Dear David, We are so sorry to hear of your travel experience in Belize. Your review though, we feel is not accurate or fair, and we are disappointed that you would write something like this when you never contacted us nor did not show up for your stay. When you made your last minute booking through Hotels.com we were excited to host you so you could experience all we have to offer. We always strongly encourage guests to contact the resort prior to their stay so we can provide all relavent information and help arrange and book transfers for you. The only time you reached out to us was when you called after you arrived in San Pedro, were we gave your multiple options to transfer to the resort and offered to arrange it for you, which you declined, stating you would rent a golf cart yourselves. Yes you can travel to the resort via golf cart as many guests do, but also by a shuttle service, taxi or water taxi. We recommend if it is your first time in San Pedro that you let us arrange your transfers for you. There are many options that range in price and convenience. Traveling at night in a golf cart on a road that has no lighting and pot holes is not the best way to transfer but you did decline our offers to arrange another form of transport. I am not sure who at the airport told you it was unsafe to travel, but there are always other Resorts and Hotels who are vying for your business and are happy to dissuade you from your plans and book elsewhere. You never called again and did not arrive at the resort and we heard nothing more from you. At no time did you call us and let us know where you were or what was happening, even though our front office staff waited for your arrival. At no time did you request any refund from the resort or explain your concerns.

Estimado Don Pedro Gracias por seleccionarnos durante su visita a Belice. Nos alegra ver que tuvo una estancia placentera y que disfrutaron de nuestros servicios. Nuestra ubicación, si bien algo apartada del centro es ideal para todos aquellos que busquen descansar en un ambiente paradisiado, lejos del ruido de la ciudad y del ajetreo rutinario. Nuestro personal siempre atento, mantiene la playa en perfectas condiciones, aunque en momentos es posible que encuentre seagras. Le agradecemos por sus comentarios y nos encantaría poder servirle nuevamente y corregir cualquier inconveniente de su primer visita. Saludos.

Dear Adriano, thank you for your wonderful review, we really appreciate it. We loved having you with us, please come back, anytime! The Sapphire Team

Hi Janice, as we mentioned to you repeatedly, we apologize for the hiccups you encountered during your arrival to the country. Sadly, neither of those issues gives you a right to berate staff and the property and still expect a full refund for not wanting to stay for your entire reservation. The water taxi terminal did not accept your water taxi voucher for some reason, so you were reimbursed for your original purchase, and you did not have a double charge for this. Therefore, that issue was resolved. You opted to take a random taxi you found instead of waiting for the one scheduled for you. The state of a public taxi vehicle you selected on your own is not the resort's responsibility nor something you can expect us to remedy on your behalf. The door you repeatedly claimed was damaged was not, and staff showed you how to lock the door as well; there was security on site from 6PM - 6AM, with whom you also interacted. Upon arrival, you and your party were rude and overheard, claiming you would depart from the property the next day before you were even shown to your room. Whatever the reason was for your desire to depart, neither of the reasons mentioned in this review, as well as the claim that you were not given room service, despite your hefty restaurant tab for our BBQ night, that the televisions could not work, despite video evidence to the contrary and that staff were rude to you despite the fact you were the one witnessed slamming desks and sticking your phone in staff's faces to intimidate them; none of these are reasons for you to expect a full reimbursement during the island's busiest season. We thank you for choosing Sapphire Beach. However, we wish you had given the property more than 12 hours before departing and then claiming the property was at fault for your lack of due diligence.

Hi Marlene, As stated in the review posted by your companion Janice below, we thank you for choosing Sapphire Beach this time. However, we wish you had given the property more than 12 hours before departing and then claimed the property was at fault for your lack of research into the destination. We wish you all the best in future travels!

Hello Iryna,We thank you for your review but feel the need to point out inaccuracies in your statements:1 - You booked a ground-floor poolside unit and received an upper-level unit with a partial sea view. Your VIP upgrade was honoured as you also took advantage of the free breakfast provided to you. 2 - The balcony you are referring to is the one that can only be accessed from inside the unit and, as such, had an indoor lock and did not need a key. As mentioned, the inside balcony was located on an upper floor. 3 - You were relocated from this perfectly habitable room to another of similar calibre within an hour, which was also as close to the beach as the room category allows. This is false regarding the allegation of a stain on the bed, as even after we asked you to show the supposed stains you are claiming, you could not present them to our staff. 4 - Door keys do not work for any unit's door; you requested additional sheets from housekeeping, which were provided to you despite being unable to provide proof of any stains. 5 - One pool was closed for one day for proper cleaning. All pools are cleaned daily,

We're so sorry that you had such a negative experience while in Belize, which resulted from unprecedented storms and rainfall just before your arrival and throughout your stay. Unfortunately, due to these heavy rains, the roads to town were very muddy and, as a result, impassable in certain sections. That said, we worked with the local authorities to resolve this matter as quickly as possible and ensure the roads were repaired as soon as the weather made it safe to do so. While this external and uncontrollable factor was very unfortunate and we can certainly understand the impact it had on your trip, we do wish you would have taken the time to consider your experience on the property when tailoring this review as we received continuous feedback from you that your time was enjoyable on-site as there were no issues with your room or any of the amenities on site.

Thank you for choosing Sapphire Beach!

Hi Ronda, thank you so much for leaving a review about your stay! It was a pleasure to have you here and very happy to hear that you had a wonderful time

Thank you so much for your review! Yes, we are sorry that the sargassum was a little on the heavy side during your stay but our team did as much as they could to have it cleaned up even though mother nature had the advantage. We do hope that apart from the sargassum you had a great enough time to plan a returning trip as we would be more than happy to host your stay again!

Hi Kathleen, sorry for responding back to you so late. Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay and happy to hear that you enjoyed the pools and Tiki Bar :). At Sapphire Beach Resort we do encourage all plastic items to be placed in a separate container so that they may be separated for recycling. We do hope to see you here again at Sapphire Beach Resort!
