We absolutely loved our stay at Seiri del Mar! There is a view of the ocean from every balcony/patio. The beach at the resort is one of the best that we found in Belize. It is sandy (very little kelp/sea grass) even quite a ways from shore. The staff rakes the beach regularly so that it is always clean and the grounds are pristine. We had fun using the paddle boards and kayaks and also used the bikes to bike to/from town...which is very close. It was so nice to be able to use the pool and hot tub even late at night. Inside, the beds are comfortable, the air conditioning works really well, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need, and having a washer/dryer helped reduce what we needed to pack. Hopkins is an amazing Garifuna community and we loved getting to know several of the local people (who are all exceptionally friendly) and learning more about the Garifuna culture and delicious food (be sure to have some stuffed fry jacks!). Last, but not least, we can't say enough positive things about Ratka and Byron. They were incredibly helpful with coordinating our plans and excursions both before and during our stay. In talking with them, we learned that they and Seiri del Mar do a lot to support the local school and community. Ratka and Byron helped us coordinate a donation for the local school and we hope many others who travel to Hopkins will consider doing the same. We fell in love with Belize during our time in Hopkins thanks to Ratka, Byron, and the welcoming people of the village. We feel like we left family behind and can't wait to return!
