We had a great time at Buttonwood Guesthouse. The rooms were beautiful and clean. The grounds are also stunning and they offer free amenities such as use of bikes and beach towels. The staff were amazing. The guesthouse is very secure.
Unfortunately, we were victims of an armed robbery during our stay in Hopkins while we were down the beach at Driftwood Pizza one evening. The guesthouse owner, Damian, was called to pick us up. He was very helpful in the days to follow, including accompanying us to the police station to make our formal report. He also had a meeting with his staff to begin offering a shuttle to Driftwood pizza on Tuesday nights as there are often music events and as we were apparently not the first ones to be robbed while leaving there.
We do recommend Buttonwood, but do not recommend Hopkins as a destination at this time. Although it is beautiful there, and the culture is rich and the food is great, the safety is just not adequate right now. We heard of numerous other incidents during our time there. It's really unfortunate because Damian and Buttonwood / Coconut Row are really fantastic as a guesthouse, and the services and amenities they offer are great.
