Throughout our stay, the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were so clean that my boys (who don’t clean their room until my head spins 360) actually commented on how clean the staff kept them. The staff and owners’ friendliness make the guests feel like family. If you want an authentic feel to your stay, connecting with the staff is easy as they are funny, like to converse, and even will play volleyball with the guests. Several mixed staff and guest volleyball matches erupted, even during our short stay. They are knowledgeable, share their customs, and are very open to answering questions about Belize’s diverse culture, history, and traditions.
The excursions are not to be missed, although I suggest leaving a day between excursions to enjoy the resort and visiting the village of Hopkins.
We can not wait to go back for another fantastic time at Beaches and Dreams!!
Thanks to everyone!! More read less - 220tonip

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...

My husband and I went with another couple and we had a fun relaxing adventurous time. It’s the slow season right now and it was just the 4 of us for most of the 7 days we were there. Food was great and drinks were abundant. A bit disappointed in the dessert options BUT we mentioned it to Milkie, our waiter, and next day we had cheesecake! Oh, and the bugs were bad at times SO when they say bring deet bug spray DO IT! We had a blast in town at the Driftwood bar hanging with locals and listing to some drums and reggae music. We had a great time and will be back. Shoutout to these great people - Ryan, Jessica, Francine, Pauline, Oz, Keith, Birdman, Caesar, Milkie, Fredis, Stevie, Jermey, and Manuel. I may have missed a few as I didn’t know their names but basically all the staff was awesome! And of course Ruger the dog 🐶 and Smith the cat🐱! read less - Sherry

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

It was truly a wonderful experience! The location is simply gorgeous and the staff couldn't be more accommodating. From the moment we arrived via the "jungle plane" hop from Belize international to Dangriga airport where we were greeted by our personal driver the service was exceptional! Less then an hour later we were checked in and the owner Ryan Jansen provided us a tour of the property. Everything was coordinated for us including all of our excursions. We were guided through Mayan ruins, had a horse back ride in the jungle, a tour of the local Chocolate factory and scuba diving. Everything was handled by the staff and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! If we needed anything all we had to do was ask. We even had roof top massages after busy days and they were so relaxing. I highly recommend you consider this resort if you plan to go to Belize. You will not be disappointed! read less - stevecraigsr

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!
