I enjoyed my stay at Sapphire Beach Resort, appreciating the friendly staff and clean unit, though the beach conditions were less than ideal due to seaweed. The remoteness made accessing town a challenge, requiring a golf cart, and the dining options on-site were quite limited. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, but there are a few factors to consider before booking.

My stay at Sapphire Beach Resort was a good mix of tranquility and beautiful surroundings. The staff was incredibly friendly and dedicated, though the remote location and transport logistics could be a hassle. The amenities were impressive, especially the pools, but the beach situation was affected by seagrass. Overall, I would recommend it for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

I stayed in a one-bedroom villa with a clean layout and a nice tile shower, though the futon was a bit rustic for extra guests. The room was basic but well-maintained and directly across from one of the three pools, making it convenient.

The resort’s location felt remote, which was nice for peace, but also meant long travel times to town. I strongly recommend renting a golf cart to navigate the bumpy roads and reach nearby attractions like Secret Beach.

Dining at Gem was a pleasure, with reasonably priced meals that never felt like a rip-off. The cuisine was decent overall, though options were somewhat limited.

The facilities were well-kept, including multiple pools and stunning grounds that were cleaned daily. However, be prepared for some seaweed along the shore, which doesn't help the visual aspect.

I had a lovely stay at Sapphire Beach Resort, with excellent staff and a good on-site restaurant. However, the seaweed problem severely impacted my beach experience, making swimming nearly impossible. The remote location is a plus for some, but the long, bumpy ride to San Pedro can be a hassle. Overall, it was a relaxing escape, though I wish the beach situation had been better.

While the resort is beautiful and remote, the 45-minute bumpy ride to San Pedro can be challenging. It's quiet, which I appreciated, but information about the road conditions should be emphasized for future guests.
