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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Peter

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.

Angelina

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.

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.

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,)

Liked: Amenities
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.
