5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our time at the property and I personally would live there at the property. :-) The only things that drove me crazy was the grime and rust around the sink and all the mosquitos in the area. Couldn't enjoy the pool because the bugs kept on biting. You are literally attacked by them as soon as you walk out the door. Couldn't swim at the beach because of the seaweed, but there were people attempting to clean it up but you cant control the sea.
Also, the location of the property is located in Mexico Rock and about 45 minutes - 1 hour on a golf cart from the water taxi in san Pedro and depending on the weather conditions. Please take that into account when going.
Secret beach is about 20-30 minutes by golf cart.
Please purchase food in town before coming in as there are no markets and very limited food options in the area.
Overall, I would recommend if you want something quiet, secluded, and away from the hustle of the city.

The staff at this resort were very rude. And everything was about a money grab. I even had to remind the staff several times About the VIP package which included free breakfast . After having a disagreement with the front desk, employee, Lisandro, he then advised the Staff working at the dining restaurant to charge us for items that we previously were told we were included in the free breakfast package . He had the staff repeatedly come back and charges for different items after the disagreement . They claimed there was 24/7 available for assistance, but when we called for several different issues regarding our room, no one answered the phone until the next day around 10 AM. The air conditioner, and two out of three of the rooms were not working. We asked him to take a look at the toilet that would not flush, they sent a maintenance man who did not look and told us that it was fixed. We then had to ask him to go back and look at the bathroom, which then forced him to actually fix it. These people were rude and unprofessional, and I will not recommend this stay to anyone.
They tried to charge my card without my permission/authorization for an activity that I told them I was not going to partaken and was simply considering it. No written contract, nothing was agreed-upon for this activity, and because they were upset that they could not make that money, they proceeded to charge my card, even after I told them no. As someone who travels quite frequently, this was not great

IT is far from town so very quiet = nicely kept grounds- very friendly workers

The hotel was supposed to arrange transportation for us and had provided us with a voucher via email. However, we were unable to use the voucher when we arrived and had to purchase water taxi tickets. To make matters worse, the hotel transportation did not show up as planned. We had to hire a cab which was in a filthy condition, but it was the only one that could accommodate our party. To our dismay, the room door would not lock and the hotel staff's response was unhelpful, as they simply said, "there's a trick to it". Due to these issues, we decided to check out early the following morning.

5 days too long here.
To remote location, road is not maintained very uncomfortably ride off roading surfaces and must take it to get around.
No water taxis to and from this hotel.
Hotel is in need of maintenance, showers are in need of servicing requested and no change. Water trickles out. No pressure.
pool bottom needs repair paint worn off so gives the effect of algae but actually isn’t.
Tiki bar open when bar tenders shows up. They tell you specific hours but never the same, One day not open at all. So if you want a drink must go to small restaurant on property And that particular day other employee in restaurant does not know how to make drinks. Insufficient supplies. Ran out of pineapple juice and other items on menu.
Be sure to get a golf cart from San Pedro when you land prices can be negotiated to $35us a day weekly rate as at the hotel it is $75us daily and they do not have available carts on property at all times and you may find you ll be stuck without transportation as we did one day.
Taxis are $60us each way.
Recommend if you want to be this remote staying at a location with water taxi service you may pay more rate wise & resort fee includes Transfer back and forth daily. In the end you ll save money ie margarita ville or stay closer to San Pedro.
Caulker cay is suppose to be much nicer smaller easier to get around.
Positive weather was beautiful.
People are friendly.
Water and views amazing.
Next time not a next for me. ✔️ed off list.

Amazing resort. Beautiful white sand and ocean view. A very nice display on our bed for our anniversary. Amazing staff. Thank you
4.0 / 5.0
Location was perfect - gorgeous beach* and far from the traffic and crowds in town. Reasonable & fun ride (albeit a bit bumpy) to/from town if you wanted to go there.
Pros: full kitchen, in-room bottled water dispenser, decent mattress, bicycles.
Cons: The Cayes have a heartbreaking garbage problem. Piles of single-use plastic litter on beaches, road etc. The hotel employees rake it up from *beach with the sea grass and dump it on neighboring properties. They could be part of the solution by picking out the trash and properly disposing of it. They should also provide trash cans on beach and around property. Saw many visitors/owners trying to do their part!
Bring: bug spray (it is the tropics after all), reusable water bottles, ground coffee, and as many groceries as you can fit. (Food prices in Belize are high, and variety is low). I implore you NOT to buy/accept drinks in plastic bottles - as it will likely wind up in beach or ocean here. (Glad the resort has that dispenser,)

This place's so quiet, which I like. Dark gets so fast, and you can’t hear anything except wind. Beach is beautiful, but you could not swim in the sea because it is dangerous. The facility did not recognise VIP status and didn’t upgrade my room. First, I received the room with no lock on a balcony door at all. I asked to change my room and waited more than 3 hours to get it done. In that room, the blanket had a big bloody stain right on the top. I was completely exhausted to ask a staff for help because they promised and never did. So… I just went to previous rooms and switched blankets. After I got a key for a new room, I realized that it fits for any room, which is not safe. The resort has 3 swimming pools, but one of them was officially closed, and I would never put my foot in another one with dirty water. Third one had a clean water. Be aware those pools are really small. This resort located around 40 minutes driving from town. I did not rent a golf cart for mobility because the road was with huge pedals, and I saw how carts stacked in the middle.
3.0 / 5.0
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.

Property is way to far from town on unbearable sand roads using only gold carts. No transportation to and from anywhere
0.5 / 5.0
Firstly, this location IS NOT close to San Pedro.7 miles on this island takes over an hour and will cost at least 25USD each way. if you want to spend all your trip bumping about in a golf cart, this should be considered.
Secondly I was very disappointed with the customer service. While friendly, they ultimately offer no flexibility with answers to your questions.
Serious considerations when booking.

We loved Sapphire Beach Resort both the staff and property! We could not say better things about both. We definitely will be back.

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.
4.0 / 5.0
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.

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.

5.0 / 5.0
The beach was obliterated by the weeds that arrived with every wave. The water was shallow and cloudy. Taking a boat to the reefs was perfect fir seeing fish. The drive from town was long and bumpy. All food in Belize is pretty basic but homemade. There is plenty of local fish and Mennonite grown vegetables. No variety. Weather temperatures were perfect but a strong breeze every day to keep you cool. The beaches on the west side of the island are seaweed free and beautiful.
Sapphire Beach personnel were wonderful. Unit was a little dated and used inside.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

The staff was very friendly & helpful. Loved the peaceful, quiet location for a relaxing two night stay on the beach. Gem restaurant provided consistently good food. The full kitchen was great for preparing drinks & snacks.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
4.0 / 5.0
The property is beautiful, staff was great (friendly and helpful) and the food was delicious. There were just some minor things that kept me from leaving a 5 star review - (1) we asked for extra towels and soap, as we only had one towel for shower and pool, but I had to ask 3 times and when they brought it, it was only the towels, (2) there was no coffee provided in the room so we had to go to town to buy our own - the problem is this resort is pretty far from everything, so it’s not too easy to do that, (3) the headboard on our bed was loose and hit the wall anytime we moved during our sleep and (4) the beach is beautiful, but they need to work on cleaning the seaweed that accumulates.

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.

Our stay was amazing! We just underestimated how far the resort was from town. The food at the resort was amazing and the people were very nice. I am definitely happy with my stay. Free birthday shots at the tiki bar!

Yes it’s remote, but that’s exactly what we were hoping for. Staff is fantastic (Kenya, Aaron, Eric, security guys, etc).

We had a great time at Sapphire Beach Resort, all of the staff were friendly and accommodating, Kenya went above and beyond to help us in our planning, but all the staff we encountered were great! It is a good ride up the island to get to the resort, but we enjoyed the adventure when we went into San Pedro and made the most of all that the north end of the island had to offer!
2.5 / 5.0
really like the remoteness and silence. The staff is attentive and thorough.
The road condition is a challenge but the private, beautiful beaches, and lack of solicitors on the beach make it worth the trip.

It was a dump. Shame on Expedia for promoting this property. Warped floors, curtains broken and hanging. Mold. Unsafe, windows don’t lock. The safe provided was not bolted, you could pick it u and walk away. Mattresses and pallets in the hallway. The worst property I have ever experienced.

Everyone at the Sapphire Resort was wonderful. Emma and Nicki were both awesome and always had a smile on their faces and we really enjoyed visiting with them. We met Eron on his second night of starting the job and he was also very nice and was trying very hard to do a good job - which he did! All of the food we had was great and really enjoyed the daily happy hour!
I had seen people mention the sea grass on reviews before we went but it did not stop us from having a great time. They had people working continuously removing it from the beach and we were still able to get in the water and swim and snorkle. We also enjoyed the kayaks and loved being able to kayak out to the reef and do some snorkeling. To us this place was exactly what we wanted and needed. If you are looking for some place quiet and out of the way to unwind with great staff I would totally recommend it. Thank you Sapphire staff for a great stay!

Staff were fantastic and condo was very nice. Food was good. Be prepared for biting bugs and be sure to come prepared as town is a long way away. But very nice place if you want a quiet and relaxing vacation!

The resort it’s self is beautiful we had the beach front and it was everything and more. The staff was so friendly and catered to our every need. I would definitely recommend it and I will go back. Just know that it is far away from the San Pedro city and you have to rent a golf cart to get around. The golf cart rode to the city center is about 45 minutes. The roads are unpaved to its a very bumpy ride. But even with all that I would do it all over again.

The stay at Sapphire was a wonderful experience. I totally recommend it to anyone. They have the same attention for both tourists and locals. I loved it ❤.

The sapphire beach resort is a laid back vacation spot. It’s not a partying location, but great for couples or families. Unit 18 was charming, clean and everything we expected and needed. The staff was very helpful. The beach had sargasso seaweed, which made it unpleasant to swim in, but the kayaks and
paddle boards . The on-site Gem restaurant was very good and there are other beaches and restaurants within a 10-30 minute golf cart ride. It is approximately 45 minutes to San Pedro, so if’s that's were you want to be most times, sapphire may not be for you.

Sapphire Resort is a beautiful property to stay at while in Belize. Although there is still lots of constructions taking place Im the resort grounds, much of the property is kept in great order with garden beds, several pools and a gorgeous ocean/beach view. The best part that I enjoyed the most while staying at Sapphire was the staff. They were extremely transparent with everything and were three steps ahead of the game when it came to scheduling room cleanings (COVID-19) as well as arranging for transports, assisting with activities, and even renting out a golf cart with gas that’s included. I’ve had absolutely no complaints about this location at all but one should truly do research before booking as it is extremely far north of the actual town which can make for very long trips to/from. The roads leading up to the resort are not paved; they are dirt roads with a massive amount of large potholes which makes your cart ride very bumpy and long as you have to continuously slow down and stop. If you want to come to Belize and get away while on the busy island of San Pedro, this is the place for you. It’s quiet and reserved with a very nice tiki bar and restaurant. It’s very close (15 min drive) to the Secret Beach which is a local gem. Enjoy your stay. You will not be disappointed.
