Exceptional check-in experience

Recent guests gave the check-in process a 5-star rating.
Next door to Tipple Tree Guesthouse (the managers), AJ Palms is on the beach with 3 rentals each with a separate entrance.
Almond apt is close to restaurants, groceries, and is an ideal base for tours around the area. It is located on a lovely beach with shady palms - in a Garifuna fishing village.
Hopkins is a beach village that gives you access to kayaking, snorkeling, diving the barrier reef, jungle treks, and Mayan ruins.
*Night time A/C included
*9% Belize Gov tax is collected upon check-in

The space
The Almond is an upstairs one bedroom apartment, it features a breakfast bar, stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and basic cooking equipment needed to prepare your own meals.

The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, ceiling fan, and a twin bed. The bathroom has a tiled hot shower.

Beach and bath towels are provided.

The apartment is cooled with fans in the daytime, you have a screened door (with bars) that brings the sea breeze through the apartment. At night you have the A/C.

Your spacious balcony overlooks the Caribbean Sea, which is perfect for viewing the sunrise.

Guest access
You have a separate entrance to your apartment, but the building has 3 apartments, so you will share the walkway to the beach front. You have a private veranda that is yours alone. The beach chairs are shared between you and the other 2 apartments.

Other things to note
9% Belize government tax will be collected upon check-in.

We are Gold Standard Certified. This means we are complying with the sanitizing and cleaning protocols mandated by the government of Belize.

The Belize Tourism Board requires every host to register the primary guests home address and nationality.

Licenced to offer accommodation in Belize. Licence: HOT01764

A/C use in the apt is during night hours only.
Daytime a/c can be purchased for $10US a day, but we don't think you'll need it as the breeze off the sea is usually perfect for cooling the apartment.

Travel insurance is recommended. For the majority of my guests we are an international destination. Because of the advanced planning, and the cost, you might want to consider travel insurance that covers for a wide range of situations.

Where you’ll be

Hopkins, Stann Creek District, Belize

AJ Palms is in the village of Hopkins, which is part of the charm I think, but I also know that it is not what everybody is looking for.
Hopkins is still very much a village community in a developing country, we are a village, not a resort tourist destination. Hopkins is a wonderful community with a unique Garifuna culture, come to Hopkins with that in mind, embrace a different land and culture, and you will love it.
If you are looking for an isolated, or resort experience, for your vacation, then we may not be the right place for you.
Being in the village can sometimes mean you will hear children, dogs, radios, music, chicken and roosters, and we do have a restaurant that has opened up next door that sometimes plays music, but mostly you will hear the breeze through the palm trees and the sound of the waves.

Lives in Hopkins, Belize
I am the owner and manager of a guesthouse in Hopkins since 1998 and I've managed AJ Palms Apartments since 2014. I'm British by birth, and naturalized Belizean by choice. I lived in Germany, off and on, for 10 years before moving to Belize. I am fairly good at speaking German, not all that great at writing it - but I am willing to try. I've always felt renting out my rooms and apartments is like renting out a part of my home, hopefully my guests get to feel the same way when they I host them. I'm enjoying my life on the beach.
