"Shelly was absolutely amazing! She made my stay feel exceptionally welcoming. The property was a little rustic but I feel that I was integrated into the true Belizean community by the location.I would definitely return if Shelly's personalized professional presence remains at Julia's.

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Parrot Cove was nothing short of amazing. From breathtaking views to delicious breakfast, this place was top notch. The staff was more than helpful when we faced a significant delay at the airport that put us getting in much later than anticipated. Yoli went above and beyond to stay in contact with me and setting up someone to be there when we arrived after hours. The breakfast was so good: traditional Belizean breakfast with the freshest fruit I have ever had. Beds were extremely comfortable and the AC about froze us out of the room. Overall, 10/10 on the stay. I will be back to Hopkins and, specifically, Parrot Cove."
