Our stay at Hopkins Bay Resort was mostly as expected. Being a "resort" there was no kitchen and all meals were expected to be purchased at their Rum Shack restaurant; or in town if you have transportation (which thankfully we did). The staff was friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that there was no drinking water for us in our room. We requested drinking water multiple times over the first couple days of our stay, and somehow it kept being forgotten. When water finally showed up, it was two refillable glass jugs and one of the jugs appeared filthy in the bottom. We did not drink the water provided, instead we went to the grocery and bought jugs of clean water for drinking. Otherwise, the stay was exactly what we expected. The resort was very clean and well maintained. Food and drinks at the Rum Shack were good. We would have preferred a room directly on the beach (not just a view of the ocean from 200 feet away), but it was acceptable.
