We loved our stay here. Tyler and Val were great hosts. The location is great, just far away from the center of the village, but close to eateries and grocery stores. Val is a great host with lots of tips on local tours and drivers. The four bicycles were a great amenity. The air conditioning worked well and there was a floor fan too. You can rent a car right across the street if you want to drive yourself to any of the local parks. There is a great breeze coming from the daily ocean wind. The setting sun is behind the house so you can relax on the shady porch in the hammock or comfy chairs. It's a great people watching spot. We used the common patio area and cooked on the gas grill. The ten dollar laundry service was convenient. The kitchen is well equipped and we had no issues cooking many of our own meals. We were amazed how many kitchen items were there that we normally have to buy in other airbnbs. The internet worked flawlessly and is fast (fiber optic). We fell in love with Hopkins. It's slow paced and full of very friendly people. Almost everyone waves at you and gives you a "good morning" or "good afternoon." We highly recommend taking a day trip to Mayflower Bocawina Preserve and at least doing the 45 minute antelope falls trail. There is a nice affordable restaurant there with great food called the Wild Fig. We also recommend the Palmento Grove Garifuna Eco Cultural And Fishing Institute at the north end of Hopkins village. The Garifuna tour included husking and grating coconuts, extracting the milk, making a base. We fried fish and mashed plantains and finished the hudut meal. We learned a lot about local herbs, drumming and the Garifuna history.
