Very nice accommodation in the center of Hopkins.
Blue Moon Cabana is as described in its online advertising. Very well kept with no mechanical issues. Also well provisioned with kitchen equipment and other necessities. It is not resort-like. You are in the center of the town, You will have lots of contact with the local residents. We found them to be very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again if I were to return to Hopkins.

Ocean breezes and views
Gorgeous location right on the beach. Cabana was very clean and tidy. Zero issues with critters of any kind. We visited the week of some of the hottest temps on record (last week of March) and were nervous about the lack of AC. The ocean breezes and ceiling fans worked great for keeping us cool. Loved the big porch and spent most of our time there. Host was great about providing check-in instructions well ahead of time and was gracious and responsive during our stay. Cabana is in Hopkins proper, so we definitely got a feel for the local setting rather than the more polished tourist version. Easy walks to well-stocked markets, dinner options, and Thongs Cafe next door had great breakfast and lunch food.

Beautiful kid safe beach right out your front door! Great location, really cool little house, and Mirko can organize anything for you. The only downfall is 4am karaoke from the bar next door, but that only happened on Friday and Saturday, and if I hadn’t been travelling with my children, I might have gone over for a song.

Great little hide away!
Had a great time and it was a great place to simply unwind and relax. Had a few issues with noise from the little place to the north but the complementary ear plugs were greatly appreciated. Great location close to shops and restaurants and the kitchen is nicely equipped if you want to eat in. It was a little warm with no air but the sea breezes made for some comfortable nights. Would surely stay again.

Thank you for the feedback, Howard. We are pleased that your stay with us was overall a pleasant one. There are many conveniences to staying in the heart of the village such as the stores and restaurants being in close proximity. Unfortunately, one of the cons in that on occasion, there is noise pollution from the neighbor. But we are glad that the ear plugs were effective in that regard.

Stay at Blue Moon Cabana
We loved staying at Blue Moon Cabana. The location is excellent for walking around Hopkins as well as for activities outside of the village. Mirko was exceptionally helpful for scheduling tours and accommodating our last minute changes. He definitely made our trip very easy to plan. The house itself is well kept and exactly what we were looking for. It definitely gave us the authentic belizean trip we were looking for. The view is exceptional! I really appreciate the staff for accommodating us and helping us for the last few days of our trip.

The place has potential, but…
From the pictures it seemed perfect, but it turned out to be a disaster. 1. They had rats. There were rat droppings everywhere. The night we realized there were rats, one of the rats jumped on the bed with my friend, scaring the crap out of us! 2. someone stopped by the first day we were there to essentially “spy” on us. That made me very uncomfortable. And from that visit the property owner messaged me to tell me I had one more person than on the reservation and that I needed to pay an extra daily rate for the person or they would terminate my stay. This person was rude and I did not appreciate the delivery. 3. There is no AC. This place was just hot the entire time except for the nights it rained. The fans did not help. I would not recommend anyone to stay here nor would I stay at this place again.

We are sorry that your experience was not a pleasant one. However, the minimum rate covers 2 persons and for any additional person there is an additional fee. This information is stated both on the website as well as the booking sites. So, when you showed up with more people that you booked for, we addressed this. Because not only does it go against policy, but these undeclared persons are not covered by the liability insurance of the accommodation. Secondly, in the 'amenities' section of the booking site you can see that this property has no air conditioning. As it relates to the heat, well, this is the Caribbean. Third, the property is fenced, and we have no control over what happens on the public beach in front of the house. The beach is for everyone to enjoy. If someone had trespassed beyond that point, you could have contacted the host about this. Lastly, as much as we clean and exterminate, once every few years a critter slips past us. Additionally, since this is a vacation rental and not a resort, there is not staff around to remind guests to keep doors closed at all times even if they are on the property. Nevertheless, the critter was captured in a live-trap and you also were compensated for this inconvenience.

Great beachfront cabana!
Our family of three stayed here for our time in Hopkins. The cabana was well appointed, great location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants. We jumped in the sea every morning after our breakfast and loved having the beach as our front yard. Happy hour each evening on the veranda was so relaxing, as was falling asleep to the waves. The neighbor on north side of cabana plays radio at night so if that would bug you use the earplugs provided. We also had an issue with a critter joining our vacation (village life!) but was easily remedied with a live trap, which the host reimbursed and it did not put a damper on our trip. Mirko was easily reachable and helpful in arranging a snorkeling trip/day at South Water Caye with a boat, captain, and guide. Would definitely stay here again!

Fun beachfront cabana
This was the perfect place for my wife and I, and our eight-year-old daughter. Located close to some good restaurants, and the beach out front is perfect. Somebody comes regularly to clean the beach and rake the sand to keep everything tidy. Patio is great for hanging out, and the cabana is cozy and inviting. Would definitely come back.

Sounds of the ocean: ultra-peaceful!
The place is right on the beach so you fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean and/or rain on the roof. Hopkins is low-key, great food, plenty of opportunities to do stuff or just lie around. We did both.

Keeping it Real, Staying in the Village with the locals
This was our third visit to Hopkins but our first time to stay in the village, not in a resort. It's a much more authentic experience. We enjoyed not having, or needing, a car or even a golf cart. Blue Moon Cabana is a short walk from two grocery stores, an ATM, a dozen fun restaurants, and countless produce-and-souvenir stands. We loved swimming on our own little stretch of beach, hanging out on the sand, enjoying the ocean view from our back porch, and walking to late breakfast and early dinner every day. We slept with the windows wide open and all the fans going - A/C is not needed. We had occasional passing rain showers that roared on the metal roof! Great for sleeping in this beautiful and clean little Mahogany bungalow!

Views
The view was wonderful. We had our windows open the whole time to allow for the beautiful breeze to come in. The house had everything we needed. The only draw back is that you cannot park right at the house. We had to drag our luggage through the sand. It wasn’t far, just didn’t realize it doesn’t have its own way to get to it. We would definitely go back again

Practically Perfect
First: Mirko was great to work with. He met us personally at the property upon check-in and check-out. Great communication before and during stay. Second: The location of Blue Moon Cabana is fantastic. We could walk to restauarants and grocery stores and were literally ON the beach. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the moon rise over the ocean every night. Third: Mirko and his team thought of practically everything. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything we needed. Then there were the little things like a first aid kit, coozies, clothes line pins, a cooler, coffee filters, bottled water system, books on Belize, even a yoga mat in the house. There were a few items: condiments, coffee, sugar, oil, seasonings, sunblock, aloe, lotion, bug spray, etc. that I'm sure were left by prior guests but came in useful. Mirko had fresh coconuts from the property ready and cooling in the fridge upon arrival (and we got more a couole days later) which made perfect mixed drinks of coconut water, rum, and pineapple juice (not as heavy as a pina colada) We moved to another area of Belize mid-week. Upon checking in my boyfriend said it was not nearly as good as Blue Moon Cabana.. Highly recommend. Next trip if we don't stay at Blue Moon specifically, we will definitely look for Mirko's properties to book.

When I was looking for a place to stay I wasn't quite sure of what I wanted, but I knew that I had to find something that my husband could get into the ocean any time he wanted. This trip was a surprise for him so he didn't know anything about Blue Moon Cabana until we got there. It was perfect. We loved it.

Beautiful beach front cabana. Near constant oceans breezes through the house. A great place to stay if you want to soak up the local culture. Bed are comfy and kitchen is serviceable.

Great location!
Mirko was great helping me with everything! He helped with our flight from Belize Airport to Dangriga, shuttle transportation from Dangriga to Hopkins, and our fishing trip with Patrick. He was always available when I had a question, and even came over right away when the coffee pot broke with a new one. I loved the location of Blue Moon Cabana, within walking distance to the grocery store, atm, and restaurants. The veranda was the best. We spent a lot of time out there on the hammocks. The cabana had everything we needed and was very clean. The breeze from the ocean keeps the cabana at a very comfortable temperature. We enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Hopkins. We can't wait to come back and stay at Blue Moon Cabana.

Awesome
Stayed for 18 nights at Blu Moon Cabana and had a great time. The location of the cabana is perfect since it is right in town so there are many places you can walk to and to go to the south end is only a $5us cab ride. As everyone has said before there is no need for AC since the wind blow constantly off the sea so it’s always cool in the cabana. I won’t go on repeating what everyone else has said but I will mention the rooster and the sand flies. The rooster is a pain. Crows at all hours of the night until it’s throat is too sore to caw anymore. If there was a rooster assassin in Hopkins he would have had work. The sand flies are an itchy pain. Like everywhere with sand and sea they are there. Make sure you bring bug juice in the form of a cream. That’s the answer and spray does very little I will give my rating on the restaurants we attended. Jalapeño- 8 good tacos and pub type food Geckos - 8 great local food Driftwood - 8 great pizza and drumming Tuesday and Saturday nights Peers - 7 foods was good but server was grumpy Innes - 5 food was ok but slow , drumming great Jungle Jeannie’s- 5 food was ok but really weird atmosphere Hamanasi - 10 food was fantastic with really cool restaurant...little pricey Lucky Lobster - 9 food was good, great atmosphere, great service Loggerheads - 8 great burger and ice cold belikins La Trattoria Romana - 10 great Italian food, bruschetta unbelievable Chef Rob’s - 10 food amazing, great atmosphere, little more expensive but worth it Curve Bar - 8 good food and service, put the hockey game for us which was awesome Mangoes beachfront bar - 7 just had nachos but cool bar out of the way in the south Coconut Row - 8 good food, rum punch a must Thongs - 9 great breakfast spot All in all the food is great with many choices...do yourself a favour and go to Hopkins, stay at the Blu Moon Cabana and enjoy the wonderful people and great weather as well as the many things to do in the area Thank you Mirko for all the things you did to make our stay spectacular...we will be back

Great location and view
This is in walking distance to everything. Great view and beach in front of cabana kept very clean. Ate best food on trip here in Hopkins. A couple of screens should get replaced but, other then that place great. Can be noisy at times at night with rooster and birds but, we were prepared for that. We would stay again

Everything as promised!
Excellent location and very comfortable accommodations. We’d planned on seeing a bit more of the countryside, but it was very hard to pull ourselves away from the beach and hammocks. Our boys were exhausted every night from playing in the water.

Thank you so much Nathan. There is definitely something magical about kids and the ocean that can't be explained until you've been there. Hope to see you again!

The perfect home away from home in Hopkins!
A beautiful cabana in the perfect village location! Mirko was very helpful and check in/out was a breeze.

Best house in Hopkins!
We love this property so much! Great location, fantastic beach, and a truly wonderful host. This was our third stay on the property and we will absolutely be back again and again. I would leave 10 stars if I could.

We enjoyed the property. It was perfect for a family of four.
Mirko was kind enough to have a delicious birthday cake made and delivered for our daughters 18th birthday. Property was clean and had everything we needed. Only downfall was the rooster in the neighborhood, obviously the owner doesn't have control over that.

Thank you for everything, but there is nothing we can to about the rooster, Hopkins is a Village and thats how people live here, we have no control over that!

Great spot
Mirko was very accommodating, took care of us very well and made us feel at home, not just in Hopkins, but he booked everything for us in Belize including internal flights which made things easy. The unit was great, clean and well appointed. Loved the porch, very relaxing. The people in Belize are very friendly, an eclectic mix of many cultures and ex pats. The following minor issues are for information, not complaints. Keep in mind we are in our mid fifties so maybe a little set in our ways: - Two double beds instead of a queen or king which was not ideal for us. - Beaches around Belize have a lot of sea grass and garbage, our place was raked regularly, but not many people go in the water from the beach. - You need the provided earplugs at night. The roosters, dogs and tropical birds around are mostly drowned out by the plugs, but they start early and may affect light sleepers. This spot is ideal for people who want to get the real feel of living in a small Belize town. Thanks for all your help Mirko, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you very much for the review and all the details. The sea grass is due to currents in the Caribbean, and every few years can pile up. And the rooster . . . anybody got a good recipe?

Absolutely brilliant place to stay with one drawback
This is a charming and comfortable place to stay with the well-groomed beach and the ocean view it can't get any better. The in-town location makes it easy to walk to the store or many restaurants. Also, it is the only place we stayed on our trip that has consistent hot and cold water in the shower and great pressure. The place is well stocked with almost anything you could need. So down to the major drawback and that is the Rooster which we nick named “Nuisance” He lives behind the property and has an amazing talent for crowing between the hours of 2 am and 7 am. Being in town there are certainly other noises but nothing compares to Nuisance. We found ear plugs thoughtfully placed in the nightstands by the bed which do a great job of drowning out all the noise including the ocean sounds but not the Rooster. With the ear plugs the Rooster was the only thing we could hear so that didn’t work out so well. So as great a place as it is we would not stay there again unless that Rooster was on our dinner menu. Final advice where ever you stay is bring plenty of insect repellent and sunscreen. We didn’t run across many mosquitoes but we found that Sand Flys are pretty common most anywhere there is Sand. Final comment is that like other reviews say lack of AC wasn’t an issue with the ocean breeze and great fans. The one advantage however to a place with AC is that having everything closed up does drowned out a lot of noise which might have solved the Rooster problem.

Thanks for the great review. We'll work with Innie's to see if they can feature Rooster on the menu soon.

Location was great. Cabana was clean. Big issue was the 1 AM rooster crowing outside our window.
The cabana was clean, airy and worked great for the two of us. Mirko was responsive and available. Being 25 steps from the Caribbean Sea was wonderful. Hearing the waves went we went to bed was great. Being in town and able to walk to the store, fruit stand and restaurants was a huge benefit. But being in town meant that 3 of our 4 nights we also heard the rooster directly outside our cabana start crowing at 1 AM. The crowing continued until after the sun would rise. Ear plugs didn't work. Hopkins Village is a wonderful place to visit. The people are very friendly. There is a variety of food choices and it is very good. But Hopkins isn't a clean and pristine vacation spot. There are several/quite a few properties that have trash strewn on their property.

Thanks for the great review. You are right, Hopkins is authentic Belize, with all that entails: beautiful beaches, friendly people, and the everyday local things that go with village life. Hope to see you again soon!

Paradise
Our first trip to Hopkins was in April of 2017 for our 30th wedding anniversary, we stayed at the Blue Moon Cabana and fell in love with the village. We took the plane in from Belize City and rented a golf cart from Mirko and just enjoyed the village for the entire 8 days we were there. We returned home and couldn't stop talking about our experience in Hopkins and how we found a little piece of paradise there! Mirko is awesome and does a great job ensuring you have everything you need from the moment you land in Belize City. If you are looking for a low key relaxing vacation, with village culture and music Hopkins is a great place for this and was exactly what we were looking for last year. Because we loved it so much we decided to go back again this year and took friends along with us. The Blue Moon and the Baby Blue were perfect for the four of us. With the Blue Moon up front it makes for the perfect gathering spot on the deck and beach for being together, while providing the privacy of having your own space. We set up a snorkeling trip with Mirko on our last full day at the Cabana's and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone that books with Mirko, no matter what property you are staying at that you book this adventure! It was a private boat, not a group adventure where you are out with 20-30 strangers and the hustle and bustle to get everyone in and out of the water...We loved Captain Jack and Vanessa! While there were a couple of bumps getting started, nothing major... we didn't get picked up on the beach by boat as expected but the drive over to the Marina with Patrick was cool too! Patrick was very friendly and got us where we needed to be! The overall experience was one that will never be forgotten! Our friends had never experienced snorkeling on a reef, Vanessa did a wonderful job of teaching them, guiding them and ensuring they had a wonderful experience. Both Captain Jack and Vanessa were knowledgeable and informative during the entire trip. And the best thing was they let you go at your own pace! Once again, we have been captivated by this village, the people and the experience and love it even more and can't wait to go back again!!! Thank you for everything Mirko :) We look forward to seeing you again next year!! Sherri & Mike

Best view in Hopkins!
The perfect location! Extremely well maintained and comfortable. Walking distance to everything you need. Blue Moon couldn’t have exceeded our expectations anymore. We didn’t want to leave.

Fabulous
We loved the Blue moon cabana. Mirko and Annette went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We went on two excursions arranged by Mirko. The fishing/snorkeling was absolutely fabulous and the bio luminescence was amazing. Unfortunately unseasonably wet weather limited the inland excursions. We hope to go back.

Thank you for your great review. We're so glad you got to experience the bio luminescence while snorkeling, it's truly spectacular. Hope to see you again and hopefully the weather will cooperate for those inland trips!
