Fodor's Expert Review The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

At Hopkins' original upscale resort, Jaguar Reef's original whitewashed duplex garden and beachfront thatch cabanas is supplemented with newer colonial suites with local artwork, salt-tile floors, and custom-made hardwood furnishings. Although the beach here is good (for Belize), there's a nice pool with swim-up Tiki bar. Meals are served in a beautiful glassed-in beachside palapa with a soaring ceiling set off by locally made basket lights.

Jaguar Reef offers frequent summer (July-August) web-only specials.
