Tricia A

Tricia & Doug are great hosts, very responsive and friendly . The apartment looks out onto the beach and a great sea breeze blows through the house (it was 31-33 degrees when we stayed). Comfortable apartment with everything we needed, lovely garden. Great recommendations - we took a bird watching tour in the rain forest with Kulcha Tours and saw a tapir - very lucky. The apartment is on a small strip with lots of cafes, restaurants and at least two supermarkets. Hopkins is very chilled and we had a great stay.

We spent three nights at Tricia and Doug’s place. The apartment has everything we needed and is nice and cool in the hot weather. Hopkins is a good base for a mixture of snorkelling/diving and experiencing some garifuna culture, while also travelling to nearby national parks. There was a fair bit of sargassum in the sea while we were there - which meant we didn’t swim in Hopkins. Doug does everything he can to clear it and restore the beach. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and are grateful to Tricia and Doug for their warm hospitality.
