About this property

CASITA ON THE SHORES OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA.

A one bedroom casita within a secluded beach resort. 10 miles north of the town of San Pedro on the island of Ambergris Caye in Belize. Maximum 4 people. Quoted rates are for 2 adults and 2 children. Or 3 adults. (Maximum three adults and four people total)

A self-contained unit on the second floor with stairs and a view of three pools and a garden view, 100 steps from the Caribbean Sea. Large front balcony with ceiling fan, table and chairs, Chaise lounge chairs, over looking the pools and smaller balcony on the back looking over the Belize landscape.

There is a self-contained kitchen with an oven, stove top, microwave, fridge, and freezer. Fully equipped with cooking and eating utensils , espresso machine, grilled sandwich machine, blender, toaster, and rice maker. Water cooler.

It has a large shower, air conditioning, and ceiling fans. Fully Furnished. T.V (no satellite or cable but streaming T.V), DVD player,iPod dock. WiFi internet access in the unit and in public areas. Roku to stream programming on the bedroom T.V, as well as a Smart flat-screen T.V. in the living area. There is also a Nintendo Wii with games.

My unit has a safe and localized alarm system with sensors on the back and front doors. Night time security patrols the resort grounds.

Our unit has access free of charge to the resort kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes on a limited first come, first serve basis.

One queen bed in the bedroom as well as a queen fold out sofa. Housekeeping is provided by the resort. Pre-arrival and departure cleanings are done with a fee added at booking. Additional cleaning can be requested for a cost. Towels, linens provided.

Relax by one of the three pools (one is aduots only) or swim in the sea. Snorkel offshore. The world's second longest reef is just offshore from our location.(Sargassum does randomly hit Belize as it does in Mexico and the Caribbean). Enjoy the restaurant and pool bar.

Take a tour, dive, or snorkel with the resorts partnership with a PADI and SSI Certified tour company. Please check with the resort for rates. Or just relax, read on the beach, and sip a cocktail.

Also you can rent a golf cart and take the road. Golf carts can be rented hourly, daily, or weekly. Please inquire with the resort on availability and rates. You can also rent your own cart in town if you want to shop rates. The roads up north can get quite bumpy and are an adventure in themselves. They tend to get pot holes. If they don't get graded enough. During rainy periods, they can get standing water. There are very few paved roads on the island, apart from closer to town. Check with the resort of road conditions.

There is a small restaurant at the resort that makes delicious food and the best cocktails, you can order food to your unit, eat in the restaurant, poolside or have a romantic dinner on the beach, or get food from San Pedro and cook yourself. Grocery delivery can also be organized through the resort for a fee. Our location is secluded in a beautiful northern part of the island. The golf cart ride will take around 45 to 50 minutes and a van transfer will be quicker. The island has many beautiful locations to explore or just relax at the resort by the pool or on the beach.

I collect Local Government taxes and fees, which will show up on your booking. I pay this amount directly to the resort/Government and have no control over this.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions about the unit, resort, or surrounding area. Ask me about Ambergris Caye, San Pedro, and Belize. I can answer questions about travel, excursions, and tours. I want your stay to be enjoyable and stress free, so communication is key.

The property was lovely. Staff was great. The resort wasn’t staffed very well. They were short and it made the restaurant in the bar, not be open for a lot of the time and things close down. It could be due to later in the season and it was a lot farther than we anticipated from the main area other than that, it was wonderful perhaps earlier in the season it would be a little bit better. We would go back if that were the case.

Thank you for your review and are glad you liked the property and your stay. You visited Belize the low season and the restaurant/bar hours in site are reduced during low season when there is low occupancy. There are also other locations a short distance from the resort that offer food and drink. We would love to welcome you back.

Thank you for your comments. I wish you had let us know during your stay if you had any issues, and we could have helped resolve them. The road unfortunately gets bumpy during rainy periods which we can't control, but any issue with the unit we could look into with communication and a bit more detail. Unfortunately even though we communicated with you to check in, before, during and after your stay, you never responded. We will look into the issues you listed.

Apartment is in good condition.The condos ammenities are OK.Beach is clean.But, 9 miles from San Pedro in terrible roads to get there make it really hard to enjoy.It takes 1.5 hours ro get there from San Pedro in a golf car.Jason and the staff do they best to make you feel at home..But, rhe fact is that this is way to far if you want to go explore the island.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Dec, 2025
Thank you tor your review. Unfortunately Jorge ignored all my communications prior to their arrival. He did not read my manual and did not contact the resort or even look at the location. He told me in the U.S, 9 miles takes 10 mins by car. He arrived late at night into San Pedro without communication and messaged me asking where to go and how to get in contact with the resort. The drive in normal conditions 35 to 45 minutes depending on how adventurous you are. And the beautiful location is a plus for most people. I did offer him a refund as he wanted to be in town, but after visiting San Pedeo he said he liked our resort more as it was too busy in town and the drive wasn't bad during the daytime. A lot of accommodations have seawalls in town now and no beach, another plus for our northern location. It is important to know the area you want to stay in and book accordingly.

We did enjoy our stay. Overall the resort is great! Staff are amazing. We rented a golf cart and didn't mind the drive into San Pedro despite the rough patches and potholes in the roads. We just considered it part of the adventure. We just had a few issues within the unit. We had to have housekeeping help with padding the mattress. It is very hard and has no cushion left. My husband actually slept on a patio chair cushion on top of the mattress. Even with the padding provided (a 2nd mattress pad and a thin blanket... there was already one mattress pad on the bed) sleeping was pretty rough. The futon has also seen better days and is not comfortable to sit on. We used the other patio chair cushion on the futon when we were sitting down. Lastly the refrigerator is very loud. I noticed a previous review about the refrigerator as well and didn't think much about it, but it is definitely loud. With all that being said, we still enjoyed our stay immensely and absolutely fell in love with Belize. We will definitely be returning!

Thank you Loretta for you review, we are so glad you enjoyed yourself so much, that you will return, there is no better compliment. I am sorry you found the bed mattress and sofa cushions not as soft as you prefer. We always have additional padded mattress pads available but have never had anyone request them to make it softer. One guest requested the manufacturer of the mattress as she said it was the best sleep she had, had and wanted to purchase the same one for her home. I suppose everyone has different tastes. We hope to see you back in beautiful Belize.

Sapphire Bay is a lovely, very well-maintained and secure resort. The staff are the most friendly and helpful people we have met. Everyone works hard to make your stay enjoyable. Eddy, in the office, booked excursions and our flights to Belize City for us. Wilbert, worked at the Tiki Bar and anywhere else he was needed. Felt like family!9c is a nice, clean, little unit. Everything two people need. Water and coffee was supplied. TV was appreciated as there were a few cooler nights. It's not ocean front which was actually good as we had some windy days. There are 3 pools that are spotless! We had a balcony that overlooks the pool and we enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sun each morning. The location is remote but we loved exploring the area and had great fun snorkeling, driving our cart to Secret Beach and up north to other resorts. San Pedro is only 40 minutes away so easy to explore and have meals there as well. Jason, the host, was responsive to any questions we had and supplied us with ample information prior to our visit. We are in our 60's and very active and the resort does have an older, but active clientele. We enjoyed meeting people as it's a very friendly community and many people stay long term or return each year. So, if you are looking for a quiet location as a home base to enjoy excursions, explore on a golf cart and meet great people 50 you will enjoy this location.

Comforts of home with ease of a resort

We loved this location, further from crowds but enough restaurants and things to do to keep us busy and entertained. When we booked we didn’t realize that this rental also comes with daily cleaning and some of the best resort staff you’ll find. Was perfect for spending the day on their beach, using their kayaks and enjoying both the tiki bar and restaurant. Surrounding restaurants were great too! My boys ages 8 and 13 had a great time!

Gem of a Property on Ambergris Caye

This is a wonderful resort north of San Pedro and Ambergris Caye. It's well maintained, and the staff were truly amazing! Our room was a tad smaller than we realized but it worked great and coming during the normal off-season we pretty much had the place to ourselves, including the use of the (2) regular pools. You can easily rent a golf-cart from here to cruise to such spots as Secret Beach or the Truck Stop. It was a great location for a fun family vacation and thanks again for offering it up!

Loved that we were away from the hustle n bustle..the unit was on the edge of the often wonky wi-fi, but so what-we were there to "unplug" loved the staff, made so many new friends. When I read some of the comments of others, I was grateful for the comforts and also the "wildness" of Sapphire Beach. Tankless hot water, the nearby mercados with fruit, the help of the staff when I couldn't get the coffeemaker to work..I wished I could be blessed to live here year round..can't wait to return...
