Hi!
If anyone knows much about Hopkins, especially the availability of long term rentals (3-6 months), please respond. Any first-hand information about the place will be truly appreciated. For example: Are the beaches as good as they say? Is the bottom of the water covered in weeds? Is food readily available, like meat, other than frozen? Are there many non-Belizeans living there? If you can assist, please E-Mail me, but in the subject line, put "about Hopkins" or "about Belize". Something like that so I don't just delete as spam. Or, you are welcome to call me with your number, and I will call you back immediately. (727-251-1874) I can't retrieve messages from that number, so if you get a recording and not me, please call back. I have tons of pics and information about the country. Our last trip was in Jan. '04 for three weeks. Rented a jeep and toured the whole place.

Hi there Molly. I also am interested in staying in Hopkins and would like same info.Have you found anything since your posting?Would like to hear from you.E-mail me at; lavenderlabyrinth@hotmail.com Anyone else with info??

I visited Hopkins, Belize, which is where Hamanasi and Jaguar reef are. I took my three children and husband. I did not intend to stay in Hopkins but when we passed through I saw the beauty and we decided to stop for the day because that was all we could have afforded at these big resorts. I ended up staying for two weeks because this lady rented us her house, which was about forty feet from the beach. The house was empty because she now lives in Dangriga. It was a concrete building
(Belizean style Bungalow) and had two bedrooms, one toilet, kitchen, refrigerator, stove, two beds and a beautiful yard with mango, orange, lemons and coconut trees. She charged us only $100US a day for all five of us combined. SO THAT WAS LIKE $20 A DAY FOR each person. We cooked our own food and saved a lot of money. That was not the end the lady’s husband is a fisherman and he took us to the islands for the whole day to fish and snorkel for $200. Hopkins is beautiful and that nice lady still has that house for rent. It was so cheap we left her a nice tip. Her email is dainagail@yahoo.com

Molly Hopkins is really nice , quiet and safe. You can rent my two bedroom beach house. dainagail@yahoo.com
