Beaches & Dreams

We had the best time at Beaches & Dreams! Everyone was incredibly welcoming and it was the best experience! Food, drinks, vibes, and excursions, you can’t go wrong here! Will absolutely be back for more adventures! - 57torih

For starters, the village of Hopkins in Belize was an incredibly kind and low-key community. It was safe and full of things to do, as well as great traditional food to try out. The staff at Beaches and Dreams was amazing. Everyone was extremely kind, helpful and personable. Being able to customize adventure tours with beaches and dreams was also a huge highlight for us. It’s a smaller resort, which made our beach area much more peaceful and private, in my opinion. The staff all knew us by name. The drinks were great, and the food at their restaurant was some of the best food we had in Belize. I would definitely return to Hopkins and stay again at Beaches and Dreams. I highly recommend this resort! read less - Becky

This resort is absolutely amazing and more than I could have ever dreamed of asking for! The cabana was spacious, clean, and right on the beach. The food was gourmet and we never had a bad meal. The drinks were tropical and delicious. The excursions were fun and knowledgeable. But the icing on the cake was most definitely the staff! Everyone there truly cares about their guests and we’re so friendly! We were unfortunate (or very fortunate depending on how you look at it) to have hurricane Lisa make an appearance on the day we were supposed to depart, however, the managers allowed us to stay in our room (free of charge) until the airport reopened for us to leave (an extra two days!). I would absolutely recommend anyone and everyone to enjoy a stay at beaches and dreams. My husband and myself are already planning our next vacation there! read less - Katy

Everything was well planned which was great because we had a lot of activities planned! It felt like home away from home for almost 2 weeks and was easy to relax, and not worry about a thing! All of the staff is amazing! Front desk, drivers, cleaning crew, servers…they all make you feel like part of the family! I could honestly go on and on about how incredible it was, but I’ll shorten to 10/10 recommend! I’ll be back!! read less - Emily

To the staff of both the resort and the Barracuda, thank you all so much for a wonderful time. Everything was perfect for our vacation. From the exciting excursions that allowed us to see your beautiful country to the fine dining and even Ruger the beach dog I can't think of a better place to spend a week. We already miss you guys and can't wait to see you all again. read less - Rick

We chose Beaches and Dreams as our destination for our honeymoon. The minute we hopped into our van with our driver, Oz, to the resort we knew our week was going to be paradise (we missed our scheduled jungle plane and Oz waited over an hour for us to arrive, still happy and up neat as ever). We arrived at Beaches and Dreams, greeted with warm hellos and an ice cold rum punch. Our expectations were already exceeded. We had no bad meal, the food was outstanding, as was every single employee through the resort. We roomed in one of the hotel rooms and it was perfect - beautiful views and a spacious room (with AC). We mixed our week with 3 excursions and 3 rest days perfectly. We felt like family to the resort and we can’t wait to return! As long as Cesar is mixing drinks you won’t leave thirsty. See you all again soon! read less - Nicole

Melanie, in the front office, arranged a trip to a clinic for our son who smashed his face on the ocean from flipping off the big dock of another resort. Dr. Valentine took great care of us. Restaurant staff were extremely accommodating, supportive and attentive to us while we were so out of sorts.

The menu is small but EVERYTHING is delicious and fresh. Definitely try the Family Lunch if available. We already miss our breakfasts and we’re sad to only have one day with the Sea Bar. Best Pizza and Kebobs!

Our drivers, our tour guides, the office staff and Barracuda gang went above and beyond for every task and request. Ruger, the 19-yr old resort dog, was a bit temperamental but always happy, and he was my one son’s favorite resort member. The local boys were my other son’s favorite people. They hung out every day.

Cabana rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable. We stayed in Scarlett McCaw and our boys in Garden Haven. Two separate rooms/entrances in one cabana. Perfect for our family. Water pressure and toilets are slower here. And that was ok once we adjusted our attitudes.

We were hardly ever in the rooms because we were busy with our adventures and being outside. Everything being arranged and scheduled for us made this experience so amazing that we are already planning our next trip.

Snorkeling, Jungle Horse, Xunatunich, Cave Tubing, Monkey River and Zip Lining at Angel Falls. We saw sharks, schools of fish, beautiful coral, monkeys, crocodiles, bats, toucans, pelicans, ruins that are thousands of years old, and the cleanest water around. We learned so much about Hopkins, Belizeans, culture and history . All of our drivers and guides were passionate.

Weather had canceled an adventure so when we begged for some magic from Melanie and Lauren. Not only did they rearrange our last two days for us but they sent us to a more extreme zip lining company snd I’m so grateful because it was the highlight for all of us. Definitely request Angel Falls if you are the adrenaline seeker. I’m not. I survived. I get motion sick and don’t like heights but Frisco and Jose made me feel so safe and comfortable that I would do it again.

We did not need as much cash as we brought. Restaurant gratuity can be added to the room. We tipped our drivers and guides in cash. Souvenirs in cash are a little cheaper but most places take credit cards.

There are shops in Dangriga Airport. You can buy sunscreen and bug spray there. We brought 4 sunscreen and 2 bug sprays. Needed extra bug spray; we had sun protective clothing and I had a neck fan.

Rent the golf cart. Go into Hopkins. It felt like the safest place on the planet. If you want other snacks, go to the grocery store. I know it might seem different to eat at only certain times when you’re on vacation but it was plenty and perfect (except your arrival travel day if you were like us - we were a hot mess that first day, and they loved on us like family).

I will be back. I see a Ladies trip in my future. read less - Shehla
