We loved Belize, the people, the resort, and all the folks we met. Milke, Armando, Birdman, the morning crew that served the buffet breakfast, and I don't want to forget the housekeeping staff, and the guys that relentlessly raked the beachfront. Steven, Jeremy, Brian, who drove us to the Mayan Ruins.... such a beautiful experience. Jessica and Ryan were great hosts, friendly, accommodating, and so gracious and helpful.
Thanks to all of you for making our first time in Belize a sensational trip. I will be back❤️. Gayle Gerth, White Bear Lake, MN. read less - Gayle

We chose to stay in 2 rooms for everyone to have space and they were perfect. We had plenty of food and drinks on their all-inclusive plan. But we were most impressed with the quality of the food and the ability to accommodate our dairy and gluten allergies with ease and without any issues. It is a relief to have people act like it is no big deal and then to do excellent food as well.

We used paddle board and kayaks and bikes at no extra charge. We rented a golf cart to explore a little farther around town. The pool was nice and clean all the time.

Our favorite parts were the tours that we added to our package. We didn’t get to see the bioluminescence as planned due to rain but they even rescheduled us on new tours that very same day to replace it. Every tour we took was great and would be impossible to pick a favorite. The whole staff at the resort was kind and attentive and always helpful. More read less - melody_nell6

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

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. More read less - Matthew

There were 16 of us in all, with a lot of teenagers. The staff was amazing, including one experience that went so far above and beyond expectations that it was almost like a scene out of a movie. My wife lost her wedding and engagement rings on an expedition in Placencia (they fell out of her purse, where she had put them for safe keeping while putting on sunscreen), and we didn't realize it until hours later when we were back at the resort. We assumed all was lost, but Keith (who wasn't even on our expedition) asked about the next day and uncovered the rings, and he and Primrose negotiated their heroic return (we got them back 5 minutes before we had to board the plane in Belize City for the trip back home).

Even without that epic saga and their heroic feats, we loved this resort. The kitchen and bar staff were patient and kind with our large group, the guides were helpful and amazing, and the expeditions included stories we're still telling friends about. We cannot recommend this resort enough! read less - Kevin

We chose Beaches and Dreams because of it's small size (11 rooms, I think), open-air on-site restaurant with available all-inclusive package and a good reputation on Trip Advisor. Because of the pandemic, much of Belize's tourism and destinations were closed. However, the resort had opened a few weeks before our trip with just a handful of visitors. That meant it was super-easy to remain socially distant while enjoying ourselves. We were pleased to meet Ruger the dog and Smith the cat. We were very happy with resort staff- Armando, Milky, Josie, Pauline, and Birdman. Everyone treated us kindly and with just enough attention so that we were not left waiting/wanting. Taking into consideration the need for an adjusted daily menu, I felt our food options were great. Our food came out exactly as ordered, even if they were adjusted from the menu listing. The wifi worked well enough for us to "work" and attend remote classes. The beach was clean, and furniture well-maintained. The only complaint I would have is about the sand fleas- which I hate to "complain" about because they're natural and not necessarily anyone's fault. But please prepare for them if bugs love you- I thought my DEET would take care of all bugs...but no. The sand fleas are apparently very special. You need to use...

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
