Simply Amazing
Our week stay at Villa Rising Sun was perfect for our family of five. Our two kids shared a room and my sister had her own room set off towards the back of the house. The Villa Rising Sun team went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The home and grounds were clean and well cared for. I loved that cleaners were brought in midway through our week stay. An itinerary with our planned excursions and meal suggestions was provided by the management team. This along with the Villa Rising Sun guest website recommendations made it easier to choose restaurants and activities. We enjoyed most of our time outside at the bar watching the kids play in the ocean. The bar is equipped with an ice maker, wash sink, Bluetooth speaker system, and more. We enjoyed watching the marine life, including two manatees, off the well lite dock at night. We let the management team know what type of excursions we were looking at and they helped us coordinate them. It was so nice to be picked up and dropped off at the Villa for both of our excursions. The golf cart we rented for a day was also dropped to our door and pick up the next day. We look forward to returning one day!

Warm and Wonderful
Our days at Villa Rising Sun were truly restful, magical and fun. Mark, Sabrina and Dean made themselves available to answer questions, make suggestions and provide information about the community, sharing their passion and love for their adopted home. The accommodations are spacious and clean with plenty of room for large groups (our party of six consisted of one couple, two mothers/mothers-in-laws, and two friends), with ample space for a variety of interests and activities. The Caribbean Sea is in the backyard, offering around-the-clock access to swimming, floating, or just listening to the waves wash ashore. We all hope to return very soon and will recommend VRS to our families and friends.

Great Stay!
We were a very last minute booking and Mark, Sabrina and Dean bent over backwards to make our stay easy, fun and comfortable. They are around when you need them but not at all overbearing. The house is super clean and comfortable with everything you need and more. We rented golf carts (arranged by dean and delivered within minutes) and it was so fun to cruise around. All of the tours they arranged were fabulous. Hopkins and Sitter River are so great. We’ll be back!

Just as perfect the second time around
I think that the most reliable recommendation of a property is a return visit. After staying at Villa Rising Sun in 2021, we did not bother looking at other properties when booking our stay in Hopkins in 2024 -- it was just as perfect the second time around. There is no room for improvement -- the interior of the property is amazing, the outdoor tiki bar and beach area is a spectacular space for partying, relaxing, and enjoying the beach and the views. The hosts are wonderful -- they go above and beyond to make sure that your stay is perfect. Perfect suggestions for excursions and dining. Can't say enough good things about Villa Rising Sun -- except that we will book it again when we return to Hopkins.

Paradise!
This property was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and very spacious. The private bar outside was where we spent the majority of our time because it was absolutely perfect! The hosts were great. I couldn't have asked for a better way to start our Belize vacation. We will 100% be back to Hopkins and this Villa.

Don't look further, book this location before someone else does
This is an incredibly spacious location, directly on the beach, full of extra amenities. Our family of five stayed and thoroughly enjoyed Villa Rising Sun. Outdoors you're directly on the beach. The family enjoyed the swinging and fishing on the dock. You can wade into the water for a good distance and there is marine life to enjoy snorkeling. The outdoor bar location is a unique feature which we used consistently whether it be for socializing, outdoor eating, a quick drink or shade. They also provide beach loungers, chairs and towels for your use. Inside you have a kitchen which is fully stocked with every cooking or baking need you might have. There is also a barbecue available to grill any fresh catch. The bedrooms are spacious with loads of drawer and closet space. Bathrooms are well stocked with toiletries and extra towels. The team managing Villa Rising Sun is phenomenal. Communication occurs early as they proactively reach out to help you plan your trip - excursions, transportation, food, etc. This communication also includes a letter of information to know about Hopkins, weather, packing recommendations. I found this extremely helpful. They remain in constant communication throughout your stay ensuring you have everything you need or to provide any recommendations if you ask. This villa is a gem. We absolutely plan to return and stay here again.

The property was gorgeous! It is well equipped, great beds, pillows, and linens. The ocean side cabana is beautiful.
