Jaguar Reef Wins!

Wonderful, friendly staff, excellent food at the restaurant, clean comfortable rooms. We did part of our stay at Hopkins Bay and I will say that although the price is comparable, the service, cleanliness, and comfort are superior at Jaguar Reef! The food at the restaurant is much better and overall there is just a happier vibe.

There is no sign for the colonial at jaguar reef. The lodge, the colonial, and the almond are all on the same property but there’s only a sign for the lodge. You have to check in and park at the lodge at jaguar reef for these hotels. Very clean, very friendly, beautiful beach set up!

Wonderful beachside resort

Loved our stay in the Mahogany beachfront suite. The hotel grounds were spotless and the staff was always available for anything we needed. Enjoyed lunch in the main restaurant and had a nice dinner at the pizza restaurant. Tried to get ceviche one evening but they were closed at 7:10 despite a posted closing time of 7:30. Kayaks and a sailboat are available for guest use and we found them to be in good condition. The location is a bit out of town so you need some kind of transportation if you want to leave the resort. We used the complimentary bicycles to go to Hopkins Village during the day but the bikes are not an option for dinner as they have to be back by 5pm. We would stay again.

Beautiful ocean views and location like no other. The rooms were ok. The food choices were ok, but need improvement. It was hard to get a pizza from the pizza oven resturant on site - it was either incredibly long wait times or closed too early in the evening. Overall, the prices were steep and, though a very nice facility, it was not a great value.
