Hopkins Bay Resort

RATED #1 FOR BEST VALUE IN HOPKINS VIA TRIPADVISOR

Ideally situated at the edge of Belize on the Caribbean Sea, stay in the heart of the cozy Garifuna village of Hopkins. Voted friendliest city in Belize, Hopkins is known as the real Belize. If you want the authentic experience in Belize, welcome home.

The real Belize has a way of bringing out the real you. Your best you. And Hopkins Bay knows how to make sure you enjoy every minute of it. From well-appointed one, two, and three bedroom accommodations to multiple pools and complimentary activities, you’ll love your new home away from home.

Perfectly located for Belize’s best adventures. There’s jungle for your inner hiker and inner zipliner. There’s reefs for your inner snorkeler and flats for your inner fisherman. There’s waterfalls for your inner rappeler and ancient Maya sites for your inner explorer. And don’t forget, the Rhum Shack for your inner piña colada drinker.

Daredevils and beach bums rejoice. They’ve taken care of all the little details standing between you and your next “ooh” and “ahh”. The hardest decision you’ll have to make at Hopkins Bay Belize is which palm tree you’d like to swing on a hammock from at the end of the day. Belize can’t wait to meet you.

Hopkins is a small Garifuna village on the coast of the Stann Creek District in Belize, known as the “coast with the most” in Belize. The village lies south of the town of Dangriga, where the closest airstrip is located. It is considered by some Belizeans to be the cultural center of the Garifuna population in Belize.

Hopkins welcomes visitors with warm hospitality and a safe environment. Hopkins was recently voted “The Friendliest Village in Belize” by Belize’s First Magazine. The village boasts a rustic local beach vibe with many mom and pop restaurants, small bars, and gift shops. Over 1000 residents live in Hopkins and work in fishing, farming, and the booming hospitality industry.

Hopkins Village is separated into two main transects; the Northside (Baila) and the Southside (False Sittee). It is surrounded by the Maya Mountains and the Cockscomb Range inland, and the Caribbean Sea on its shore.
