The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5! Amazing beachside view!!! Staff was very hospitable and helpful. They assisted us when our golf cart left us stranded in town and always greeted us with a smile when we returned safely. The ride to SanPedro was a tad long and bumpy- but that was all part of the experience- as were the plentiful mosquitoes, given the fact that it was the rainy season. All things considered we had great weather!! We enjoyed fun snorkeling experiences and appreciated dining recommendations from Sapphire staff and other locals. We also used the cooking facilities in th house as well. The VRBO hostess was helpful with travel details and was prompt with her communication and throughly answered all our questions. The Sapphire staff and affiliates were extremely helpful with planning our travel details- from taxi driver to boat tickets to a shuttle ride with grocery store stop. Everything went smoothly!! Once we arrived the warm Central American hospitality was unbeatable.

First off the Villa is literally front and center on the beach looking at the ocean and the pier. The beauty alone is captivating. The home is adorable, has everything you need. Beds were very comfortable, the porches in the front and back were thoughtfully appointed with all you need. Two steps out the back door is the ocean and two steps out the front is the pool. Truly one of the very best villas I have ever stayed in. Sapphire Beach staff were wonderful and are willing to help at all times. Sally was very responsive any time I had a question. Staying in this Villa really made our vacation. Yes it's a bit far from San Pedro, but driving the golf carts are a blast and gives you opportunity to breathe the fresh air and see the sites of Belize along the way. The food at the Gem is incredible - this really is a golden spot. Thank you Sally for sharing your home and making our trip extra special! Amazing place!!

Really great property with staff that went above and beyond. They helped put together a birthday surprise while we were out one day. **The only downside would be the sargassum that was pretty heavy during our stay, but we did know there was a chance of that and did not change how much we loved our stay. Front desk, housekeeping were all fantastic. Wilbur was our favorite.

Our accommodations were wonderful, very clean. And exactly as expected. Very relaxing and the information given to us by the owner after booking was exactly as described. The area restaurants were delicious Portofino and Metachia fantastic! A must go! Also the Bilizean Food Tour, wonderful a must. Secret Beach very welcoming and a nice experience.

The Sapphire Beach was exactly as advertised. The cottage (villa 11) we had was right on the beach with beautiful views of the water. Having coffee on the covered patio was wonderful. Swimming off the beach or dock terrific. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Realistically, it’s a bit of a drive by golf cart into San Pedro but an easy one. Thank you all for a great vacation.

Really enjoyed our time- Loved getting to know the employees working there that work very hard for the resort! Great 63 days of paradise!

While the property was very nice, the service was abysmal! The greatest problem was with the Gem Restaurant. On our final night, we decided to go to the restaurant, as they had gotten lobsters that day. We arrived at 5:00 pm and were never served our food until after 7:15. The lobsters offered were quite small and the waitstaff quoted a price of $50.00 US per lobster. Needless to say, we did not have those. When we arrived, we were the only diners in the restaurant. Still, it took us over half an hour to have our drink order filled. We had to repeatedly ask the waiter (Sergio) to take our dinner order. After that, a total of eight people came into the restaurant and ordered after us. All of their food came before ours. When the food finally came, my dinner was cold, and my husband found a wingless fly crawling around in his dinner. He sent it back to the kitchen, untouched and the waiter was singularly uncaring. At the end of the meal, we were charged for that dinner. Also, our drink glasses were never cleared and we had to take them up to the bar ourselves. After asking repeatedly for the check, we had to wait an additional 10 minutes for Sergio to bring the check, after he took another newcomer's order for drinks. After getting the check and letting the bartender (Luce) know of our dissatisfaction with everything, she said it was not her fault. I am frankly amazed that the owners of this establishment continue to be in business with such terrible staffing.

If you want a stay away from the hustle and bustle, then Sapphire Beach Resort is it. Many days, it felt like we had our own personal beach. The staff is great, the food at the restaurant is fantastic, hard working folks cleaning the area every day. Maid service daily, the only negative is the trash that floats in on the north side of the island. Although the resort clean it up daily , what washes up on the beach, it was sad to see it all in the water.
