This is a lovely property away from the hustle, crowds and noise of San Pedro. The journey north is totally worth it! We were aware that Sapphire Beach Resort is 9.5 miles north of town and had the proper mindset for the somewhat arduous trek via a golf cart full of luggage. A golf cart rental is a must. We used “Avis” and they were waiting for us at the airport upon arrival. Great service & communication.
All the resort staff are friendly and responsive. We were especially appreciative to the young men who work so hard to keep the grounds & beach clean. We made sure to extend a gratuity as well as a verbal “thanks.” The food at the resort was delicious. We highly recommend the happy hour and Saturday night BBQ. Because the beaches in Belize are not long, walkable stretches of sand, we frequently enjoyed the pools, relaxed on the beach loungers, used the kayaks and even played horseshoes. We also loved listening to the birds and watching the iguanas.
The condo is clean, suitably equipped and perfect for a couple or couple with one or two small children. The welcome manual and communication from the owner were excellent. The kitchen was spacious and we easily prepared several meals there. The king bed is made up of two twin mattresses and we found it very comfortable. The futon couch was easily converted to a full size bed and best suited for kids or smaller individuals. There are two bathrooms which is very convenient. However, the water pressure in the master bath is so low that we showered in the other restroom. Not a big deal. Housekeeping was great — replaced towels, sheets, soap, shampoo and drinking water as needed. The washer/dryer unit was a bonus - allows you to pack a little lighter!
We’d recommend this condo without hesitation to anyone visiting Ambergris Caye!
