Hopkins Bay

Hopkins Bay Hotel is a landscaped property that puts you next to a Caribbean beach. Guests here can pick from pleasant lofts and spacious guesthouses.

This resort is a vibrant center for Garífuna culture, showcasing the heritage of the Garífuna people, who are of West African descent. This rich culture is especially evident in their musical traditions and delicious cuisine. While in Hopkins, be sure to catch a drum performance and enjoy local restaurants offering Garífuna dishes and fresh seafood. The area is home to several national parks worth visiting, including a short drive to Mayflower Bocawina National Park, where you can seek out rare bird species and witness the dramatic plunge of the Mayflower Waterfall. Further west, explore Cockscomb Basin Reserve, known for its successful jaguar conservation efforts and beautiful hiking trails. The resort is also well-positioned for arranging fishing and scuba trips around the many nearby reefs.

The lofts, located on the second floor of the main building, provide a beach house atmosphere rather than a traditional hotel feel. Each loft includes a minibar for your convenience and features a sitting area with a flat-screen TV. Private bathrooms come equipped with hair dryers and bathrobes, while safety deposit boxes are available for storing valuables like laptops and passports. If you need to touch up your clothing, the staff can assist you with an iron and ironing board.

For larger groups, the resort offers two-bedroom guesthouses with open floor plans or three-bedroom guesthouses, totaling 13,000 square feet (120 sq m). These accommodations feature high ceilings and local artwork, creating a blend of upscale and homey ambiance. Stone detailing, hardwood floors, and granite countertops enhance the inviting atmosphere.

All accommodations provide lovely views of the landscaped gardens and the beach. Each unit is equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans. Enjoy refreshing drinks from the complimentary filtered water and coffee maker in your room.

Guesthouses also feature fully equipped kitchens, complete with cooking utensils, a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and stove. For an extra treat, you can arrange for an in-house cook to prepare a delicious traditional meal. The resort also has its own restaurant specializing in Garífuna cuisine, along with a bar serving cocktails made from local ingredients.
