This was one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in! The location was phenomenal - steps away from the water and just a walk along the beach in either direction to get to some fantastic restaurants. The central location also allowed our tour company (Get to Know Belize) to pick us up at our door or right on the beach for all of our excursions! Martin, the manager, was very helpful and quickly responded to any question we had. Our neighbors (and Hopkins as a whole) were friendly and even stopped over to see if our boys needed anything! The house itself was great; spacious, comfortable, and had all the tools we needed to cook a few meals ourselves. I can't recommend A Mayan Heaven enough!
This is our 4th visit to Hopkins and our first time staying here. It is in the middle of Hopkins so you can walk to all of the stores and restaurants. The beds are nice, the place is spacious and the property is fenced with a nice parking area inside the gates.
4 friends (2 couples) age 60 spent 3 nights and it was the best experience Cant beat the location, right on the beach, best restaurant right next door (Thongs) and walking distance to shops and restaurants The home was extremely clean, comfortable and had a luxurious feel. Martin, the property manager was very responsive and helpful. Stop searching properties right now and book this gem
The property is located in a wonderful seaside village, where fishing is the main source of income after tourism. Stay here twice now, and the village of Hoppens is everything if you want a mellow Caribbean vacation. The wonderful people and it is closest to all types of attractions, ruins, etc.. and like I said, the house is amazing!
This place is amazing. Martin was so welcoming and helpful. Beds are so comfortable!
Walking distance to many restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc.
The only negative I have is it does not have a washer or dryer, so if you are staying for a long period this could be an issue.
Martin made check in and out very easy and had lots of information about the area and places to see during our visit. We had a rental car, but with the house in such a great location, we were able to walk the majority of the time and saved driving for our day trips. The house is clean and well-maintained and right on the beach, so there was always swimming and playing in the sand for our kids (10,13, 16). Stores, fruit stands and restaurants are close to the house and everyone is so friendly. Thank you for sharing this home with us!
We had seen this property when we were in Hopkins about 5 years ago and knew it was the place we wanted to stay at when we came back to Belize. We could not have been happier with our time at MyanHeaven, a slice of heaven right in Hopkins - a beautiful house with wonderful beds and bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, gorgeous peaceful veranda, feet from the beach, easy walking distance to resturants, groceries, vegetable stands and the Thongs Cafe (great food). We could not have had a more wonderful week in paradise. Many thanks to Martin the property manager who was very attentive and to Katrina the owner. We are looking forward to a return stay.
Absolutely gorgeous house on the beach. Everything is as shown in the photos. The house has Everything you could need…lots of towels, dishes etc. sunrise on the deck or evening drinks, equally beautiful. There is a fruit and veg stand across the street and a great restaurant Siomarra that serves local food at great prices. There are a number of grocery stores within walking distance. This is the perfect spot for some R&R.
Great home in the middle of the village.House had towels, linens, kitchen tools.Bed was comfortable and amazing cross breeze through the house when you open doors.Did not affect our stay but the knives in the kitchen need to be either sharpened or replaced. Again, not a major deal.Also not a big deal to us but it may matter when looking at this property...no TV in the bedroom. I don't care because the surroundings are good enough for me to look at but some may have an issue with it.Martin, the Manager was there when you needed him but gave you privacy.I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

The house is beautiful, nicely layed out, well secured, comfortable, and the aircondition worked very well.
Some suggestions:
*Get the airconditioners on prior to arrival of guests
*Have a check list of things to turn on and make sure all aminities are on or in operation: microwave, water heater
*We left a list of things that need to be replaced.
Thank you for the general clean up after the first week stay. Martin checked on us regularly.
Every was absolutely amazing!!!!!! Very clean. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable mattresses. There was a problem with on of the A/C units but i sent a text to Martin and he was all over it. Great guy to deal with. We had an amazing time. The view was fantastic. We would definitely go back in a heartbeat
Fantastic location right in the heart of Hopkins. Nice spot on the beach with palm tree shade. The house is very nice, clean and comfortable. All modern amenities including AC and washer/dryer. I would absolutely stay here again!!

This is the nicest house on the beach in Hopkins. It is a really good location. The beach is fantastic. The beds are VERY comfortable. Highly recommended.
The property was exactly as advertised; the property manager was always available and the surrounding area and people was amazing. I highly recommend the property and location and look forward to visiting that exact spot again in the future.
The house is wonderful! Waking up to the sound of the surf in an extremely comfortable bed is otherworldly. Lots of room with everything you need, the house is well appointed and beautifully decorated. We loved our stay there and would do it again in a heartbeat. Only quibble is the pack of local dogs sounding the alarm at dawn each morning.
We really enjoyed our stay at aMayaHeaven. Hopkins is a nice easy-going town and we enjoyed the people we met there. The location of the home on the beach was great as were the accommodations. We enjoyed our stay and we really appreciate the hospitality. Martin, the Property Manager, was quick to help us with any questions or concerns we had. Thanks.
