10/10 Exceptional

Place was very accommodating. Only thing is proximity to downtown. One hour golf cart ride. But I would stay again!
Tina, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort staff and location are excellent. It is far enough out of town that you feel you have the whole area to yourself, which was exactly what we wanted! The resort staff is super friendly and will help you out with any questions or anything you need.
Wesley, 11-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the beach front accommodations. Great service and pleasant stay
Arthur, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a very peaceful property and well kept grounds. The food is good and reasonably priced. You must have a golf cart to get anywhere as it is quite a drive to town but great for spending the day doing something away. This is a great place for relaxing, not a place if you need to stay busy.
jaime, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pool needs paint and advertize cable tv which they don't have only wifi. If you don't subscribe to streaming apps you got no tv. Beach is terrible, you can't swim in it, it's so far from everything you need a car or gulf cart.

could have had better room cleaning/change of towels...
Frank Lawrence, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice setting. Friendly staff. Gem Restaurant is excellent. Unit I was in desperately needed updates to kitchen and bath. No screens, so no listening to the ocean inside. Road to resort is in extremely poor condition.
Terri Butler, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the resort. Good pool areas Rooms were clean and well maintained. Security (shout out to Marco) was fantastic. He was so helpful and always met us in the parking lot to make sure we got in okay. If you are an animal lover, there are cats and dogs to keep you company. Friendly, but well behaved. Must have golf cart to get around, but the drive is exciting and you notice something new every time! Locals appreciate a drive to or from work if you have room. Very safe.
Tracy, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice property quiet area and relaxing. Food at the restaurant was good. Seaweed on the beach was excessive and not cleaned up even though there was staff to do the job so difficult getting in and out of the water. Extremely expensive for transportation to leave the property
Anne, 13-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay. Food was great onsite but not great value, our server ms Vicki was lovely. limited options nearby. Bar was great when it was open; Wilbur and Edwin were great. Pools and property were clean and meticulously maintained. Loved our single poolside room. The kitchen was well appointed and very clean. It was high sorgrass season on the beach and you’d need a bulldozer to deal with that stuff properly. Definitely rent a cart in town on your way in so you can visit some other beaches. Fishing off the dock was great. We took advantage of the bikes and kayaks on site. Staff were awesome, friendly and attentive. Overall we had a great experience. The beaches in the immediate vicinity north and south were covered in trash - definitely not the resorts fault, but someone should deal with it. The Saturday BBQ is not to be missed! Thanks Sapphire Beach Resort!

Beautiful and peaceful Resort. I have to say that I really liked the staff especially how friendly and kind they all are. The security people are great they are consistently patrolling premises throughout the night.
Tammy, 8-night trip

We loved Sapphire Beach Resort both the staff and property! We could not say better things about both. We definitely will be back.
Rachael, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was very relaxing since we were there during the slow season. The food was excellent and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would return once the resort adds water taxi service and a small gift shop since we had to walk a mile to get some bug spray (we forgot to bring ours) and would appreciate being able to shop for forgotten items or snacks foods at the resort itself.
thomas, 6-night trip

Beautiful privacy

Very far north, which meant privacy- which is what we wanted. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Very beautiful! The staff was friendly, and the restaurant pretty good.

Would not recommend- will be staying else where next trip.
Lourdes, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

SBR check in was quick and easy, received a welcome drink when we showed up. Gil showed us to our room. Room was clean and comfy pools were refreshing. Shelia at the tiki bar and Edwin and the crew at the Gem Restaurant were awesome. See alot of comments on how far to resort, its really no further then trip to secret beach. Was a great stay and will stay again.
Chad, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was excellent. We stayed in a nice unit. Restaurant did not have enough choices. A little bit too far out on a dirt road but it was well worth the price. They were very helpful.
Al, 21-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing views and the staff were very friendly. Mosquitoes are TERRIBLE! This is not an exaggeration at all, but it felt like I got 100 of bites and people were surprised to see. The location is also very far from the center of town. If you plan to stay at the resort, then the distance won’t be an issue.
John Lee, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Property is way to far from town on unbearable sand roads using only gold carts. No transportation to and from anywhere
Jennifer, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

3 lovely dipping pools and a really cute Tiki Bar by the pools. The resort hosted a couple of special dinners highlighting Belizean cuisine. We had a beach view unit which was incredible but all the units were nicely situated- plantation style. Unfortunately Belize is far behind environmentally which has nothing to do with the resort. Practically nothing gets recycled. All the staff were amazing. Such kind and friendly people.
Kathleen, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is 15km from San Pedro and about a 40min golf cart ride. So if you want peace and quiet, this is the place. I would strongly suggest renting a golf cart for the week(better pricing) to get around. The location has one restaurant on property with friendly staff. Within walking distance is one other beach bar. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at the resort. They were super helpful and responsive to our needs. The two negatives are the location and secondly the Sandflies which were bad while we were there from Jan 5-19. One final note, before leaving San Pedro hit one of the grocery stores to stock up as the units do have a full kitchen. That way you will have some choice to get you started.
Peter, 14-night trip
