Gr8 views and BEST beach on the island! Sleeps 5 - Apartments for Rent in Ambergris Caye, Belize

Chuck's place was really well kept and made us feel right at home. Check in at the resort was easy and staff was super nice and helpful. We arrived at SBR per van and had stopped at the grocery store on the way. We did fall into the trap of greatly over paying as there were no price tags on most items. The cashier put in each single item by hand and we had no way of knowing what he actually charged us. Since we arrived off season the resort was dead with only a few owners there on the property we felt a bit isolated. No services were available to us & we couldn't use the beach much due to high winds, tons of seaweed and choppy water. We live a very active life in Flagstaff and so I was excited to make good use of the bikes that Chuck mentioned in his listing but quickly learned that they were useless. So don't count on it. Over all the resort was kept well & cleaned up daily. I was also looking forward to long beach walks which are impossible as neighboring properties don't clean up

Sapphire Beach was an amazing location! incredibly helpful staff, beautiful beach, nice pools, and luxury accommodations. The snorkeling company that they work with picked us up from our dock and gave us a personal guided tour. 10/10 would stay again.

Sapphire Beach is amazing ! The view from Chucks place was worth every penny. We knew about the road, but knowing and experiencing are very different . The staff were ALL warm and welcoming. We felt safe and secure there . We had a few issues such as the fridge wasn’t working the first night and most of the next day . Staff found us another one asap . The washer/dryer isn’t working but the resort washed and folded our clothes for no fee, which was much appreciated . We wonder when the last time Chuck and his wife have been there . Even though the kitchen is well stocked, everything is pretty old and in need of replacement. Same could be said for the bed. I loved the shower space, but again things are in need of repair ; shower head is clogged and old. It must be difficult for the owners being so far away to properly manage the place . We fully understand. Belize was a dream ! We would definitely recommend to family and friends . Melissa & Michael

We had a few hiccups but Chuck was responsive. Some of this was out of his control, but I do think the staff at the condo complex needs to better communicate with Chuck. They were confused when we checked in with 5 pp. I wasn't sure if they were going to allow it because they said it was for 2 pp. They ended up getting the condo ready for 5, but we had to twice ask for blankets and towels. The Internet was terribly slow and we couldn't stream anything. The front desk said there was a private Wifi but they didn't know the password. Don't expect to be able to do a zoom call until the private wifi is available. Chuck recd a tour provider but he was booked so we talked to the staff. They talked to us about options but said they could save us some money because they had "a guy". We went with the guy and saved $10 pp ... but they were almost 90 mins late, the boat was unsafe, and they didn't even take us to Mexican Rocks bc they weren't a registered tour. Staff got us $15pp refunded.

Once again we loved our stay at Sapphire. a previous review said that the shower was not hot, we had no problems with this. The resort was very quiet this time and the restaurant and tiki bar were often closed. It was nice to have a washing machine and drier which we used a couple of times. didn't have to bring so many clothes with us.

Love that you had a great stay! Putting in the washer/dryer was a must for our stays too... Thanks for your review Julian. (and if you know anyone looking for a great beach condo, give them our info. It pays for itself and we're looking to sell)

We loved chuck place was ocean view . Waking up every morning seeing beautiful sunrise was priceless . Restaurant had amazing food and staff was very friendly.

Thank you so much for staying with us!  My wife LOVES the sunrises from the condo.  Me, I rarely see it (LOL).  Enjoy your travels!

This one bedroom condo is perfect for visiting the north end of San Pedro. It is quite the drive from the airport or Belize express but worth it for the peacefulness of the property. It was nice to be able to have/make food. We were able to get a charter directly from the dock on the property. Host was responsive to the issues we had (breaker for the water heater had gone out) that was no fault of theirs. We would absolutely stay here again! Also, the onsite eatery was good!

We loved having you stay with us Megan.  Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review... we appreciate it!

Sapphire Beach is a stunning property. If we were to ever move to Ambergris Caye, we'd want to be here at Chuck's property. The condo unit was plenty big for the two of us and would be big enough to accommodate 2 more using the futon. Clean, well kept, comfortable... no complaints at all about the place. The view is the beach and ocean... gorgeous. The staff that manages the property was kind and communicated well. On-site security, daily beach clean up, and restaurant were all nice. Kayaks and paddle boards being right there were great. We booked a snorkel adventure from a company that picked us up right at the dock too. A few local restaurants are nearby as well. Overall this was a wonderful stay. The road getting in is an unfinished clay / dirt road that takes about 45min from town to reach by golf cart. It is bumpy getting there... but that is literally everywhere on the island. It's all part of the adventure. Just be prepared to bring in whatever you want from town.

Glad you and your girlfriend loved it Jay. It really is magical to be there. I feel so sorry for everyone that never comes north on the island... they miss the BEST beaches. The road is on the books to be paved but it will be done on "island time." We LOVE getting picked up at our dock for excursions - it's the best and saves a ton of time. Again, so glad you enjoyed it. Also, you have my email -save it. You'll never know when the bug to come out longer will bite. Happy Travels, Chuck & Gergana

The resort was easy enough to find.  It does take 1 hour by golf cart to get there and the roads are a bit rough, but once you get there it's very peaceful. They were very responsive to us before arrival.  The staff at the resort wee wonderful and very friendly

Thank you Elizabeth. We appreciate your stay. The road is always hard to judge... San Pedro tries to do smooth it out and grade it in December but sometimes it is January. If the road hasn't been graded it can be bumpy and take longer. We apologize for that. Hope to see you again soon, Gergana & Chuck

It’s very beautiful on the northern part of Ambergris caye. Sapphire is a wonderful hospitable resort and Chuck and Georgina’s place is perfect.

Rika, it sounds like you had many great adventures and built many wonderful memories.  We really appreciate your stay and so glad you love the area as much as we do!

The resort is lovely! The staff are wonderful. Eric was especially helpful. From helping us with our luggage when we arrived,  throughout our stay and until we checked out. The cleaning staff did a wonderful job. The restaurant delivered breakfast to us on the beach. The staff was very helpful with providing us information on things to do and setting up tours. The unit itself was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The washer came in very handy. Chuck and Gergana were great hosts always checking on us and providing helpful suggestions.

We spent a week in Chuck and Gergana's condo and it was hard to leave.  The unit is pristine, comfortable and well equipped. We spent many hours on the porch enjoying the beautiful view and the entertainment provided by the colorful birds and the pelicans. The resort staff were friendly and responsive and the restaurant Gem  serves lovely food.  We even had a romantic beach dinner to celebrate our 50th anniversary.   We have been many places but none have been as relaxing as here.  We heartily recommend staying here!

Nancy, it's so nice to read you love the pelicans too! We love watching them dive over and over in front of our condo. We could never get enough of that Caribbean view from the front porch! On occasion you can see dolphins and turtles too. We're so thankful you chose our place for your 50th anniversary :) They do an amazing job setting up for romantic dinners on the beach, don't they? Much thanks, Gergana & Chuck

Chuck and Gergana’s place was amazing! Everything we needed was right at little fingertips. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had storage containers for our leftovers. There is a great selection of DVD’s which was fun. The condo is literally steps from the beautifully manicured beach where we were able to watch the sunrise every morning, and the moonrise every evening.

We’ll never return. Not only were we not made aware of the fact you need an extension to stay beyond one calendar month, we were told it was up to us to figure that out.  By the time we heard  that from other guests immigration office closed for holiday weekend so at great expense we had to move up flight 3 days earlier. Again the god awful dirt road in which our golf cart got stuck the in the mud twice and the garbage, everywhere, aaarrrggghhhh.

We're so sorry you didn't enjoy your trip. I read that you felt like the island was "filthy dirty," but most people understand that Belize is a third world country - including our island. It is not like most cities in the US. Our resort and condo mostly score a 5 out of 5. We take a lot of pride in delivering GREAT service. Your stay did have much more rain than even our rainy season this year. The paved roads as well as the dirt roads were all flooded off and on during your stay. Understandably, the roads need to dry out before than can be graded and manicured. They are actually working on them now. Overall, I am sorry you didn't like Belize, our island, the roads or my service. Most really love it...

Great place for a relaxing vacation. The concierge services (Rose especially) was top notch with all bookings & directions.

This was the best part of our stay in Belize! It is quiet, but still, you’re close to everything and can peek at the beach from around the deck. Trisha and her family are amazing and wonderful friends, very helpful with snorkeling etc!!  Would recommend to all!  Thumbs up.

Our stay at Sapphire Beach was amazing from the easy communication with the owners, friendly and helpful staff at the resort and feeling very welcomed by all visiting and owning guests at the resort while we were there. The only recommendations I would make are: if you are planning on cooking, rent a golf cart and bring cooler bags and ice packs to get your perrishables home. Also we found food and groceries quite expensive especially if you went to the supermarket. There are some places where things are cheaper if you're willing to shop around. A map with where the best places to buy things certain things would be nice so you know what to get where and you're not worrying about perrishables getting too hot on the long ride home. All in all a great vacation!! Thanks for having us!

Elisa, we're so glad you had a GREAT vacation!  We will add the cooler bags to the Welcome Guide.  Thank you, it's a great suggestion.

My family and I had a wonderful time here!  A Beautiful, relaxing, scenic beach resort.  The staff was very helpful and friendly.  Chuck and Gergana were very responsive and their guest manual was great.

Thank you SO much Mindy. We'll be sure to update those items and very glad you had a great vacation! Yours truly, Gergana & Chuck

Chuck and gerganas place was the perfect choice for a tropical get away. The unit was beautiful and right on the beach. They left us plenty of recommendations for food and places to visit in there detailed welcome guide. The resort had a very nice restaurant, pools, and tiki bar! We loved staying here!

If you would like something truly remote and off the beaten path, you can’t beat this location. Food and staff were lovely and we felt very safe here. There were almost zero people around the resort, so very secluded and quiet. Check the time of year you are coming down, we had a lot of sea grass out front which wasn’t very appealing. But that is the case for the whole side of the island, not just the resort itself. The unit was well stocked, the bed was really comfortable, ac worked very well and having 2 bathrooms was a huge bonus. Thanks for everything!

This is a nice condo, very clean and well equipped. The view from the porch is beautiful. We ate at The Gem restaurant almost every meal and the food was wonderful.  The dive masters at No Worries were very nice and provided a great day tour for us.

Absolutely loved this. It’s right on the beach. Everyone is so friendly. The front desk was always super helpful. I had to change my reservation twice due to flight cancellations and they were very accommodating.

This is a lovely property away from the hustle, crowds and noise of San Pedro. The journey north is totally worth it! We were aware that Sapphire Beach Resort is 9.5 miles north of town and had the proper mindset for the somewhat arduous trek via a golf cart full of luggage. A golf cart rental is a must. We used “Avis” and they were waiting for us at the airport upon arrival. Great service & communication. All the resort staff are friendly and responsive. We were especially appreciative to the young men who work so hard to keep the grounds & beach clean. We made sure to extend a gratuity as well as a verbal “thanks.” The food at the resort was delicious. We highly recommend the happy hour and Saturday night BBQ. Because the beaches in Belize are not long, walkable stretches of sand, we frequently enjoyed the pools, relaxed on the beach loungers, used the kayaks and even played horseshoes. We also loved listening to the birds and watching the iguanas. The condo is clean, suitably equipped and perfect for a couple or couple with one or two small children. The welcome manual and communication from the owner were excellent. The kitchen was spacious and we easily prepared several meals there. The king bed is made up of two twin mattresses and we found it very comfortable. The futon couch was easily converted to a full size bed and best suited for kids or smaller individuals. There are two bathrooms which is very convenient. However, the water pressure in the master bath is so low that we showered in the other restroom. Not a big deal. Housekeeping was great — replaced towels, sheets, soap, shampoo and drinking water as needed. The washer/dryer unit was a bonus - allows you to pack a little lighter! We’d recommend this condo without hesitation to anyone visiting Ambergris Caye!

Honestly, we loved this property! It was a little oasis on the island. Such a vibe it was. Everything you could need right there on site. I will say you definitely need a golf cart if you want to get anywhere else on the island. The golf cart is part of the adventure though when exploring. Every one of the staff were so nice to us and helped out with anything we needed. Love them as well. Highly recommend it at sapphire!

We had a great week at this secluded condo. We loved that we could watch the sunrise from inside or on the front patio. The condo has everything you need if you are wanting to make a few meals for yourself. Plus we loved all the different amenities that the resort had to offer us. From the different pools to the kayaks and paddle boards.

Dear Katie, we would like to thank you for having chosen us as your hosts. It was a true pleasure having you, and we're glad you had a pleasant stay.  Warm regards,  The owners

Very isolated. If you are looking for a bargain it’s not on this island. Great location for the price and we loved the privacy. From airport another 2.5-3 hours of travel and another $100 per person one way. It’s worth the money but wish we had more time due to so much being spent on travel.

Thank you very much for your comments William, this is very appreciated.  We highly consider your suggestions, and we welcome every advise that can help us improve the experience of our guests.  Thanks again William, hope your trip back home went safely and smoothly.  The owners

Excellent response time and informative visitors guide email. Wonderful, laid back place.

Dear Greg, thank you so much for having taken the time to leave such a nice review of your experience with us.  We're really glad you had a nice time, and we hope we get to see you again one day!  The owners

Chuck & Gergana's place was just as expected.  I don't think we appreciated how quiet it was but it was totally needed to get some great rest and relaxation.  Everyone on site was helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed.  We will definitely be back.  Thanks again!

Dear Lisa, thank you so much for having taken the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.  We're very happy you enjoyed your stay, and know you are welcome to come back, anytime.  Warm regards,  The owner

privacy and quiet, away from it all;  I was mainly looking for a place close to Secret Beach and Chuck's place was surprisingly 6.8 bumpy miles away - it all worked out okay and the FOOD was amazing!  Every single meal at Sapphire Beach Resort was delicious and the staff (front desk, waiters, security, cleaners, ETC.)  were above and beyond amazing!!

Dear Jessie, thank you so very much for this review, we really appreciate it.  We hope we get to see you again one day!  The owner

Saturday night bbq is delicious, we enjoyed staying out from the main town.  Staff is great, restaurant is delicious and we had a great time using the onsite paddle boards and pools.  The beach is cleaned daily as well as the condo.  Great family vacation.  Thanks for hosting us.

Thank you so much for leaving such a nice review Ashleigh, we greatly appreciate it.  You are welcome to come back, anytime!  The owner

Highly recommend this condo. Great amenities from the washing machine to having a great dive company right on property. There were times throughout the week we felt like we were the only ones there. The restaurant was great and front desk was always so helpful!! Will definitely be back!!

Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your experience, and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay!  Know that you are welcome to come back, anytime!  The owner

We could not have been happier with our stay here!!  Both the resort and the unit were clean, modern and inviting.  The resort is nice and quiet and the island is small enough that access to everything is easy, allowing everyday to be planned out for whatever you are looking for.  Our hosts made sure we knew everything we needed ahead of time and the staff on site was accomodating every minute we were there.  This was our first trip to Belize and we will definitely be returning as soon as we can!

Jessica, how nice of you to having taken the time to leave a review, and such a nice one!  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We are very proud of our little paradise place and to be able to share it is so rewarding.  Again, thank you so much for your nice words Jessica. Know that you are welcome to come back anytime!  The owners

Jamie, thank you so much for letting us know you enjoyed your stay, that makes our day!  Happy New Year Jamie! Know you are welcome to come back anytime.  The owner

Nice Place, Nice view of beach(water), bottom floor of building.  Nice secluded beach resort with a very nice restaurant on site. Everyone there works very hard to make your stay great.
