10 out of 10 would recommend!
Pros:

I recently took a 12 day trip to Sapphire beach. I traveled with my wife and kids and I must rave about the staff! All the members of the staff were truly amazing and very accommodating especially WiFi! He went out of his way on a day after work to take me out fishing in a kayak! What an amazing experience!!! The location was absolutely beautiful! The crew works very hard to keep the resort clean! It was very peaceful and never too loud.

A long (bumpy) road to paradise.
Pros:

This was a fantastic resort with helpful and friendly staff. A little bit off the beaten path with a long ride on a bumpy road! Which isn’t too bad once you sink into the quiet relaxing spaces - pools, including an adult only pool, beach front views, and wonderful dining options on site and near by.

Too far, not worth it
Pros:

The staff are probably the best part of this place. It does have a nice view of the ocean from the balcony. The palm trees all around the area give it a very tropical feel and looks beautiful.
If it wasn't for Eddie going above and beyond for us, I probably would've rated this much lower. He was truly exceptional and so thankful for all his help.

Cons:

The A/C in the living room did not cool enough so we had to keep the one in the room fully running at all times to make up for the living room, otherwise it got too warm.
The cealing fan handle was so high up with no string and impossible to reach. The area fan provided did not even work which we needed since the living room A/C was not cooling enough. The microwave also did not work so we were unable to warm up leftovers there. Thankfully the stove did work though.

Unfortunately, the location of the property was also extremely inconvenient and far from everything. It took us about 45 minutes just getting there from the ferry or "water taxi" as they call it which you must take if you are coming from Belize City.
You cannot go to a store or any other restaurants because they are too far. Be prepared to either take a taxi, rent a car or rent a golf cart and you will spend some time driving to get anywhere. If I had known this, I wouldn't have booked here.
As if that all wasn't enough, we couldn't even go to the beach or get in the water because there was a massive wall of seaweed. I'm not even exaggerating. That was the whole point of staying by the beach is to enjoy the water and we couldn't even do that.
Its very sad because the property itself is beautiful, but I would not stay here again.

Coming back! :)
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredible—so friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They truly made our vacation special.
The beach was beautiful, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The location was also ideal—about 40 minutes from town—so it was nice and quiet, which made it even more enjoyable for a laid-back vacation.
Our apartment unit was fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay. It felt comfortable and convenient, and we really appreciated having all the essentials available.
There were also small grocery stores within walking distance, which made it easy to grab anything we needed without having to travel far.
A special shout-out to one employee, Wifi who was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly kind, always had a smile, and went out of his way to help us—especially when it came to arranging fishing. His helpfulness and positive attitude really stood out and made our experience even better.
Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would most definitely go there again!

Great Resort
Pros:

This was our first visit to Sapphire Beach Resort. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a warm smile from Eddie at the front desk. He then took us for a walk through the resort and explained all the . amenities. All the rooms have great views either of the ocean or the three pools on the property. The property was well kept by all the maintenance workers who work so hard every day to keep the place clean. The room we stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Everyone on the resort treats you like Family. There was one worker in maintenance named Wifi that went over and above to make your stay enjoyable. He would take you out fishing bring you fresh coconuts, and sugar cane and always had a smile in his face. This young man worked so hard everyday so our beach was clean. We has such a great experience that we will be back next year. Thank you to all the stuff that made our month visit enjoyable.

Wonderful resort and people
Pros:

We just returned from a 28 night stay at Saphire Beach Resort. Overall we were very happy with the resort. We stayed in a one bedroom, ground floor,pool view suite. The room was very well equipped for a long, self catering stay. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioners worked great. We really liked that we were just a few steps from both the pools and the beach. The beach is truly gorgeous but the water was very murky the whole time we were there. It was a 30 minute, very scenic golf cart ride north to Tranquility Bay where the water was very nice and the snorkeling was decent. The resort grounds and pools were beautiful and well maintained by their very friendly landscaping staff. We appreciated having a good restaurant and bar on site. There were many good restaurants just a short golf cart ride away. We really enjoyed the good fishing off the dock and the great fishing out of the kayaks.
Come to the island prepared for the no-see-ums as they can be ferocious.
A special shout out to Wi Fi for getting us set up for fishing. He was always smiling and helping everyone with whatever they needed. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
If we go back to Ambergris Caye we would definitely stay at this resort.

People and services amazing!!! Infrastructure, food and trash all over the island were disgusting!
Pros:

The water and vews were amazing! Even though the property is only eight miles from the main town, it takes around one hour to get there. The roads are in horrible condition and you must rent a golf cart to get there! Groceries are extremely expensive and expired!
On the other hand, the workers in the resort were amazing. Number one happy guy WILFRIDO! He is always so happy and willing to help. Wilbert, the bartender at the pools was also incredible! I enjoy the stay put want to warn people about the sand flies and trash everywhere! The only clean area was by the resort because Wilfrido and his coworkers keep it so clean!

Another great stay at Sapphire Beach!!
Pros:

This was our second visit to Ambergris Caye and second time at Sapphire Beach Resort. We had such a great experience with welcoming staff the first time, it was a no brainer to choose anywhere else. It is far from town, a 40 minute airport car transfer or 60 minute golf cart ride but worth it to be closer to the reef and further from the crowds. Eddie in hospitality is very friendly, was invaluable with helping us set up our accommodations, arranging transport and setting up tours. We were thrilled to find “WiFi” Wilfredo still working there, both of our trips he has been very welcoming with his infectious smile, he shared his love of the island with us, he went every mile to make sure our stay was comfortable with helping us get our kayaks situated, cutting down fresh coconuts for our kids to drink from and even had us try sugar cane! He also gave us some tips on fishing including good kayak spots. Eric takes great care with the landscaping and fun to talk to, Will is such a friendly and welcoming bartender and Silvino keeps the perimeter safe and welcomes you back from your daily travels. Sad to leave but excited to return. Thanks for another great vacation!!

Spectacular Resort perfect to get away !!!!
Pros:

The location is a little bit far away from the main city but worth it. All employees are amazing, incredible atmosphere, clean room and around the resort. Indescriptible birds and ocean sound. Great activities to enjoy outdoors like paddle board, kayak, snorkeling, etc. We really had an unforgettable time.

Serene Getaway
Pros:

I liked location away from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro. Accommodations were perfect for me and my friend traveling - 2bedroom with unsuited bathrooms with sea views. Falling asleep with the sound of the sea was delicious..

Cons:

The beach is not really swimmable and it trashy outside of the resort area. This has to do with the trash issues in central America more than the accommodations. But if you are looking for pristine beach conditions you will have to head to Secret Beach about 40.minute golf cart ride away.

Very peaceful stay!
Pros:

The staff were amazing and did everything they could to help me with anything I needed during my stay. Everyone was very friendly! Far enough away from everything to be really peaceful.

Cons:

The weather had the adult pool shut down and even though the beach was right outside I couldn't enjoy it. Nothing anyone coudo about that though

Fazit: für uns in Belize der beste Aufenthalt - wir würden definitiv wieder herkommen.
Pros:

Die Ferienwohnungen werden durch das Ressort vermietet, gehören (soweit wir es mitbekommen haben) aber den Eigentümer, die diese auch verschieden gestalten. Unsere Wohnung 18B war liebevoll eingerichtet und wir haben uns ab dem ersten Tag heimisch gefühlt. Alle Mitarbeiter des Ressorts waren super freundlich und haben uns jederzeit versucht zu helfen und unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Nachts gab es einen Wachmann, der regelmäßig seine Runden drehte und äußerst wachsam war. Die Poolanlagen (insgesamt 3) waren sauber und es hat uns echt Spaß gemacht uns darin abzukühlen. Spiele, Kayaks und weitere Sachen gab es kostenlos an der Rezeption.

Cons:

Einziger Nachteil, (ohne dass das Resort was dafür kann) war die Straße in den Norden (das Hotel ist etwa 40 Fahrminuten von San Pedro entfernt), die zu dieser Jahreszeit noch nicht aufgeschüttet wurde. Zur Hauptsaison wohl nicht so ein Problem.
