringing you on. I felt like we got a lot of local perspective on everything. They were all also very nice and kind, willing to answer any questions, resolved any inconveniences (which were next to none) immediately, and I really cannot say enough good things about the amazing staff. Everything felt incredibly safe, and the food and drinks were absolutely incredible. Our honeymoon was everything I’d ever dreamed it would be and more. If you’re considering coming here, go ahead and reach out to them right now because you will have the best time of your life!read less - Nicole

The staff at Beaches and Dreams go above and beyond. They are friendly, caring, helpful, hard working, and make a great team. The owners are down to earth, thoughtful and there for you when needed. I would recommend this place for all lifestyles, ages, and travel.
I recommend you bring more than plenty of bug spray and immediately apply it when arriving and continue every 2 to 4 hours.
If you do an excursion I could recommend so many! Just know your limits and ask questions about how far or difficult a trail could be. The only thing that didn't seem worth it was the river fishing after rainy season. Otherwise it would be great for fly fisherman.
DO NOT ignore the cute town of Hopkins. Plan to spend a few afternoons exploring and getting to know the people of Hopkins. I recommend seeing Alex for true Belizean gifts. Ella's has an AMAZING fresh lobster. Nice Cream has the best ice cream in the world. If your craving and missing american style did go to drift wood pizza. They have everything to help your craving. Don't be afraid to talk to the locals. They can give you advice and little secrets to make your stay better.read less - Leanne

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.

Making arrangements and planning excursions was a Caribbean breeze as Ryan and Melissa helped us with recommendations and suggestions. (Ryan is very responsive when contacting him with questions or concerns) We booked a cabana(knowing it didn't have air) and enjoyed Belize as God would have intended. We loved the intimate setting of the resort and got to know a lot of the people who make this resort really work! Everyone is very friendly and one would almost feel guilty because of how accommodating everyone on staff is. This resort does not refer you to an adventure tour company to book excursions. All of the excursions we took were guided by the staff of the resort. All said, We had a wonderful, worry free escape. We will return. Moreread less - Matthew

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!
