Small-scale & casual, Hopkins Inn offers romantic, affordable, and decidedly low-key accommodations. Our intimate and unpretentious beach inn reflects our philosophy that true luxury is in life's simple pleasures.
We returned and will stay there every trip!Fabulous Owners, Fabulous Inn; Fabulous village; Fabulous part of Belize!💜👏🏼👏🏾😁
We were exhausted, we needed to rest snd we needed a clean and cozy place to lie our heads and relax. I also wanted sand, sea and coconut trees; he wanted a charming village to explore.
The Hopkins Inn offered all that and more!
We visited in January / February 2020 where we lucked out when the super cozy honeymoon cabana was available. What a delightful find! We went right back there in July 2021, choosing Hopkins as our seaside, centrally located stop because of the Inn. We scheduled to stay a while the last time in the seafront cabana (but all of them are fabulous)
The owners are so kind, laidback, and fun, but also knowledgeable, caring and accommodating.
And did I mention the wonderful coffee, and assorted fresh fruits and breads served every morning? Or the fresh juice served in the coconut? Or the purified water available 24/7??
Yes, there are bigger and flashier places to stay in Hopkins, but do you really want a generic experience when you can have 5 star authenticity and comfort?
We have travelled all areas of the mainland the bigger Cayes; you will not find a better place to stay in a better village in a better location - and this compared to Placencia, Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye/San Pedro.
I cannot say enough good things about Hopkins Inn - or did I just?? 💜
WOW! Thank you to the amazing review. We are grateful for guests like you that understand and appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of the Hopkins Inn experience.

This place...WOW!! Couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! True Gem in the heart of Hopkins. This property is literally 25 ft from the water! A nice walk on the beach will lead you to multiple local restaurants with wonderful drinks and atmosphere! The hosts Will & Leslie were phenomenal! Southern hospitality at its finest with complimentary drinks, breakfast, and very solid recommendations for local eats! They were kind enough to let us use the sea kayak and recommended a trip to the lagoon which was awesome! They also have a paddleboard available for use! Overall this was a 5 star experience! The Cabana was very clean and well equipped with hot water! Made use of the hammocks to take in all the atmosphere! Can't express how much we recommend this place, we hope you read this and take it all in like we did! Great place for couples and also for families! They have the space to accommodate both! Also has parking! This place has it all! We will definitely be back next time we are in town! We fell in love with our cabana! Cheers 🍻
Kindness and helpfulness abound in this clean, beautiful establishment
I do not travel much and so this was a great place to land- they are so incredibly welcoming and helped me greatly with my visit- arranging taxis, sending me to the best eating establishments, and generally anticipating my needs. Breakfast was filling and delicious. The rooms (I stayed in two- upgraded once for free!) were clean and well organized with good reading, good lighting, great air circulation, etc. Istayed here in 2016 and would stay again. Its easy to get to things in town from here, walking, and you really get a feeling for being a part of Hopkins.

What a great place to stay in Hopkins! You cannot beat the location, rooms, view, or the super friendly hosts. The location is perfectly located in center of town with lots of restaurants and activities nearby. We walked everywhere we went. Our cabanas/beds were clean and very comfortable - plus being just feet from the Caribbean, how can you beat the view? The breakfast was simple but very delicious with fresh pastries/breads and local fresh fruit. The grounds were clean and they had lots of plenty of hammocks to relax in. The hosts know everything there is to know about Hopkins and are a wealth of useful information. We enjoyed chatting with them every day and all of their advice was spot-on. While some might have issues with no AC and music playing from nearby bars late at night - but it did not bother us at all. This turned out to be our favorite hotel of our entire trip.…

We loved Hopkins Inn, and felt lucky to have stumbled across Hopkins and these cabanas. We booked the Anniversary Cabana, and it was right on the beach with a fantastic view. The breeze kept us cool during the day, and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep at night. The manager is simply lovely, and her breakfast cooking is amazing! We walked all over to various other restaurants - everyone was so welcoming and the food was great. I can't recommend this inn more highly for a break from it all!

We stayed here for one night in the Honeymoon Cabana. It was lovely and had everything we needed. Location was right in the heart of town and we could easily walk to find dinner nearby. Hopkins is not lacking in authenticity and we enjoyed being immersed with the locals. Our only disappointment was not catching any of the local drumming we had heard about. There was also a spot to park our rental car. Staff were nice and they provided us breakfast.

I was very happy with this choice for a place in Hopkins. I would definitely always stay in this northern end of town, where all the locals live, and you can walk around and see some real life. The beach here is very nice and is well maintained. There are many places to eat and shop in walking distance. The cabins at Hopkins Inn were spacious and clean and comfortable. The service was amazing. The ladies here are really lovely and friendly and took great care of us. One day we were greeted with a free coconut for each of us. The good thing about Hopkins is that it is pretty close to a lot of things to do. We had a great day hiking at Mayflower Bocawina. We also visited Maya Center and the sugar mill at Sittee River. The town itself is very quiet. We were able to organize a private transfer from here to Tobacco Caye with Happy Go Luckie Tours which was really useful for us. If you are going to Hopkins, this is a great choice and reasonably priced, not like the very expensive options in the expat area in the south. Only down side of this stay-jellyfish in the ocean for a couple of days- and one noisy party at the bar two doors down from here. I don't think that would be a regular thing though. It was really loud till 3.30 am.…

We stayed at Hopkins Inn from Feb. 23 to March 1st 2019 and it was such an excellent choice (it actually exceeded our expectations)! Cabanas are cozy, quiet and right by the nice sandy beach, with Internet access. Everything (cabanas, beach, common area) is cleaned daily and well maintained. Staff is the greatest, especially Noelia who always made sure we had everything we needed and gave us extra information about the area (you were the best!). Complimentary breakfast is always delicious and gives you a good taste of the local food. Hopkins is a quiet and relaxing small village where you’ll find a good mix of local people and laid back tourists. You’ll find various small restaurants serving mainly local food (chicken stew, rice and beans, quesadillas, burritos…) and a couple grocery stores. Our snorkeling day was great, we recommend it! Hopkins Inn definitely worth it! Ben…
