This was my third time at this house, so I already felt at home when I now returned after seven years. A lot had changed, however. First of all, the road from the Southern Highway to Hopkins is now paved as is the road in Hopkins and almost all the way to the house. Seven years back this was all dirt road.
The house has also changed owners and you could tell that Caroline and Jesse have started to improve the place. It is perfect for a solo traveler like myself, but will also work for two people.
Hopkins is a great hub for all sorts of adventures in Belize. I made use of that on a daily basis, but then also enjoyed ending the day in the hammock on the porch, listening to the waves rolling in. And in the morning you wake up to a great sunrise that you can actually see from your bed.
The place has everything you need including plenty of wildlife. I hope I will be able to return soon.
