“Puddles, Potholes and Best Johnny Cakes Ever”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2011

We stayed in Hopkins for three nights. Hopkins Inn was easy to find, and as it is in near the middle of the village, a good spot to explore from. This inn is owner-operated and very well run. The cabana was clean, the bar fridge was much appreciated and the plumbing worked fine, which is a real bonus in Belize. Our stay coincided with a rainy cold front, so other than the quick dip in the ocean on the afternoon of our arrival, no swimming for us. We explored the village by foot and as the main road became a quagmire in the heavy rain, we rented a golf cart and splashed through puddles and met many locals who were friendly and liked to explain what they did for a living. We bought johnny cakes straight from the outdoor oven from Miss Gail's, a warm treat on a cool day. While the weather was cool, the people were warm, and Hopkins Inn was a secure, central home base. Sleep quality was rated low because of neighbour's rooster, but heck, just about everywhere we stayed had a wake-you-up-way-before dawn rooster. All in all, a good stay and good spot to explore from. Recommended.

“Can't recommend Hopkin's Inn enough!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The Hopkin's Inn made our entire Belize trip. Rita and Greg are fantastic hosts who do everything possible to make your stay perfect and provide endless information for trips and excursions. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, the location and beach are pure paradise, the breakfasts are fantastic, and Hopkin's village is such a friendly spot and authentic in everyway. We would not hesitate to make a return visit to Hopkins and to Hopkins Inn and highly recommend the Hopkins Inn to anyone visiting Belize.

“Quaint and Relaxing...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2009

We choose to stay at Hopkins Inn for our Honeymoon. We wanted to experience the village as well as have some quality alone time. The cabana was right on the beach. The breeze from the ocean was amazing at night. Who would have ever thought I could be without internet and television. Well I didn't miss it at all. Every morning Rita brought us our breakfast, we had great talks with Rita and Greg. It was a pleasurable experience. I have vowed to return regularly. The locals were all pleasant and friendly! The taste of india resturaunt next door was delicious! I am glad to be one of those people who could enjoy the simple life!!! Beach, Hammocks, Fruits, and Fish!!!

“Wonderful Inn with intelligent, helpful owners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2009

people found this review helpful

We stayed for two nights at Hopkins Inn the last week of June 2009. I was somewhat apprehensive because I knew there was no air conditioning and that the weather would be hot. Rita was great in helping me decide if it would work for us. As it turned out, we loved Hopkins Inn. With fans and it's beach location, it was comfortable. Rita and Greg were so helpful in their recommendations for restaurants and local guides. Amazingly, there was an excellent Indian restaurant right on the beach next door to Hopkins Inn. Rita and Greg lined us up with wonderful guides for snorkeling and a visit to the rainforest. After a several day visit to a nearby Island, we were ready to come back to Hopkins Inn but they were already booked. It was a great vacation and we highly recommend Hopkins Inn. If resorts are what you like, this may not be for you. But if you like to be in contact with the people of the country, with comfortable, clean, and basic accommodation located feet from the ocean with a wonderful view, intelligent and helpful owners who appreciate and know the country, this is the place for you.

“WE LOVE HOPKINS INN!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2008
5
people found this review helpful

If you are planning a trip to Belize, it would be a terrible shame not to include HOPKINS as a part of your visit. The people in Hopkins are so genuinely kind and friendly. 4 in 5 people will greet you when you are walking down the street.

Hopkins Inn was our favorite accommodation in all of Belize. We highly recommend Hopkins Inn over the way more expensive resorts which are quite far from the actual center of town. Greg and Rita were incredibly helpful and served an amazing breakfast of warm breads, cheese, preserves and fresh cut fruit. We loved sitting on our verandah and looking at the lovely Caribbean sea.
What a deal for $60 bucks a night! Also, be sure to eat Indian food at the restaurant next door and to hang out at King Kassava's in the town square.
