Getting to Beaches and Dreams
Learn about traveling to Belizes’s best all-inclusive resort on the closest beach to reef, jungle, and Maya adventures.
YOUR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT
We’ll handle everything once you arrive at Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), but you’ll need to book your international flights. Here are a few helpful hints:
- As you can see from our map, you can get direct flights to Belize from 19 cities and 7 countries.
- Many direct flights are only on Fridays or Saturdays, so be sure to check with your airline.
- Expedia.com is a great way to check all the airlines at once, but SouthWest Airlines often has deals, and you’ll need to use their website directly.
- Our jungle plane to the resort leaves every hour, but you’ll want to arrive by 3:30pm to clear customs in time to catch our last flight.
BY JUNGLE PLANE
If you’ve let us arrange your air transport from Belize city, get ready for some fun! Once you exit customs with your bags, you’ll see the Tropic Air checkin desk. Just walk up, tell them your name and that you’re with Beaches and Dream and you’ll be treated like royalty! They’ll take your bags and direct you to the local terminal where you’ll get on the next available jungle plane (they leave hourly). The flight is approximately 20 minutes. When you arrive at our local air strip, one of our drivers will be there to escort you to the resort.
BY GROUND TRANSPORT
If we’ve arranged this for you, one of our drivers will greet you with a sign with your name on it as soon as you’ve collected your bags and exit customs. He’ll take it from there and drive you the 2.5 hours from Belize City to the resort!
BY CAR
We hope that you’ve allowed us to arrange transport here for you because driving a car here in Belize is expensive and not particularly fun (please just let us know if you’d like us to arrange transport for you by writing Ryan at ryan@beachesanddreams.com)! The good news however, is that there are only a few roads in Belize. The road to Hopkins is just off of the Southern Highway, 14 miles south of the Hummingbird Highway. Once you get to Hopkins Village, just head south on the dirt road (that’s currently getting paved) for about 2.5 miles and you’re home!

The room was super clean. The service is wonderful. The view was amazing. We live in central Florida so we are used to the heat, humidity and bugs. I highly recommend taking bug spray and using it a few times a day along with sunblock. The adventures were the best! The jungle plane was an adventure as well. The guides were so knowledgable and friendly...Mike, Oz, Milky. We did snorkeling, hiking, and the Mayan ruins. The massage at the end of the trip was perfect! The pool was so refreshing. The really great thing about Beaches and Dreams is that is not so over crowded. We enjoyed the pool alone and another time with a couple. You can rent a golf cart and go into town. Make sure to stop by and purchase something from Alex. He has handmade jewelry and wood carvings. Stop by Nice ice cream and enjoy so really great tasting ice cream. I would love to see beaches and dreams add some live music even if it's for an hour each evening. 🙂 The food was omg so tasty and fresh. The watermelon smoothie amazing.

The two recommendations I have is for customer service. If someone has not paid the balance or replied that they received an itinerary, I would recommend checking in with them maybe with a phone call to make sure they received the email. It was a bit stressful at first realizing they send out itineraries 2 weeks before your trip and I didn't receive one (yes, I checked my junk folder), but with that being said, we didn't have any issues. I had called at the airport and the gentleman at Beaches and Dreams was helpful. My other is to have a smoking area for smokers. It didn't affect us, but I know our friends were getting a bit annoyed with the smell going in their room. My only negative, I know ugh, was that the dog peed in the sand and that was a bit gross for me. The people downstairs did stay up partying late one night so remember people are on vacation and may want to have a good time. I'm not sure if they have quiet hours but book your trip with beaches and dreams and have fun! The people work hard and it's hot so remember to bring cash for tips and souvenirs. 🙂 We hope to return!
