Sapphire Beach Resort sits on the quieter part of Ambergris Caye, surrounded by luscious palm tree forests. Many people pack a cooler full of beers and snacks for the adventurous ride up to Secret Beach. With smoothed roads, this stretch of beach on the western side of the island is a delight to experience. Or head down to the more lively town of San Pedro to experience the Belizean charm in restaurants, shops, boutiques, bars, and friendly locals.
When you arrive in Belize, you have the choice of taking a short 15-minute plane ride or a scenic public ferry to get to the island of Ambergris Caye. This island is one of the two islands in Belize where golf carts are the primary method of transportation over cars. You can arrange beforehand to acquire a golf cart rental or inquire with us about a private shuttle to head directly to your suite.
Guests are welcome to enjoy the resort's three open-air pools, a poolside bar, an on-site restaurant serving a variety of Belizean and Caribbean cuisine, and immediate beach access. Inquire further to try out spectacular diving, snorkeling, and kayaking on the crystal blue waters. Or choose a focused adventure on the outskirts to take a glimpse into ancient Maya architecture and diverse rainforests with iridescent flora and fauna.
Arranged tours and amenities (eg, mainland tours or massages) must be arranged before arrival with the front desk.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a travel crib.
