Two Resorts, One Team
Two Resorts (and one Village) for the Price of One
Jess and I took over Beaches and Dreams back in 2017 and turned it into one of Hopkin’s premiere all-inclusive resorts. In 2022, we took over a beloved, but hugely dilapidated, old resort a half-mile up the beach and proceeded to pour everything we’ve learned into it. That creation, Cabana Village, opened in December of 2025.
Rather than run them as separate resorts, we decided to run them as one property with a shared team and amenities for all our guests, so no matter where you sleep, you get the same experience. We also now include six of our village’s best restaurants in our all-inclusive meal plan, so the whole village is now yours to explore. And to make this easy, we created our “Cart Pass” plan which provides shared acess to our golf cart fleet as well as a free shuttle running the 1 mile circuit between both resorts and the village.

We had the best week at Beaches and Dreams. We actually stayed at the sister hotel Parrot Cove Lodge but were part of the inclusive package at Beaches and Dreams. All of our check in, tours, and included meals were at Beaches and Dreams and we had full use of their amenities. It has been said many times in these reviews, but I first need to mention the wonderful staff at Beaches and Dreams. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were part of the family. Thanks to everyone that made my family and I feel so welcome. From the first emails with Darnell and Laren I knew this was the place for us. The front office staff, Ben at the bar, Amanda in the restaurant, Oz/Victor/Keith on the driving and land tours, and Kimike/Floyd/Anthony on the marine tours were all so knowledgeable and kind to our family. We had an action packed week which is just what we wanted, but did enjoy 2 days of free time. On our free days we relaxed on the beach, enjoyed the small but clean pools, played beach volleyball, and rode the free bikes into the town. The town of Hopkins has much to offer and we enjoyed our time visiting shops and restaurants ( Nice Cream, and J&J cool spot), and even playing mini golf. For adventures we did a waterfall hike, ziplining, barrier reef snorkel, barrier reef fishing, Mayan ruins tour, and cave tubing. We loved being able to experience Belize and to learn about the history of the country and the people. The area and hotel are very chill and we enjoyed walking the beach and the dock after dinner each night. My family can not wait to come back. Thanks again Beaches and Dreams.
