from our guests...
"Our 7 day stay in Hopkins was great due to the hospitality of this hotel. The hotel had paddleboards to use so I was able to paddleboard for the first time. Having Chef Rob's restaurant on the premises was a real plus. The food was excellent. They provided to go breakfasts for us when we had to leave early for excursions. The pool was very nice to relax in after snorkeling, hiking at the ruins, or cave tubing."
