We flew in on a Sunday and left on a Saturday. The resort is beautiful and the people there are so kind and pleasant. We took the puddle jumper to Dangriga from the Belize City International Airport. Very pleasant ride on the small airplane (do not be scared) and they pick you up at the Dangriga airport and drive you through Hopkins to the resort. Very easy and straightforward transportation to resort. Also easy to get back. If you want to rent a car you can also. Roads are fairly good and they drive on the same side as the United States even though Belize is a former British colony. – TripAdvisor user
