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.

We loved our stay at the Villa Rising Sun!
The property was gorgeous! It is well equipped, great beds, pillows, and linens. The ocean side cabana is beautiful. Dean was a great asset in helping us organize our golf cart, tours and recommendations for restaurants. Mark and Sabrina were great hosts always checking in to see if we needed anything. A place we highly recommend!

Wonderful Vacation
Villa Rising Sun was a beautiful beachside vacation spot for our family (three teenage boys and a girlfriend) Communication by the the owners, Mark and Sabrina, and property manager, Dean was nothing less than excellent. Since nobody stayed at the property on the previous day, they contacted us to invite us for an early check-in. They all greeted us warmly upon our arrival, with help with our luggage and a tour of the beautiful property. They were all extremely attentive to any need that arose, without being at all intrusive. Dean provided excellent concierge services, not only with excursions, but also with any local restaurant recommendations. The excursions (zip line, rafting, and fishing) and services (spa and chef) that they recommended were all terrific! Overall, it was an amazing stay and we hope to return again soon!
