Almond Beach Resort at Jaguar Reef

Our first trip to Belize and everyone at Almond Beach made it a great one. The room 50 feet from the beach was great. The Paddlehouse restaurant had great local foods. We made reservations at other places but nothing compared to the Paddlehouse. The wait staff were all top notch. Ceviche at the Big Dock Bar was great too.

Joseph took care of us and checked in on us all week. Very attentive and helpful. Went on a chocolate tour and made chocolate the Mayan way. The tour and our guide, Cippy, were fantastic. Captain Larry kept us smiling and laughing all week.

We want to come back but we may have to split our next trip up to try other Belize Collection Resorts.

Our stay at Almond Beach Resort was amazing! The staff was top notch! A special shout out to Brandon, Larry, Greg, Edgar, Jerry, Priscilla & Brenden!! Our room was absolutely beautiful and we had everything we needed. Take advantage of renting a golf cart and go to the village. Lots of great food and great people to meet.

What set this resort apart was the amazing staff. We ate every meal in the dining room and Nincy, Richard, and Leo took such good care of my sister and me. They were friendly and attentive and had good recommendations for food and activities. The host Joseph made sure we had everything we needed and Alisha the adventure guide helped us book a fun snorkeling trip and golf cart rental to zip into town. I had a beachside bungalow that was beautiful and very private. I would highly recommend the entire experience!

Our family was at resort for my sisters wedding. They did great excellent job accommodating over 30 family members.
Service was 1st class
Julio kept all plans mom track
Kayla was wonderful hostess
Victor, Brandon Anderson and Leo great waiter and bar tender
Captain Larry was awesome

We spent 9 amazing days at Almond Beach in a private cabana on the beach. We were greeted by Priscilla and Julio at the front desk for amazing welcoming drinks. We then were greeted by Kayla from guest services for a resort tour. She also checked in on us every day to see if we needed anything. We had Jerry who was an amazing bartender at Charlies’s pool bar. He always met us with a smile. Our other favorite bartender Victor took care of us at the lobby bar. The staff was all amazing and welcoming including Odalys our house keeper and Theo head of security. The resort is very clean, the food is great!! We felt safe at all times and well taken care of.

The resort is incredibly. Beautiful. Kayla is delightful - always checking on you and greeting you.

Greg arranged the best tours custom made for our time frames. We enjoyed the ATM caves, the monkey river trip with a local guide Jeremy Garbut.
In the evening Rina Bolonowner of mayaway shuttle and tours was a great driver and guide!! He connected us with a wonderful guide who seemed to have super vision- spotting so much wild life!

And Larry is very friendly!

Right from the start, Priscilla and Tyrique at the front desk made us feel totally welcome—they’re so friendly and helpful with everything. We also got to meet Captain Larry, and you can really tell he cares about everyone’s experience; his hospitality is just next-level. As for the adventures, make sure you book a jungle night hike with Mario Chaco. He’s a total pro and found so many cool things in the rainforest that we definitely would’ve missed without him. Our snorkeling trip with Tyrique and Captain Alex was a highlight of our trip; they took us to some stunning spots on the reef and made the whole day a blast. When you have some downtime, definitely grab the free kayaks and head out on the water for a bit—it’s such a chill way to spend an afternoon. If you’re heading to Hopkins, stay here; the people alone make it worth it!

This was our second stay at Jaguar Reef and definitely won’t be our last. Friendly service, great location and the beach is fantastic! In June, while the islands and Placencia had serious sargassum issues, we had very little. Dolphins and manatees right in front of the room! Hopkins village is within walking distance, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Golf cart rental is quick, easy and reasonably priced.

Captain Larry is an absolute GEM!! Lucas at the dock bar will take care of you too. Alfredo (Benny) kept the pools and the hot tub nice and clean. Leo at the Paddle House took great care of us too!

I givs Jaguar Reef a 5 star review because of Captain Larry. He was extremley nice and was always so positive. Captain larry made this vacation welcoming and the best I've ever had.

Kayla was a wonderful host when we first arrived. Capt. Larry has been an incredible staff member during our stay - he is the captain of hospitality😁👍.

Very happy from the night we showed up at the hotel. Front desk people were friendly and helpful.(think her name was Kayla) Ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Had dinner at the paddle house and food was good. Leo the server was attentive and helpful with the ins and outs of Hopkins. Room was beautiful, spacious & clean. Beachfront view was gorgeous. Grounds were very well kept. Had morning chats with Deon the grounds keeper from our balcony. He's a very nice and professional person. Really nothing bad to say about the stay so far, maybe either then the bed being pretty creeky.Just a wonderful experienced

Our stay here was wonderful! The food and drinks were great and our room was amazing with the ocean just feet away. There were even manatees swimming near the dock on some of the days. All of the staff were always friendly. Priscilla at the front desk was always very helpful with anything that we needed. Captain Larry also always made sure to ask if we needed anything when we saw him. Everything was great and would recommend anyone to stay here, especially if they want to get some good relaxing in.

Excellent place to stay!! Everyone made you feel like family from the moment we arrived to when we left. Don’t think twice about booking here. Manatees, barracudas, and tarpons off the dock for those seeking to view aquatic life.

We stayed at Almond Beach @ Jaguar Reef for our honeymoon in early November, and I can't imagine a better experience. Miss Kayla gave us an incredibly warm welcome, made sure we had everything we needed, and helped make our experience truly special throughout our entire stay. Thank you, Kayla! Plenty of outings were offered, and Elishia and the rest of the team at the concierge desk went well out of their way to help us book and schedule additional excursions with qualified local guides. We'd also like to thank Chris and Shameika for making my first-ever snorkeling trip so fun, beautiful, and memorable. The food on-site was exceptionally good--special thanks to Andy for the great service at Paddle House, and to Greg and everyone else on the Big Dock team for all the wonderful drinks, ceviche, and great conversation! The complimentary bike rentals made it really easy to spend time in the village for even more great food and unforgettable memories. Our room was beautiful and clean, with everything we could've needed. I'm so glad we came here, and we can't wait to come back soon!

This has been an awesome trip for my wife and I. It was our first time to Belize and we are so impressed with all the wonderful people. Staff at the resort, like Captain Larry, the beach captain, are always so kind. He’s always happy to see everyone and so energetic. He’s given great restaurant recommendations and other helpful info. Greg and Elisha in the tours office have also been great. When they weren’t able to offer the tour we wanted (slow season so we didn’t have anyone else interested in going to meet the minimum participants) she reached out to another small tour company who was willing to take us the very next day. Others around the village are also friendly, everyone often waving hi to each other or shouting greetings. The resort is very nice, but not too fancy or pretentious. We ate at several different places (here, other resorts, and in the village) - and everything has been great! The food at the Paddlehouse has always been good and well priced (it’s a little high for some things but it’s very reasonable for a resort option). I hoping to be back in the future.

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful resort, great food. So relaxing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Jasmine, Kayla, and Priscilla at the front desk were so great. All the servers and bartenders were friendly and helpful.

Our 3rd .time here. Should say enough!

Shout out to Allll bartenders- Greg,
Dude at Dock Bar (has baby boy) and the competitor repping you all in El Salvador! All were phenomenal!

Ok- and let’s get to brass tacks. The service here is like no other! Cippy will drive you while sharing his unending local knowledge, and the ladies and gentlemen serving in the restaurant are like no other.

Finally- Captain Larry. Oh Jesus- if this dude doesn’t make you smile ‘mama’, go home with your sad and negative self!

Just go ppl- we could go anywhere… and we go here! Over n over…

My husband and I came to Almond Beach resort as the second to last stop of a 3 week long trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We reserved a room right on the ocean. It was perfect! The resort itself also had great amenities from the Dock Bar in which we did happy hour to the pool and the wood fire pizza. The staff at the resort were all super helpful and friendly, especially Captain Larry who gave us great recommendations for a few things to do during our short stay in Hopkins. We enjoyed the resort (and Hopkins in general!) so much we are already trying to find a time to come back for another visit to the resort.

My husband and I had such a great experience at this resort. The resort was so beautiful and the staff were beyond friendly. We felt welcomed by EVERYONE from the moment we walked in—including the front desk/check-in (Jazmin & Tyreek) servers/ bartenders (Charles & Jerry), security and grounds keepers (Elroy & Larry). It was slow season and we felt like we had such personalized service, made positive connections/ friends, and almost had the resort to ourselves. 10/10 would go back!
