Overall it’s a wonderful place to vacay. Family oriented , quiet and very tranquil looking out towards the dock. Majority of staff members are friendly and professional. These individuals should be commended on their work ethics . Lucas, Will, Jerry, Greg, Andy, Alex, Emory, Pow ( Tony) Patty( kitchen), Ceejay, Vernita, Shantel, All the chefs, Denfil, and Erwin just To name a few. There should be a reward system in place for these staff members who go above and beyond their roles in a professional and courteous manner. . The only major issue that became very problematic was a staff member - a beach hand, who maintains the beach area. His name is Jonathan A.K.A Hilberto . He is a con artist he befriends single women, lies about his age and martial situation, all to scam guests out of their money. Watch out for him. He’s done this before. He’s very manipulative and cunning, which makes his stories very convincing. He’s been fired from the resort before, only to be rehired . I hope and pray BELIZE COLLECTIONS DOES NOT HIRE HIM FOR THE 3rd TIME. Other than that one staff member, the resort is a place where you can go and relax on the beach , drink by the dock, pool and front lobby bars. The menu has been revamped by the resorts pristine chefs where you can dine at the paddle house restaurant in the main lobby , have Don Tonitos delicious stone oven baked pizza near the pool bar or enjoy ceviche by the dock bar. Additionally , One can expect to see - Upgrades at the resort. These upgrades are done frequently onsite of the resort to maintain a modern feel that fits within the Belizean culture. A new adventure/ activity centre to accommodate guests with excursions needs . Hopkins is a quaint little village. Great people, food and entertainment, it’s worth the trip down to Belize.
