Voted Friendliest Village

By Belize First Magazine

Why do we think Hopkins is the best place to stay in Belize? Hopkins was voted the Friendliest Village in Belize by Belize First Magazine and is the #1 Cultural Destination throughout the country of Belize. Hopkins is home to the beautiful Garifuna community with a population of approximately 1,500 friendly locals. The Garinagu people originally settled on the southern coast in Belize in the early 19th century.

Experience Belize’s Afro-Caribbean Culture

Most Hopkins residents speak fluent English, as well as their native tongue (a mixture of Arawak, African, French, English, and Spanish). While many people travel to Belize in search of crystal clear waters and our untouched rainforest, the chance to experience Belize’s Afro-Caribbean culture provides for a life-changing vacation. A quaint and undeveloped fishing village, it is the smiling faces and picturesque scenery that will make your trip to Belize one to remember. People who travel to Hopkins often rave about the friendly locals who welcome people from all walks of life and enjoy sharing their history and local customs through dancing, singing, drumming, and food!

If you are searching for an authentic cultural experience, then visit Hopkins Village in style with us at Belizean Dreams Resort.
