While all the bartenders got elbow deep into crafting their cocktails, at the end of the day only one cocktail from each resort came out a winner. We’re proud to announce the winners are Rene Weight representing The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, Briceno Cal representing The Lodge at Jaguar Reef, and Immer Mai representing Umaya Resort.

The winning bartender at every resort won a resort stay and an online course from Scoolinary called Mixology Fundamentals: The 25 Classic Cocktails with Javier de las Muelas. The winners from each resort will be facing off at Jaguar Reef’s Mini Lobster Fest on July 22 where a master mixologist will be crowned. Be sure to come by for a weekend of savory food, Belizean pop up shop, and the final round of Battle of the Bartenders.

What may appear to the uninitiated as a random set of words is for many in Belize a
series of utterances that will set mouths watering. Each of these mango varieties is available in the country, and for many one of the central joys of living in the Jewel.
Fortunately, your appetite for the sometimes sweet, sometimes sour fruit du jour can be more than satiated at the 2023 Hopkins Mango Street Fest. The Hopkins chapter of the Belize Tourism Industry Association hosts this annual event that brings together locals and visitors from across Belize to revel in the fruit that makes the hot summer days tolerable.

The event takes place on the streets of Hopkins on June 10th and 11th from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with a variety of activities for everyone in the family. Enjoy arts and crafts activities made especially for the kids and savor the shade while sipping refreshing mango juice.

For the adults, the activities meet every sensual desire aspired to in Caribbean poetry about the potent fruit. From competitions for the best mango dish and best mango drink to a bartending competition, mangos will take center stage as people course through the Southern coastal village.

You can mango hop from booth to booth, trying a selection of cocktails made especially for the day while enjoying the sounds of the Sweet Pain Band and Mac 90 Sounds. Be sure to stop by The Belize Collection’s very own booth where Chef Rahim will have a selection of exclusive dishes. You can try the zingy taste of mango and jalapeño pizza, or share a plate of fresh ceviche with diced mango. Chef Rahim will also feature a selection of mango cocktails and desserts that will disappear before you’re able to get it for the ‘gram.

The Lodge at Jaguar Reef has you covered if you’re interested in further exploring the delights of mangos. Belizeans can take advantage of the 50% local discount to join in the fun while international guests can call in to receive a discount. With two days of mango fest, The Lodge at Jaguar Reef is your premier choice to stay at and take a break from the action throughout the day. Retreat to your private plunge pool after a day of all things mango. Or escape the crowd when you’ve had your fill and cool off in your suite with room service. If the activities are done but you’re still up for more, head over to the Big Dock Bar for more drinks, sun, and sea. You can also rent one of the Lodge’s golf carts to travel back and forth to the street fest and enjoy the after-party at Ella’s Cool Spot.

The brainchild of Lucas Hoge, this Belize music festival was inspired by his love for Belize. Hoge said, “Belize is one of the many locations I’ve been able to visit while filming my TV series Hoge Wild. I truly fell in love with this place and the people. Being able to work with my partners and our sponsors to bring this festival to life is simply incredible. We look forward to many years of sharing Hopkins Beach Belize with not only my songwriting peers, but friends and fans from all over the world.”

Choose Belize and Artistry Alliance are also credited as creators of the upcoming Belize event. Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member Paul Overstreet and artists Lindsay Ell and Craig Campbell will all be performing. The team was able to partner with Operation Encore who will be bringing in military veteran songwriters JB Brown and Tyree Woods.

The full line up includes:
Lucas Hoge, Paul Overstreet, Lindsay Ell, Craig Campbell, Phil Barton, Forest Whitehead, Trent Tomlinson, Cameron Bedell, Tim Gates, Tyree Woods, JB Brown

Over the two days, the country songwriters will also be performing at Play Bar and Mango’s Bar in Hopkins. Festival goers can use the free shuttle service being offered by Jaguar Reef to get to Mango’s Bar while Play Bar is a short walk away from the lodge. Expect these performances to be up close and personal, as you sit, stand, and sway just feet away from these award winning songwriters. There will be no jostling around, no toes getting stepped on, and no chance to miss out on these incredible performances.

Book your stay at any of the resorts on the Jaguar Reef property, the official venue partner, including Almond Beach Resort, Colonial Inn, Villa Margarita, and The Lodge at Jaguar Reef.

Tickets can be purchased online or at any of the three newly added ticket outlets: The Belize Collection main office in Belmopan, The Lodge at Jaguar Reef in Hopkins, or Umaya Resort in Maya Beach, Placencia. For in-person purchases, call +501-822-3850 or email concierge@thebelizecollection.com

Bring out your finest country gear, bedazzled country boots, and your most stylish country hats for two days of live performances from a star studded Nashville lineup. Since we’ll be sipping cocktails on the golden beach next to the Caribbean Sea listening to our favorite country songs, your trusty flip flops, denim shorts, or sundress will do just fine.

There’s still time to join us for the inaugural Belize Songwriter Festival this May 19 – 20 at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef, Hopkins for two days of drinks and country music on the beach.

After a first night’s rest at the resort, you rouse the kids from bed, brush their teeth and ensure they all get dressed. You then quietly make your way out the room, but not before leaving a copy of the new book Mom’s been wanting to read on the nightstand while she sleeps. You give her all the time she wants to indulge in the lushness of luxury bedding. As she wakes up, she’ll take note of the book and the quietude you’ve gifted her and know the day will be a good one. Once Mom has made her way through her morning routine, she finds you all waiting for her to get the day going.

She’s not feeling in the mood for food just yet, so asks if you all would mind taking a walk for a while. As you walk along the beach at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef in Hopkins or Umaya in Placencia, or the trails at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, you ask her about how she slept, how she’s feeling about the day, and you take note of the radiance she exudes as she outlines her desires, the directness and consideration of them leaving you profoundly touched to know someone so tender and brilliant.

Appetite enlivened from the walk, you all go to the resort’s main restaurant for the Moms + Mimosas brunch special. For this annual event, each of The Belize Collection’s restaurants has its own unique menu to complement the scenery and vibe.

At the Grove House at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, Mom can try the ‘Jungle Hearts’, heart of palm filled with an airy cheese mousse and topped with smoked ham and sorrel jelly. Those staying at Placencia’s Umaya Resort can visit Restaurante Laguna and go for the ‘Coconut French Toast’, french toast infused with coconut, garnished with caramelized bananas and cashew nuts, a dish with just the right amount of sweet. Visitors to the Paddle House at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef can delight in the perfection that is the ‘Croissant Sandwich’, slices of roasted ham and locally sourced cheese tucked into a flaky croissant roll.

Regardless of which resort you choose to visit, Mom and company can imbibe in the bubbly goodness of perfected mimosas made of a blend of champagne and freshly made orange juice. Have a round or two to the woman that weathered the family through both turbulence and ease with unmeasurable grace as you sneak bites of each other’s plates, laughing all through the first half of the day.

From there, it’s now time for Mom to receive the massage you prebooked for her. An hour with an expert masseur and she’ll be feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the afternoon’s activities.

This is the perfect time for you to visit the Village Gift Shop where you can find a variety of locally sourced products that cater to Moms all walks of life. At The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, you can find unique handbags crafted by Belizean makers Twig & Pearl, Emilio Perera, and Zyania Alonzo, and a variety of clay earrings from Belizean jeweler Sol.

After the massage and your covert shopping excursion, you reconvene the family for a leisurely afternoon. Sleeping Giant guests can relish in a leisurely hike through the resort’s jungle trails with plenty of plants and gentle animal life to enchant you.

If you’re at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef, this is the perfect time to visit the Big Dock Ceviche Bar where you can partake of ceviche made right in front of you. Go between bites of ceviche, dips in the Caribbean Sea and lounging on the dock as you wile away the afternoon. Visitors to Umaya can relax at the resort’s swim-up bar and try out a variety of cocktails and mocktails made of exclusive infused rums and fresh juices.

As the day begins to wind down, Mom leans over to you and grabs your hand before telling you simply ‘Thank you.’ Nothing else needs to be said as you share in this moment of appreciation, knowing that all the day’s events can’t compare to all she’s done to make your house a home, and make life more than surviving another day.

The Belize Collection recognizes that conservation allows guests to enjoy their resorts, but not many may understand all the work that goes into preserving Belize’s wonders. They realized they were well positioned to meet that gap. The marketing and management team invited several conservation organizations to speak with their guests at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant and The Lodge at Jaguar Reef about the multi-tiered work conservationists in Belize do every day.

Now The Belize Collection is bringing those conversations to a wider audience by launching a new monthly YouTube series called ‘Coffee with Conservationists.’

From the Grove House to your house, these conversations provide an accessible point of entry for anyone interested in getting to know more about what Belize’s conservation organizations do to protect the unique and endangered environments that comprise Belize. You’ll learn about what inspires the work of the organization, how passion for animals and the environment ignited action, and how you can better support the efforts of these vital organizations.

‘Coffee with Conservationists’ kicks off with a conversation featuring Conservation Program Manager Jamal Andrewin-Bohn of The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center. Andrewin-Bohn discusses the role of The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center in protecting and rehabilitating Belize’s native wildlife. From its humble origins as the extension of a 1983 film project shot in the Central Belize region where the zoo now resides, the Belize Zoo has become a vital part of Belize’s ecological education thanks to the efforts of founder Sharon Matola (1954-2021).

The Belize Zoo resides in the Maya Forest Corridor, which serves as a vital migratory route connecting the southern Maya Mountains to the northern Selva Maya. The zoo recently purchased 1000 acres in the Maya Forest Corridor in the name of Matola, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to protecting Belize’s abundant wildlife.

In the interview Andrewin-Bohn also explains how, globally, zoos are moving away from models based on displaying species from around the world for entertainment to one that centers animals’ needs in the landscapes that suit them. In this respect, The Belize Zoo has long been an industry leader, featuring solely animals from Belize that were orphaned, injured, or in some other way in need of additional care unavailable in their natural habitat. The Belize Zoo also regularly reintroduces animals able to enter the wild once rehabilitated as part of its devotion to supporting the wildlife populations of these incredible animals.

Asked how the public can support The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center, Andrewin-Bohn invites people to volunteer with the zoo to provide the many behind-the-scenes activities necessary to care for the animals and their habitats. The Belize Zoo also accepts monetary donations and offers a unique ‘Adopt an Animal’ program where you can give money to support a species of your choosing, a great gift option for the animal lover in your life.

Every month, ‘Coffee with Conservationists’ will bring you a new video you can enjoy along with your favorite cup of joe. Learn about Panthera’s work monitoring wildcats in Belize, or join Jamal Galves, Belize’s own manatee man as he talks about his passion for protecting manatees and their habitats. The full line up includes: 

• Jamal Andrewin-Bohn, Conservation Program Manager, The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center
• Janelle Chanona, Vice President, Oceana Belize
• Nikki Buxton, Executive Director & Rehab Manager, Belize Bird Rescue
• Jamal Galves, Belize Program Coordinator, Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute
• Emma Sanchez, Country Coordinator, Panthera Belize
• Sharon Young, Country Director, Blue Ventures
• Dr. Marisa Tellez, Founder/Executive Director, Crocodile Research Coalition
• Kirah Forman-Castillo, MSc., Belize National Coordinator, MarAlliance

The Belize Collection has been fortunate to have worked with various local, internationally recognized conservationists developing new ideas and strategies on how humans can become better stewards of this unique country, work that constantly motivates us to do the same. The work of these conservationists will inspire you to think more deeply about how you can better aid the work of conservationists in your daily life from reducing your consumption of plastics that harm animals to supporting policies that preserve sensitive ecologies.

To ensure you never miss an episode of ‘Coffee with Conservationists’ be sure to subscribe to The Belize Collection’s Youtube channel where you’ll also be able to see the collection’s other enthralling video features.

‘Coffee with Conservationists’ is a gentle and necessary reminder that while we relegate Earth Day to an annual celebration, every day invites us to deepen our connection with the environments that give us all we need to live, thrive, and luxuriate.

As Easter approaches, Belizeans become even more superstitious with age-old instructions to not go swimming on Good Friday or else you’ll turn into a mermaid.

But no folklore is involved in the recent activity being reported by guests at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant.

Guests have stumbled upon never before seen carvings in the natural limestone near Rope Bridge 5. While The Rainforest Lodge is expansive, it is unusual for carvings to mysteriously appear with no knowledge by onsite staff or management. Guests excitedly showed photos asking for the background story, but unfortunately, we have no answers.

Secondly, visitors have been alarmed by the sound of children playing coming from the trails at night. While our lodge is family friendly, we never recommend children being near or on the trails unsupervised, especially in the dark! Our staff quickly went to find the children, but not a person was in sight.

Even stranger, guests have been coming to our front desk staff with handfuls of cacao beans. We’ve been informed that guests have been waking up to cacao beans on their doorsteps. While we’d love to be the source behind this – we’re simply not! (This has, however, drummed up great interest in our Maya Chocolate Tour.)

We’re hard pressed to believe this is real paranormal activity, but we’re heeding the stories of our ancestors and looking into the signs. The cacao beans are a strong cultural connection to the Maya as they were once used as formal currency in the Maya civilization.

Historically, Belize was once home to massive and booming Maya kingdoms. Is there a possibility that the lodge was built upon one? Our onsite Maya Ceremonial Cave may provide clues about this.

For everyone’s safety, we’ve called in the professionals to help us solve this case. Our management team has reached out to Zak Bagans, American paranormal investigator, who will team up with Belizean archaeologist Jaime Awe, just in time for April Fool’s Day.

Without the glare of a screen, or the starkness of electric lights, you can bask in the night sky’s glow while indulging in a meal at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant thanks to The Belize Collection’s conservation initiative, ‘Lights Out’. ‘Lights Out’ is a monthly full moon event that seeks to reattune the body to a preindustrial harmonious state while maintaining all the decadence one expects from a world-class resort.

The event is inspired by the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour where the organization encourages people to turn off their lights for an hour on the last Saturday in March as a symbol of commitment to the planet. By turning off electric lights, people the world over demonstrate their desire for a planet that sees all peoples and other fauna and flora thrive as we strive towards a just transition to renewable energies.

Enjoy a meal while bathed in the luminescence of complementary moon and candlelight. Coinciding with the full moon phase, this event provides a wonderful opportunity for overnight guests and local visitors seeking a night of romance and intimacy.

Arrive at the Grove House by 7:15 p.m. to be seated and watch as the restaurant transforms at 7:30 p.m. with the dousing of all electrical lighting. Candles adorn every dining table and line the walls of the Grove Restaurant, giving a magical glow to the night’s meal. Come with your partner, or a small group of your closest friends and family and share in the splendorous night.

Dining without electric lighting not only inspires a more intimate feel to the night’s activities but also demonstrates to diners the great power and privilege humans have in accessing these artificial illuminations. By reveling in the nighttime light of other animals, diners will find themselves regrounded on a planet shared with our various animal kin.

To further enliven the night, Lights Out also now comes with an exclusive dining menu for you to partake of while bathed in nature’s luminescence. Start the meal with a lustrous blood orange & ricotta thyme & olive salad that balances rich and light flavors that’ll prep you for the night to come. From there, choose between an achiote and capers fish fillet served with bok choy and mustered spice potato medallions or a chuleta de puerco with sour orange and caramel sauce.

End your meal with perfection in the form of a mini one barrel rum cake. You’re also able to order from the regular Grove House menu, which will always feature favorites crafted by The Belize Collection’s Chef Rahim and executed by the Grove’s expertly trained staff.

You’ll leave satiated, calm, and thrilled at the prospect of the oneness of all things, of the fact that though your eyes first struggled with the dark, by dessert you could see all that’s important. This a reminder that all our devices and electronic connections cannot substitute for the simple pleasure of good food, loving company, and a brilliant night where all your needs are met.

As The Belize Collection continues its work at enhancing the customer experience while contributing to Belize’s conservation efforts, ‘Lights Out’ serves as just another example that luxury and harmony for all can coexist.

Call today to reserve a table for our next full moon event.

The Belize resort welcomed Their Royal Highnesses with open arms as they stopped in Belize during their Caribbean tour in March 2022. It was the first leg of their journey in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Prince William and Princess Kate had the privilege of staying in the Seafront Suite at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef. Draped in thoughtful decor and ultimate comfort, the suite offered unobstructed views of the stunning Caribbean Sea. With a private plunge pool, vaulted ceilings, and a mere step away from the beach, it’s hard to imagine royalty wanting for more.

The happy couple spent every waking chance they could strolling along Jaguar Reef’s silk-sand beach – and how couldn’t they? Jaguar Reef’s ideal location makes it impossible not to admire purple-hued sunrises breaking over the dreamy horizon – a horizon you can admire from the lodge’s very own over-the-water bar. Big Dock Bar is the perfect hanging-out spot for those wanting to relax and sip a cocktail while admiring the sea views. Which is exactly what the Prince and Princess did during their stay at Jaguar Reef. The Belize resort’s very own mixologist served them rum punch while the duo lounged at Big Dock Bar.

The Lodge at Jaguar Reef made sure their royal guests had not only the best-mixed cocktails but the best cuisine, too. Decadent meals were served straight from the resort’s onsite restaurant, the Paddle House. However, instead of sitting within the boho-chic restaurant, Prince William and Princess Kate opted for enjoying their meals under the stars instead. The local chefs were ecstatic to share authentic Belizean dishes with such esteemed guests. After all, Hopkins is a cultural Mecca teeming with people (and food) from all walks of life. It’s only natural to show a little slice of Belizean paradise through tasty cuisine!

Speaking of culture, Their Royal Highnesses had the opportunity to see Hopkins’ very own Garifuna culture up close and personal. During their stay, the royal couple immersed themselves in a lively dance set to Garifuna drumming. They shimmied and swayed their hips alongside the local schoolchildren who were more than happy to dance with a prince and princess! To see royals come from across the world to admire the beauty of Hopkins and its people with their own eyes is nothing short of extraordinary – and we’re sure the feeling was mutual.

While the Prince and Princess were quite busy during their short Hopkins stay, they knew they would come back to a room where they wind down with sweeping views of the ocean. The Lodge at Jaguar Reef may be used to treating guests like royalty, but this time the phrase took on a whole new meaning. We hope the Prince and Princess of Wales enjoyed their time in Belize as much as we enjoyed having them.

Belize is a remarkable place for birdwatching due to being a wintering site for many migratory species and also due to its range of ecologies from wetlands to tropical rainforests and mountain regions. The Belize Collection’s resorts cover several of these ecologies, putting you in an ideal position to incidentally or intentionally sight some of these feathered wonders.

The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant is the perfect place for you to spot birds drawn to tropical lowland forests, such as the scarce black and white owl. Meanwhile The Lodge at Jaguar Reef provides a great opportunity for you to venture to the Sittee River where you may run into a cattle heron. Further south at Umaya Resort, flying across the coast you might just spot a royal tern in search of its next meal.

With over 600 species observed and 809 ‘hotspots’ on global bird sighting app Ebird, Belize is rife with birds that will astonish and soothe you. Here are six birds you may get a chance to see while visiting one of the three The Belize Collection resorts.

Violet Sabrewing
Most likely sighted at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant

Though hummingbirds are known for their miniature quality, the violet sabrewing is unusual for its remarkably large size and aggressive demeanor. It prefers to reside in humid evergreen forest in highlands and foothills, meaning that you’re most likely to spot one while walking around the Rainforest Lodge. If you see a burst of violet at the corner of your eye, be sure to break out your binoculars to sight this gorgeous bird before it flits away.

Bare-throated Tiger Heron
Most likely sighted at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef

Belize has over 12 heron varieties, but for many the bare-throated tiger heron is the GOAT, not for its scarcity but for its sheer regality. A large but rather short-legged, primal-looking bird, the bare-throated heron is a denizen of mangroves and freshwater marshes in tropical lowlands. All plumages have naked yellow throat skin that’s not always easy to see and greenish legs. You can find them minding their own business indifferent to your observation. Regardless, a choice sighting should you get to bask in their glory. Bow to heron, queen of marshes.

Sungrebe
Most likely sighted at Umaya

Not all birds are fans of the forests and its bustling activity. Some, like the Sungrebe, prefer to pass their time out of the sun amid shady streams, mangroves, quiet ponds, and lake edges. The Sungrebe can be found swimming with a quirky slightly head-jerking motion. The striped head and neck and stout pointed bill are distinctive. You’ll perhaps spot one of these while lounging near the lagoon at Umaya Resort sipping on a sorrel cocktail. An easy one to tick off the checklist if you’re willing to wile the day away, and why not when you’re on vacation?

Collared Aracari
Most likely sighted at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant

The Collared Aracai is an attractive small toucan of tropical lowland forest and edge. They usually move in small groups through the canopy of fruiting trees. With yellow bodies with red and black markings and a serrated pattern on their bill, they are sure to make an impression. These toucans have been sighted from the private balconies of the Mountain View Suites at the Rainforest Lodge, scouting the fruit trees and catching up with each other. Break out a cup of coffee and join them in the morning hours.

Black-and-white Hawk-eagle
Most likely sighted at any time

As a kid you’re told to avoid looking at the sun, but it may be worth ignoring that advice for a chance to see the black-and-white hawk-eagle. An eagle that is rarely ever seen perched, it makes its home in lowland tropical forest. Look for its distinctive black mask, orange-yellow base of bill, and short black crest. It can sometimes be mistaken for an immature Gray-headed Kite, but its considerably larger size should indicate to you that you’re in the presence of something more majestic.

Keel-billed Motmot
Most likely sighted at The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant

One of three Motmot varieties sighted in Belize, the Keel-billed Motmot is smaller than its cousin the Lesson Motmot. These birds are forest-dwellers that like to sit around motionless on trees, so you’ll have to play a bit of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ to see one as you’re making your way up the hill on the Outlook trail. Like many introverts, they don’t get out much and can be hard to find. If you’re lucky enough to spot one, you’ll have bragging rights among the birders for years.
