Three purpose built guest rooms downstairs from my home. They share a veranda with two hammocks for each room. Seahorse is an end room. We are located on a lovely beach with shady palms - in the Garifuna fishing village of Hopkins. Hopkins is a beach village that gives you access to kayaking, snorkeling, diving the barrier reef, jungle treks, and Mayan ruins. Open your room door. Step right out onto the beach. Step into the Caribbean sea.

The space
My place is great for single travellers or couples, and the sea view is amazing! "Seahorse" is a small rustic beach room (a 135sqft/12.5m2 bedroom, a bathroom and a seaview veranda). It's made from local woods in Belizean style, and built right on the sand in front of the ocean. It has a fridge, coffee pot, plates and cutlery, but no kitchen. The bathroom consists of a tiled shower stall, a sink and a toilet. A floor fan and the sea breeze cool the room. Seahorse is an end room.

Guest access
Guests have access to to the beach, and beach chairs, which are right in front of the room, and are shared areas. Two private hammocks on the veranda. The veranda is shared with 2 other rooms. And there is also a garden seating area behind the rooms, with fruit trees and orchids.

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

I built in Belizean style with products that were available to me 25 years ago. I have chosen to keep my guest rooms in that same style.

If you are looking for modern this would not be the place for you. But if you are looking to stay somewhere that really makes you feel like you have visited somewhere different for your vacation then I think this will work for you.

I do not consider my wooden guest rooms suitable for children, better suited are my more modern listings of the apartments.

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 can cover you for a wide range of situations.

I am happy to have guests stay for Christmas, but please ask me first about check-ins or check-outs on Dec 25th or 26th.

Where you’ll be

Hopkins, Stann Creek District, Belize

We are right on the beach! We are 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, not a resort tourist destination, but it 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 a resort style vacation, then we may not be the right place for you. Being in the village can sometimes mean you will hear children, dogs, music, radios, chicken and roosters, 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.
