2 Bedroom Beachfront Apt at Buttonwood in Center Hopkins

The location was great, right on the beach. The rooftop area seemed really cool but we only stayed one night and didn't get to use it. We arrived after hours but still got escorted to the property and shown around. The living space was large with lots of seating. There were bicycles to borrow. The negatives were that the floors weren't very clean, the bathroom wasn't very nice and the pilly sheets.

Well managed property, easy to walk to dinner and shopping. Carrie Bow apt. was perfect for us. Kitchen equipped adequately, beds comfortable, housekeeping daily and service people (Matthew) around all day if needed. Snorkeling trip offered by Coconut Row was excellent!

The staff were ready & willing to look after everything we needed. Either Damien or Kyra dropped by once or twice a day to see how we were doing or just to chat. Mischance & Matthew were on hand for housekeeping & maintenance everyday. We were comfortable & satisfied with our apt.. Everything worked & the beds were good. The nearby grocery store & the produce market, both a 15 min. walk away supplied everything we needed if we wanted to eat in. The village of Hopkins is not a resort but a Belizean village with local people as your neighbours. Everyone was friendly & polite. Restaurants were simple & the food was good but there were no white table cloths or wine stewards. There were one or two Garifuna drumming events at night but no gathering place for evening entertainment every night. The TV & Wifi were good so we were satisfied. Most of the people we met loved it & had come back year after year but the complainers went to the resorts elsewhere. It was quiet, the beach was great & we were happy with our stay.

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of staying at the Buttonwood Guesthouse in the Aquarius room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. We could not have found a better place to stay or more wonderful people. Damian, his wife and the staff made you feel like family and were always willing to help with anything.

Everything in the room worked well including the A/C. The room was top of the line, spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, there was a soft, dreamy mattress, and was pure luxury being able to call it "home" for a few days.

The location in Hopkins made it easy to access some of the outdoor activities we wanted to do which was a plus. It surpassed all of our expectations and I would recommend Buttonwood Guesthouse to anyone looking for a place to stay. It is places like this and the people that truly make a vacation great.
