Absolutely perfect
Shedrock Shangrila was simply perfection for our group. We were a large family group ranging from ages 8 to 75. The space was ideal for allowing us to all spend time with each other, but also spacious enough to allow us to have some relaxing private time if needed. The location is stunning and the views are incredible. The ground level pool right on the ocean is where we spent all our time. The host and property manager were extremely helpful, communicative, and friendly. We can’t wait to go back.

Incredible property
We had the most wonderful experience. The house is fabulous. It was everything I had hoped and more. The property manager and her husband were extremely responsive and there to take care of us. The owner is very nice and was extremely helpful. The new ground level pool was awesome and we enjoyed using it the entire stay. We were there for a celebration of life and Robyn was instrumental in helping me with the arrangements for our plans. I would highly recommend this property.

Spectacular getaway
We had a wonderful time at this amazingly beautiful property. The view from the roof top deck was spectacular. We caught a couple of sunsets behind the mountains that were stunning. Each of the rooms are beautiful. The property manager, Ellen, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond to make our stay special. Hopkins is a lovely little town. We came with a large group and rented the whole house which was perfect. People had there own spaces but we had a very communal experience as well. I would strongly recommend this place.

It's Paradise at Shedrock Shangri-la
We brought our extended family of 18 (ages 4 and up) to this wonderful VRBO in Hopkins, Belize. The accommodations were perfect and extremely well maintained. Although the property can be segregated into 5 apartments on three levels, we used all of them for our clan. The beds, other furnishings, and kitchens were immaculately clean and well organized. The two outdoor roof-top pools were a great hit with the teenagers and 6 yr-old crowds. The property manager greeted us and provided an excellent overview and orientation of the VRBO. She and her husband were also very helpful during our entire stay. The local grocery store and restaurants proved to be equal to the broad range of eating styles of our family. We stayed an entire week and visited almost all of the sites in southern Belize. The central location at Hopkins was perfect for our day trips. The VRBO hosts (Tony and Robyn) were very accommodating and communicative to our needs. This VRBO is the best we've stayed at over the last 7 years of annual family vacations. We highly recommend it.

The thaw before the storm
Coming from the north east to deflate before we head in to our busy season. Great manager getaway! We are hoteliers and restauranteurs. Everyone… and I mean EVERYONE was wonderful!! We enjoyed the location, views, decor and the PEOPLE. Will be returning very shortly. The street tacos were amazing everywhere we went.
