3-star oceanfront resort in Ambergris Caye

Accommodations

Guests can choose from Sea Front Suites featuring king-sized beds, a full kitchen, and private balconies overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The large two-bedroom Pool View Villas also provide partial sea views, making them suitable for families or groups.

Location

Located approximately 10 miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Sapphire Beach Resort provides easy access to both the tranquil beach and local attractions. The resort is only a 25-minute boat ride from downtown San Pedro, allowing guests to explore the vibrant town life easily. Guests can also request complimentary airport or water taxi pickups upon arrival.

Dining Options

Gem Restaurant offers Caribbean and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a focus on fresh local ingredients. Guests can enjoy meals alongside stunning views of the ocean or opt for in-room dining for added convenience. The Tiki Bar serves refreshing cocktails made with locally-sourced fruits and liquors.

Adventure and Activities

Sapphire Beach Resort specializes in arranging personalized activities such as private boat charters to the famous Blue Hole. Guests can also join guided tours for cave tubing, ziplining, and snorkeling at the Belize Barrier Reef. Fishing packages, including reef and deep-sea options, are available to explore local hotspots.

Wellness Amenities

The resort features Rose's Spa, offering a full menu of massages and treatments that can be enjoyed on the beach or in the guest's villa. Wellness options include relaxation therapies designed to relieve tension and promote tranquility. Guests can choose to pre-book treatments or arrange them during their stay.

Highlights

Location: 10 miles north of San Pedro

Accommodations: Sea Front Suites and Pool View Villas

Dining: Gem Restaurant and Tiki Bar

Adventure: Private boat charters and dive trips

“The property strikes me as a quiet escape on Ambergris Caye, where the emphasis is on the natural surroundings and private beachfront. I noted the villas come equipped with full kitchens, making them suitable for longer stays and families, despite the distance from town requiring some planning for supplies. I think the on-site amenities like the pools and dining are adequate, especially the Saturday BBQ, although transportation is a must for exploring the wider area.”
