Hopkins – Strandleigur

Daniel Belís

Great hotel, staff and location. Lovely pool with beach and ocean right there. Near center of Hopkins but very quiet and safe. Apartment was like a nice little two bedroom flat. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment on food. Overall excellent place to stay.

Best hosts/property managers ever!

Ann Belgía

comfortable room, a bit small but all you need is there. Good mattress, water, coffee, free bicycles.

The room was a total winner, neat, clean and had everything we could have wanted. It was like a home away from home. The location was ideal and we enjoyed the privacy on the beach.

My family & I were treated like family by the owners Peggy and Harold. They are the ultimate hosts, very attentive and kind We enjoyed our stay immensely. Our visit was to explore nature, hiking, waterfalls, and to learn about Garifuna culture. The rooms were very clean and well equipped for a quick breakfast/meal and to recharge after a day of exploration. There was ample coffee, sugar, creamer, fridge, and a toaster. Each day we had fresh beach towels and clean mugs, plates, and cutlery. The location is excellent, a stone's throw to Hopkins beach and several resorts where you can spend a day and/or eat at the restaurants or other nearby restaurants. There was even happy hour at the Jaguar Reef resort which had spectacular views. If you want a more local vibe Hopkins Village is an easy 15 min walk, or short bike/taxi ride away where there are several stores and restaurants. My family and I highly recommend Cosmopolitan; it was excellent for our needs.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped, hot shower, spacious bedroom (Room 1). Our host Christie could not have been more attentive, and on the occasion that she was off duty, the housekeeper lady was very helpful. Local Mayan cocoa farm Che'il (where Prince William and Kate visited) accessible by local bus - highly recommended. Enjoyed Thongs Cafe on seafront. Cycled to Rhum Bar at Hopkins Bay Resort (north) and enjoyed drinks/eats at reasonable prices. Super bakery - bright pink door, on the way out of town south.

Fabulous location and the staff went out of their way to fix the AC when it broke. The kitchen was great allowing full self catering. Loved the bongo drums from the beach cafe next door and watching the young kids practice their moves

It was an oasis. So beautiful and inspiring. The buildings on the property felt like an extension of the eco-culture grown and built from the land and in relation to the land. The cabins were so comfortable and gave me what i needed. Access to the kitchen, the spiritual centre and the drumming space was generally granted. I felt like i was home away from home. Uwahni was an excellent host—a true visionary living and sharing the richness of the Garifuna culture. Mr. Eugene was an excellent resource as was Uhwani—who provided me with what i needed learn more about my root culture. Rooted is a good word for this place. It’s rooted. Real and comfortable. The paddle ride over to the island was so special. It felt like i was sequestered but able to move freely once i got used to kayaking. Uhwani was so generous with her knowledge—always willing to help and share practical and inspiring pieces of knowledge. I never felt like i was too much trouble. It was easy to book day trips out and to different sites and even to book off the beat and track activities. I also took part in the cultural classes; cooking, drumming, coconut picking, enrichment about historical and social context of the Garifuna people etc. What an experience like

Enjoyed my stay at Caribbean Shores. All staff were very nice and helpful. Christina (Property Manager) couldn't be more accommodating. Not only she moved my reservations due to a flight delay with no charge, she has been very helpful to book and provide best advice on tours, activities, transportation and places to eat. Breakfast was always ready and fresh for the time requested.
