Situated on the south edge of Hopkins Village, Beaches and Dreams is a quaint mid-range option on the beach with a popular restaurant. The 11 clean rooms are done in bright, tropical decor, though televisions, phones, and air-conditioning are notably absent in some rooms. However, they do include free Wi-Fi and hot showers, and many have water-view balconies or patios. The location away from the center of Hopkins Village -- including restaurants, shops, and services -- will appeal to those wanting seclusion, though others may be disappointed at the five-minute drive into town. This is one of the more reasonably priced beachfront options in the area, but for those with more money to spend, more modern rooms are available at Hopkins Bay Resort.

Situated at the northern tip of Hopkins, Hopkins Bay Resort is one of the most sophisticated beachfront hotels in Stann Creek. The spacious 38 villas and suites provide an excellent list of amenities including free Wi-Fi, flat-screen satellite TVs, sea-view balconies/verandas, and minibars or full kitchens. They also have sharp tiled bathrooms with colorful local details. An extensive list of resort-style amenities is available, including two pools, a funky nautical-themed pool bar, an open-air Belizean restaurant, and a sizable beach that feels completely private. However, the lack of a spa and long walk into downtown Hopkins may discourage some. The similarly priced Belizean Dreams offers most of the same amenities at similar rates with a more intimate atmosphere.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Bocawina Rainforest Resort & Adventures is a beautifully rustic eco-retreat that embraces its surrounding rainforest setting. There's a distinct sense of solitude here amid the thatched-roof buildings, acres of tropical vegetation, and lush, green mountains in every direction. Each of the 14 rooms is clean and tastefully decorated with simple furniture. Televisions and air-conditioning are purposely absent in favor of only the most basic amenities -- ceiling fans, spring water dispensers, and free Wi-Fi. The persistent insect population and lack of nearby attractions may dissuade some, but many will no doubt appreciate the seclusion and activities like waterfall rappelling and Belize's longest zip-line course. While not as refined, Pook’s Hill Lodge offers similar amenities in a jungle setting for less.
