The property and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the distance from the town of San Pedro. Ten miles is a lot when the mode of transportation is a golf cart and the road is bumpy and dusty. However, if you’re looking to get away from the town and just have a relaxing trip, there is no place better than Sapphire Beach Resort.

Tiki bar well stocked, Super helpful staff, unit decor eclectic, but very clean. Food atGem restaurant fabulous. Can walk to other locations from resort. Can take a cart anywhere from there. Get cart from town if you can, resort prices are really high. Can book excursions from resort and super helpful that way. Ask for beach front, views are awesome.

It is definitely a long treck on a bumpy rd with a golf cart to get there. But once you're there it's a pretty nice place to unwind and get away from everything. Definitely stop by one of the supermarkets on your way out to stock up on supplies. But if you don't the restaurant has very delicious breakfast, lunch and dinners at a very reasonable price. All of the staff was very polite and helpful with anything we needed. Will most definitely stay there again on our next visit out that way.

Although 10 miles on Ambergris Caye is a long travel time, Sapphire beach Resort is worth the drive. The staff is willing to help with accommodations of flights from Belize City, transport from San Pedro to the resort, and renting a golf cart. Being away from San Pedro gives you relaxation when you want it and it is close enough to enjoy the city as well. Would visit again!

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.

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.

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!

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.
