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 3pm 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 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 reservations@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 main road for about 2.5 miles and you’re home!
We visited with a group of friends and family to celebrate my 50th. Beaches and Dreams has exceeded our expectations. We are a group of mixed ages and abilities. The resort easily accommodates this variety. The relaxation opportunities are wonderful from lounging to massages to floating in the pool. The opportunities for the more adventurous range from caving to hiking and are breathtaking. The tour guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.
Now let’s talk about the staff — or should I say “family” — who work at beaches and dreams. They are wonderful and might even be the best part of the trip. The people are genuine and happy. They are so welcoming and we just felt close to them. They know all of our names and even the bartender knows our itinerary.
I cannot say enough about the employees but an extra special shout out to Ms. P and Ben. Ms P is WONDERFUL. Aside from being a fantastic waitress, she is obviously a WONDERFUL human. She chatted with us in a manner that was genuine and real. I absolutely love her and hope to see her again. Ben is more reserved but his smile lights up the bar. He’s a great bartender and took care of all our special requests. He worked extremely hard while we were visiting and had a smile on his face.
I’m getting long winded so some other helpful details: beds good pillows and towels. Plenty of water in the rooms, small refrigerator, ice outside rooms, nice seating area, great solitary places to relax and great group places to relax.
We loved our Beaches and Dreams vacation and highly recommended.
