Wonderful beachside resort

Loved our stay in the Mahogany beachfront suite. The hotel grounds were spotless and the staff was always available for anything we needed. Enjoyed lunch in the main restaurant and had a nice dinner at the pizza restaurant. Tried to get ceviche one evening but they were closed at 7:10 despite a posted closing time of 7:30. Kayaks and a sailboat are available for guest use and we found them to be in good condition. The location is a bit out of town so you need some kind of transportation if you want to leave the resort. We used the complimentary bicycles to go to Hopkins Village during the day but the bikes are not an option for dinner as they have to be back by 5pm. We would stay again.

There is no sign for the colonial at jaguar reef. The lodge, the colonial, and the almond are all on the same property but there’s only a sign for the lodge. You have to check in and park at the lodge at jaguar reef for these hotels. Very clean, very friendly, beautiful beach set up!

Beautiful ocean views and location like no other. The rooms were ok. The food choices were ok, but need improvement. It was hard to get a pizza from the pizza oven resturant on site - it was either incredibly long wait times or closed too early in the evening. Overall, the prices were steep and, though a very nice facility, it was not a great value.

Jaguar Reef Wins!

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.

Problem solved

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!

this is an ideal property for families, couples and solo travelers. i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at jaguar reef. there are several properties next to each other - the lodge, the colonial and almond beach resort. it is directly on the caribbean sea and the beach is well kept. the staff are warm and welcoming. they are very helpful, someone is always around and they are super genuine. the only mark against the property is lack amenities in the room. there is a coffee machine and a filtered water (BONUS!) but the bathroom is lacking in bath supplies (only basic soap, shampoo & conditioner), no bath robe, no slippers etc.

The room was beautiful and the bar over the sea was nice. The check in was horrible. We arrived at the hotel at 6 pm and was told the room was not ready for use imagine that. The receptionist told us the room would be ready in 30 mins reminder check in time is at 3:00 pm. I asked why and was told Expedia is a third party agent and so the information has not reached their desk as yet and the room needed to be cleaned. Went and checked on the room as it was already 1 hour and told "it's only been 50 mins". We ended up waiting 1 hour to check in.
