Great location!
Loved my stay at Baby Blue Moon! The room was clean and had everything I needed. Walkable (or ride a bike) to many restaurants and stores. There was a bike rental place just across the street! The beach is beautiful as always and there were a couple of lounge chairs on the property for my use.

The lodging was nice, there currently is construction behind the Cabana but nothing to noisy after night fall. Saturday and Sunday nights were a serious issue though the place next door played Karaoke until 0200 am!! But other than that we had wonderful time.

Baby Blue hide-a-way
Can't say enough about how wonderful this little Hopkins gem is! Right on the beach and at the same time in the centre of a walkable village! Bought our fruits and veggies on the street, best coffee right next door, and several rustic beach restaurants within easy walking distance. We tried them all and enjoyed every meal. This is a real village, not a resort, so expect the sounds and friendly people of every day life. Don't forget to tip the gentleman who cleans and rakes the sand all the way from the bungalow to the water (keeps the sand flee population down)

Comfortable and convenient stay
The property was perfect for one person with all the necessary amenities, and was very clean. Its located right on the beach and only a stones throw from restaurants and bars in Hopkons nearby. Peaceful, with clear communication with the property owner whenever I had a question or needed to book a taxi to the airport.

4 great days in Hopkins
Cabin was exactly as advertised, plenty of room for 2, great water pressure, our host gave us good advice on local eateries and set us up with an outstanding snorkel trip with Patrick. Hopkins is a fantastic place, much more local flavor than the other seaside tourist areas.

Mirko was great!
The property was a little smaller than we expected, so it was a little less ventilated than we hoped. However, the beachfront was very peaceful and mostly quiet. The location is also very convenient. Whenever we had issues Mirko was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would book again.

Bungalow on the beach
We had a pleasant stay at the Baby Blue Cabana. We enjoyed using the kitchen and eating on the deck with a view of the beach. Cozy bungalow for two. Within walking distance of Hopkins eateries. The property owner helped us get transportation to local attractions.

Great for 1 or 2 people.
Right on the beach. Staff went out of their way to help me with getting from the airport, excursions-which definitely helped because I was on my own and most excursion companies have a minimum of 2 people. I would definitely come here again.

Beautiful location and exactly as expected
Awesome little cabana with a comfy bed, shower, kitchen and porch with a hammock. The location is great for walking to everything in Hopkins. All the restaurants are close and the market is less than a block away. Making a pot of coffee in the morning and sitting is the beach is hard to beat. I have and will continue to recommend this property to all my friends.

Baby Blue Cabana
This new cabana, extremely well kept and clean. The cabana is in the central part of town which enables you to walk around and experience the local culture and cuisine. For one person it is fine, it may be a little on the small side for 2 people but overall this little cabana has my recommendation.

An Unforgettable Stay at the Baby Blue Beach Front Cabana
Our time at the Baby Blue Cabana was nothing short of magical. This charming, simple spot truly has everything you need to enjoy your time in Hopkins, Belize. Nestled right in the heart of the entertainment district (if you can call it that in this laid-back village), it’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the local culture.You’ll find yourself surrounded by an eclectic mix of local bars, restaurants, and businesses run by both welcoming locals and expats from around the globe. One of the highlights for us was being just a short 10-minute drive from the best birria tacos we’ve ever had anywhere in the world! Beef Masters Pasture-Raised Farm has a food truck that is a must-visit; their tacos are absolutely incredible.What really made this experience stand out, though, were the people. The locals welcomed us with open arms and genuine warmth, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s hard to overstate how special it is to feel so embraced by a community while traveling.If you’re looking for a simple, authentic, and wonderfully located spot to stay in Hopkins, the Baby Blue Cabana is the perfect choice. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a gateway to incredible food, a vibrant atmosphere, and unforgettable memories.

Nice private cabana in the heart of Hopkins
Great communication with host, Mirko. Access and check in was smooth. We loved this cozy cabana. It was the smaller cabana on the property. Nice touch with the hammock and coconuts in the mini fridge. Though it was a bit tucked away from the beach, it is a very short walk (count about 30 steps). Walkable to shops and restaurants and ATM.

Honeymoon stay
The Baby Blue was amazing. It was exactly what we wanted. We were able to make all our meals right there in the kitchen. Very quite location, very little traffic. Great location in country lots to go and see near by. And very close to The Oasis Fitness Gym, and the very best restaurant in all of Belize the Lucky Lobster Bar and Grill. Nice setting on the beach. Mirko and Annette were great and checked in on us a couple of times to make sure we had an amazing trip.

What a little gem we found. While there is a larger cabana in front of the one we stayed in, blocking most of the ocean view we could still see the ocean a little bit, and literally it was a two minute walk to the beach. The cabana itself was very comfortable with a stocked kitchen, good bed and clean room. Just felt very homey. We'd make a simple breakfast and enjoy it on the deck. The birds were fun to watch, and the sunrises amazing. Walking distance to town which had several restaurants. Certainly hope to be back some day.

Awesome place to stay
The Baby Blue was just perfect for me to stay for 5 days - Mirko and Annette were extremely accommodating and flexible with both arrival and departure and just checking in to make sure everything was good! I was able to book a scuba and snorkel trip through one of the local resorts located only 2 miles away from the cabana. The people of Belize are very friendly and Happy Grocery is located within walking distance! Beach is literally out the front door. Beautiful! Hoping to return with friends and family soon! :)

Property was convincedly located just steps away from the beach. The bungalow was efficiently laid out. Frig, and kitchen items provided including coffee maker. Short walking distance to restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. Site provide information for many different excursion activities. Perfect for 2 people.

About the host

Hosted by Mirko Bechstedt

Host profile image
Baby Blue Cabana was built in 2014 in the lot behind our beachfront Blue Moon Cabana. We put our hearts and souls into the cabana and wanted to build a place that fit with the culture of Hopkins. It was important to us to create a space that was comfortable and included all the things we would want ourselves in a rental cabana in Belize. We are not into the resort experience and value the local culture and people of Hopkins. We leave the resort-type experience to the places south of the village. Mirko, who lives nearby Baby Blue and Blue Moon Cabana is available to assist guests with all their needs during their stay, including transfer to and from the airport (and other locations) and arranging tours and other adventures for guests.

Why they chose this property

Hopkins is a laid back village with beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea and Maya Mountains on the other side. Hopkins has a rich cultural life --and traditional Garifuna life is evident throughout the village.

What makes this property unique

Baby Blue Cabana is centrally located in the village which allows us to soak up the rich cultural life of the village. Local restaurants and other popular establishments are within walking distance from the cabana, but guests can also rent bicycles to get around, too. The cabana itself is steps from the sea and enjoys fabulous breezes directly from the sea. Hopkins is a great base to enjoy day and half-day trips to the jungle, mountains, and cayes. In addition to relaxing on the veranda or on the beach, there are so many adventures to enjoy in and around the village.
