Sapphire Beach Resort

The staff are probably the best part of this place. It does have a nice view of the ocean from the balcony. The palm trees all around the area give it a very tropical feel and looks beautiful. If it wasn't for Eddie going above and beyond for us, I probably would've rated this much lower. He was truly exceptional and so thankful for all his help.

The A/C in the living room did not cool enough so we had to keep the one in the room fully running at all times to make up for the living room, otherwise it got too warm. The cealing fan handle was so high up with no string and impossible to reach. The area fan provided did not even work which we needed since the living room A/C was not cooling enough. The microwave also did not work so we were unable to warm up leftovers there. Thankfully the stove did work though. Unfortunately, the location of the property was also extremely inconvenient and far from everything. It took us about 45 minutes just getting there from the ferry or "water taxi" as they call it which you must take if you are coming from Belize City. You cannot go to a store or any other restaurants because they are too far. Be prepared to either take a taxi, rent a car or rent a golf cart and you will spend some time driving to get anywhere. If I had known this, I wouldn't have booked here. As if that all wasn't enough, we couldn't even go to the beach or get in the water because there was a massive wall of seaweed. I'm not even exaggerating. That was the whole point of staying by the beach is to enjoy the water and we couldn't even do that. Its very sad because the property itself is beautiful, but I would not stay here again.

Beautiful, quiet location, perfectly kept grounds (including daily removal of sargassum), friendly, professional staff, convenient pickup from the dock for snorkeling/ scuba/ fishing trips from White Sands Dive Shop), nice restaurant & tiki bar on site, free use of bikes, kayaks. & SUPS, and helpful arrangement for shuttle to/from the airport. SO RELAXING & PEACEFUL!

It is remote (which we liked), but there are only a few restaurant options within walking distance. If you want your own golf cart, the staff will arrange that for you, but it's a 40-45 min drive on a bumpy road to San Pedro. I highly recommend the $50 shuttle, especially if you would have to drive in the dark.

I liked location away from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro. Accommodations were perfect for me and my friend traveling - 2bedroom with unsuited bathrooms with sea views. Falling asleep with the sound of the sea was delicious..

The beach is not really swimmable and it trashy outside of the resort area. This has to do with the trash issues in central America more than the accommodations. But if you are looking for pristine beach conditions you will have to head to Secret Beach about 40.minute golf cart ride away.

Staff were great and the food was amazing!

The beds were uncomfortable and our shower barely worked. We were also a little surprised by all the bugs and critters.
