Because of the smaller size, we really got to know the employees and the other guests. One of my friends hurt her back while there. Melanie in the office called the local pharmacy to ask about a back brace, but they didn't have any. So, Melanie had her husband bring hers from home which she sold to my friend. Wow! That's genuine customer service. read less - Jo

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

My boyfriend and I came across Beaches & Dreams through a Google search and booked pretty quickly. We were a bit nervous as we felt we booked a little spontaneously and wondered if more research should have been done. However, upon arriving we quickly realized we had found such a gem and knew instantly we would be coming back throughout our lives.
We stayed in The Garden Room, which is one of the beach-front Cabanas, had the all-inclusive package and had booked three excursions (1/2 day Fishing, Monkey River and 1/2 day Snorkeling). We felt this was a good amount of excursions as we wanted time at the resort as well to relax, use the amenities and chat up the staff.
The cabanas were wonderful. Very spacious and clean upon arrival, with cleaning services happening throughout our week-long stay. Although there was no AC, we felt very comfortable as the beach offers such a breeze and fans were provided in our room.
The excursions exceeded all of our expectations. Fishing was insanely fun and the weather was perfect. We kept three fish and that night the chef even prepared our best fish for us FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS. We felt that excursion led into the whole night. Monkey River was wonderful and a great way to see more inland areas of Belize. We saw so many animals and felt it was a great cultural experience. Snorkeling was incredible - They make sure you feel comfortable in your gear before going out to two different snorkeling sites. I always felt safe and the views were incredible. Our guide even caught lobster while we were there, which was then served to us for dinner that night. Again - what a full day experience!
The resort is so quaint and beautiful. The beach was always clean and there are so many amenities to keep you busy if you do not have an excursion booked. But, truly what made our experience was the staff. You could not ask for kinder, funnier, warm-hearted individuals to spend your week with. Shoutout to all of those who made our trip what it was (Oz, Darnell, Laren, Armondo, Amanda, Flyod, Kimike, Bird, Milky, Ben, Cesar, and those working behind the scenes) - We cannot thank you enough!!
We escaped from reality for a week and we are already planning our next trip. There are not enough words to encapsulate how highly we think of this resort. The drinks and food were out of this world! There isn't a single thing on the menu that we wouldn't order twice.
Thank you for providing such hospitality, offering white-glove service, fine dining and a personable staff. We can't wait to be back! read less - Cassandra - - Abby2777

I love the small quaintness of the resort but has all the amenities and then some that you could need. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. Our room was spotless, and the mattress was comfortable. The beachfront was amazing and so close to the rooms. The food was fabulous. I ate fresh seafood for lunch and dinner every single day and it was prepared different each time and equally as delicious. They have plenty of other options too, I just prefer seafood. All the excursions we did were wonderful. I liked the fact that the boat for some of the tours is on site. The staff is better than any I've experienced. I don't want to leave anyone out: Miss P, Amanda, Ben, Birdman, Armando, Victor, Savannah, Floyd, Kamike, Floyd and Keith. This is not counting all the people who were behind the scenes.

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 - - Emily

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
