We had the best vacation! Visited: December 2008 Posted by marilyn We all loved every minute of our stay here. Belizean Dreams (though a dumb name) was very, very nice. We had our own home, practically, as you probably saw in their photos. All the walls facing the ocean were floor to ceiling wooden sliding doors. The ocean breeze fluttered the curtains, and created the perfect temperature. The rooms were nicely furnished and very spacious. We were glad we ended up here. It was the lap of luxury, and not the other way around. Dave and the girls snorkeled with a guide one day, and I just laid around and swam in the pool and read, read, read. The next day, Dave and Holly went fishing with a guide and brought back lots of fish which the kitchen cooked for us along with side dishes. It was our favorite meal. The town of Hopkins Village was literally nothing but tiny, crumbling buildings and pitted dirt roads. The restaurants recommended by Fodors were part of someone's home or porch, and were a bit off-putting at first. The little shops were just the porch of homes, too. As we were finishing our delicious meal at Innie's the first night, the girls said that no family they knew - or for that matter any family in Glenview (not true) - would have walked into the place. They liked that we were interested in trying the unusual, I guess. I do think the snorkeling options were probably better farther north near Ambergris Caye, but the remote location of Hopkins was worth it. The staff here was exceptionally friendly and helpful. All the guides were knowledgable and very personable. Thank you so so much for such a pleasant stay. 7 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? They offer "supposed" relaxation. Visited: October 2008 Posted by dolsul It was advertised as being relaxing. Not if you make the unknown mistake we, and 15 other guests, did. One of the owners invited freinds and family for a birthday party for his wife. He hired a DJ to set up in the restaurant and bar in middle of common area. It sounded okay to us. Then we were told we were not allowed to use the bar, restaurant, or pool from 6 pm on. Resort employees actually walked perimeter of party to keep out party crashers. Other guests were told to basically order room service and stay in villa. The party went on at full volume with people thrown in the pool (screaming), and the DJ at full blast until 3:38 am. Guests who requested to have party toned down were honored for about five minutes. Then, music and yelling were back on. Resort employees answered " sorry he is an owner". Three nights later, the bar house music was cranked way up and people were being thrown in pool again unil after midnight. We got no consolation offer from resort. Neither did any of the other guests I talked to. This is not always a relaxing resort. Beware! 11 users found this review helpful. 5 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? This was a dream come true! Visited: October 2006 Posted by lag2 My wife and I were fortunate enough to stay at Belizean Dreams the last week of October. The weather was perfect, and we could not have had a better time. Belizean Dreams was a new Luxury Villa Resort between two other resorts. Belizean Dreams was - by far - the most luxurious, pristine and quiet in the area (and perhaps Belize). The property had a large infinity edge pool near the beach, and a new pool bar opening soon. Each of the villas was huge with three king bedrooms and three bathrooms. You can select which space suits your needs and book accordingly. We chose the two-bedroom villa, as it had a very nice granite kitchen and large living room and deck. It was more space than we needed, but the price was affordable so we took the extra space. The people at Belizean Dreams were exceptionally nice and eager to help us with any needs. The concierge visited us in our villa throughout the day to check on us, and everyone on the staff greeted us with a smile and a "hello". The hotel was steps away from two other resorts with good restaurants and lively bars. Hopkins Village was about a mile away, and Belizean Dreams will provide transfers - or you can ride one of the resorts bike. The people in the village were very nice, and the entire area seemed very safe. The diving and fishing were amazing, and the concierge selected the perfect guide for us. Everything that we would want to do was close by, and yet Belizean Dreams seemed away from it all. It was quiet and very luxurious, especially for Belize. We look forward to returning. 127 users found this review helpful. 3 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?
