Wonderful, friendly staff, excellent food at the restaurant, clean comfortable rooms. We did part of our stay at Hopkins Bay and I will say that although the price is comparable, the service, cleanliness, and comfort are superior at Jaguar Reef! The food at the restaurant is much better and overall there is just a happier vibe.

Jaguar Reef, just okay
The stay was nice and the pools were great. Bartenders were friendly and drinks were good. Our room was old and dated but our friends room was very nice. The curtains were very visibly dusty in our room. I wouldnprobably not stay there again as there are better values for money in the area. Restaurant was very overpriced, so we never ate there.

We are return guests to The Colonial and have always loved our stay there. This time we had a leak in the ceiling of our room that caused little discomfort. With reporting it to the reception the following day we were offered a different room. Their service is always exceptional.

Lovely spot
We had booked 5 nights at The Colonial and were upgraded upon arrival to a spacious well appointed room at Almond Beach with a panorama view over the main pool and Caribbean Sea. The Lodge at Jaguar Reef comprises an attractive mix of accommodation along a well kept sandy shore a mile or so south of Hopkins. It has an ambiance of calm and exclusivity. Snorkling tour to the reef and adjacent islands well executed; food good with options of local restaurants nearby; friendly and helpful staff. Only criticism was an aged mattress on the bed which Customer Services promised to get to grips with. But hey, Belize is a classified 3rd World country and as things go, accommodations don't get much better than this!

This resort was amazing! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Captain Larry introduced himself on day 1 and greeted us by name the rest of the trip. He showed us how to sail a hobby cat and answered some questions about Hopkins. We were treated like family and friends! I highly recommend the resort! We stayed in colonial one night and the lodge the other nights. Both are right next to each other and share the same amenities. Both were excellent!
