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 was convenient to scuba dive from this resort, because a local dive shop picks up divers right from the resort’s dock. Food was delicious and the accommodations were very comfortable and beautiful. Super nice staff.
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.
Sapphire Beach Resort appears to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking a peaceful and comfortable beachfront retreat with outstanding service and amenities. While its location is a bit removed from town, this contributes to its tranquil atmosphere.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.

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.
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.
Beautiful resort. From sunrise over the Caribbean to the three pools on site, Gem restaurant and the happy friendly staff it was an amazing week in Belize.
