At the end of the pier of The Jaguar Reef you will come across a cocktail bar. On the first floor you order a drink and take a seat on the swings or in the seating areas. Or you can settle down in one of the large hammocks hanging above the sea and try to spot a manatee. How nice it is to see such a fantastic animal swimming by.

Make a daytrip to the Keys
From The Lodge at Jaguar Reef Hotel in Hopkins Belize you can visit several keys, small islands located off the coast of Belize, for a day of relaxing, kayaking, snorkeling or a bit of everything. I went on an unforgettable day trip to Rythm Reef Key, an island owned by the Belize Collection. And, if you thought you were already in paradise on the beach of Jaguar Reef, just wait until you arrive at this key.
A half-hour boat trip takes you to this uninhabited island. Rythm Reef Key is that type of island you imagine in your dreams: Snow-white beaches, palm trees and a clear blue sea where you see every fish swimming in it. On top of that, a team of staff is ready to pamper you completely. Fresh fruit is served, unlimited drinks are included and a chef prepares fresh ceviches and other delicious fish dishes for you.
During a snorkeling tour around the island you can admire the coral with countless colored fish. If you’re successful, you might even spot a sea turtle, ray and manatee. Looking for more activity? Then you can kayak or SUP around the island. But the best thing is to just be here and enjoy the unique place where time stands still.
