As advertised, this apartment was cozy, luxurious and perfect for a romantic weekend (in our case) in paradise. The staff was VERY friendly, kind and so happy to help us book, re-book and find the activities that were just right for us. The snorkeling trip to Holchan (coral reef) was beautiful and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and delighted to share the treasure of the marine reserve. The only setback we faced was the sea-grass which built up on the shore by the resort. Apparently, it's a seasonal thing so maybe we'll go in the summer next time. The apartment was well maintained and the staff even did our dishes. Ideally, we could have used a few more pans but we're big cookers. And the kitchen in the restaurant let us borrow a couple things we needed. They sent us an introductory booklet about the island and the resort which helped us to prepare and execute the week in a way that worked just right for us. Tips: buy the weekly boat pass from the resort to San Pedro; it pays for itself really fast since Sapphire Beach is pretty far from town. Take a bike or golf cart north from the resort; the road is ridiculously beautiful. And do your own grocery shopping; we ended up going to Mata Grande a couple of times anyway. Mata Grande is not that far away and unless your days are packed with excursions, it's not that hard to get to by golf cart. We were surprised to find a lack of fresh fish available outside of the restaurants and fishing excursions (where you could catch your own). But, we were there during conch season and made a fantastic conch ceviche; a Belizean favorite. Also, use the bikes. They're free and fun! We had the most incredible week staying there, are extremely pleased with the facilities, staff, apartment and experience. Can't WAIT to go back! Thank you, Lisa!
