What do people like (and dislike) about Hopkins Village?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Hopkins Village, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Hopkins Village, often like the laid-back atmosphere, friendly locals, and the strong sense of community in the village. They appreciate the beautiful beaches, warm weather, and the opportunity to enjoy various water sports and outdoor activities. The low cost of living, affordable housing, and the availability of fresh seafood and local produce are also attractive features. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the limited availability of modern amenities and infrastructure, such as reliable internet, which can be a challenge for those who rely on it for work. The village's remote location and limited access to healthcare facilities can also be a concern. Additionally, the slow pace of life and lack of entertainment options may not suit everyone, and some may find the local transportation options to be limited and unreliable. Finally, the high humidity and presence of bugs and mosquitoes can be bothersome for some individuals," remarked another expat who made the move to Hopkins Village, Belize.
"Hopkins village is exactly what I was looking for in terms of living in Belize, beautiful seaside village, local culture, (Garifuna), friendly and welcoming people, fresh fish, small expat community, resort areas for the tourists. So many great dining options! In terms of healthcare there is a private ambulance service stationed at the Hopkins Road and highway junction should any emergency occur. The village has a rural feel with free range chickens in the yards and horses grazing at street corners. Many of the locals have farms to grow their local veg and fruits, cassava, plantain, and coco. Local shops are plentiful and carry a good variety of stock, although not clothing. Anything not found here can usually be found in Dangriga town just a 25 minute drive from here. There are two main vendors for fruit and veg although trucks do come around selling door to door as well. Bottled water, (5 gallon) is also available daily to your door. In my seven years here in Belize I have lived in three locations, Placencia, Seine Bight and now Hopkins and for me Hopkins definitely feels like home. ," explained one expat living in Hopkins Village, Belize.
