Driving Directions
From Belize International Airport to Belizean Dreams Resort
Driving in Belize is relatively easy along the main highways, including the route to Hopkins. Belize drives on the right-hand side of the road, as in the United States.
The main highways are paved, but drivers should still be alert for speed bumps, changing road conditions, limited signage in some areas, and occasional one-lane bridges. If you plan to explore more remote areas, a four-wheel-drive vehicle may be helpful, although it is not necessary for the main route to Belizean Dreams.
Please bring a valid driver’s license and make sure your rental vehicle is properly insured. We also recommend avoiding unnecessary driving after dark, particularly in unfamiliar or rural areas.
If you prefer not to drive, Belizean Dreams vacation packages include shared ground transportation between Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) and the resort on your arrival and departure days. Read our Getting Here page for more information.
Directions
- Leave the airport and take the airport access road to the roundabout. Take John Smith Road at this roundabout.
- Follow John Smith Road (crossing the John Smith Bridge over the Belize River) until it ends at a roundabout on the Western Highway (George Price Highway), at approximately Mile 7.5. (10 minutes, 5 miles, 8 km)
- Take the roundabout onto the Western Highway, heading west, and continue to the Hattieville roundabout at approximately Mile 15. Stay straight/take the exit continuing west toward Belmopan.
- Continue on the Western Highway past Hattieville toward La Democracia, where the Coastal Highway (also called the Manuel Esquivel Highway) begins. There is a Shell gas station at this junction — top off here if you need to, since there are no services along the Coastal Highway itself. Turn left onto the Coastal Highway.
- Follow the Coastal Highway south — now fully paved — through the villages of Gales Point Manatee and Mullins River, until it ends at a roundabout where it joins the Hummingbird Highway near Hope Creek.
- Continue straight through the roundabout onto the Hummingbird Highway, heading toward Dangriga, until you reach the turnoff for the Southern Highway. There will be a Shell gas station on your right just before the Southern Highway. This is the last gas station before you reach Hopkins.
- Turn right on the Southern Highway. Soon after you pass through Silk Grass Village there will be a road to the left toward Hopkins. Turn left on the Hopkins Road. There will be a Belizean Dreams sign and a Shell gas station at this junction (5 minutes, 10 miles, 16 km).
- Take the Hopkins Road until you reach Hopkins. There will be a Uno gas station shortly before you reach the village, and a Belizean Dreams sign at this intersection (10 minutes, 6 miles).
- Turn right and take the fully paved road through the village and continue until you see the Belizean Dreams drive on the left. Turn into the driveway. You've made it! (6 minutes, 2.2 miles)

My husband and I stayed at the Belizean Dreams and enjoyed it from arrival to departure. The driver was really sweet and informative about the area while driving from the airport to the Resort. – TripAdvisor user
