The location is great and it is nice to have eating options on property. I do not recommend eating at Sudi’s though. Sapphire beach is beautiful and it was especially nice to have free chairs for the beach. The downstairs shower had no working hot water and the upstairs toilet did not flush properly. Other than that it was great and still recommend it overall for the beautiful view and location.

Staff were also accommodating, and willing to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. Shout out to Anson for my smooth check-in and Mindy and the girls from The Beach Buzz coffee shop next door!

Be sure to clarify what specific room you are getting prior to your trip. Ours what not the same level of quality as the one we had expected. And after a couple days of investigating we realized there was bat droppings falling on our bed and they were unable to move us to another room until whole 24 hours later. We had to rearrange the furniture to move the bed to a \"safe zone\" to sleep. All of it was unfortunate. The kid the front desk tried to be helpful, but wasn't really able to do anything. At this point no refund has been given thus far.

The room assigned was in terrible condition. It was extremely outdated with broken cabinet doors and horrible stains on the tile floors. Tile in the showers broken everywhere and all faucets were corroded. There were hairs everywhere as well.
The manager did get me a better room. There is no way that first room should even be rentable especially at the price they are charging.

Property was disappointing. We were texted a message with a timeframe when to check in, as we were late, but no noe was there at that time. We were told housekeeping would come monday, wed, friday to the room. Friday was the only day we saw a housekeeper, and it was after lunch, we were scheduled to leave the next day. They had set a plastic bag with towels with our room number outside our room. Never been to a place that leaves clean towels outside. We could not exchange pool towels, because no one was there to do so. The times were 10a-5pm. We were there one day at 414pm, and no one was there. The temperature in the room could not be adjusted, and the pump ran all night. We put towels and linens over the pump to try to quiet it. We could not sleep as it was too loud. The room was outdated, and overall a disappointment

On first sight it was picturesque; however as I walked the grounds and the resort area it was in shambles. Big smelly Garbage bins in plain view and the pool bar was all but torn down. If it’s not going to be in use then cover it up and make it aesthetic looking to the eye. This resort needs a full 100% overhaul. I will say the staff was extremely nice and helpful though.

Sometimes its not as shown

We overall loved the area, our room was over priced after looking at comps and after talking with other renters who stated when they arrived their room had welcome gifts, fancy shampoos flowers, we wouldn't have know this unless speaking with others, also the bathroom in our room was outdated exhaust fan broken, no smoke detectors missing off of brackets within room, the closet safe was broken and not functioning, the view off balcony was beautiful and the beach was also stunning and that made all the difference, overall 1 out of 10 I give it a 7. But hey Do your due diligence shop around I didn't and might have shorted my self, but overall great experience.

Upon check-in we were given room in building A which was a huge disappointment. The room and the furniture looked as though it hadn't been updated for decades. I would describe it as musty, as though nobody had occupied that room for weeks, maybe months. Also, after many attempts to use the TV, it did not work. We asked management to move us to a different room. Finally at the end of the day (after about 2 or 3 visits to the office) we were moved to a room in building B, which was a huge improvement. The room was updated, and we particularly enjoyed being right on the beach. However, one complaint about this room is that the bed was absolutely awful! I don't think the mattress has been changed for years! The beach is very nice, but since it is also a public beach it gets very crowded when the cruise ships are in port. The pool is in a beautiful location but when we were there the bar/restaurant, (not sure what it was) was under construction, so that took away from the beauty of it. The upscale restaurant was very nice, but pricey. The bar served casual food and pizza which was pretty good. The area is not walkable, so we had to pay $24 roundtrip (for 2 people) for a taxi to the grocery store which was only about 1.5 miles away.

My family and I stayed in the sapphire beach resort village. It was beautiful with a kitchenette area pretty well stocked with kitchen items, living room/dinning room, bathroom and we got the king bed. It had a balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean and boat dock. The view was breath taking. We were close to the pool, restaurant and a short walk down a path to sapphire beach. It was a great stay and would recommend to other people. My only critique would be they should tell you were to throw the bags of trash away if they are going to do it for you. Excellent stay. Would book again for future trips.

The Resort itself was pretty nice, beach was wonderful the bar and restaurants on site were wonderful, the beach is beautiful.

The negatives were the unit itself was way below satisfactory levels. Unit was musty, rusty and very much outdated.

The view was that of resort was that of beach lounger storage.

Overall, we felt ripped off and hope this review will prevent someone else from feeling the same way. Stay away from unit A one hundred and one at Sapphire Beach Resort.

Pick a difference villa/Condo

WOW what a Disappointment! Don’t think I’ve ever given a 1 star review before. Can’t believe the amount we paid per night for this place! VERY DATED!! But clean. No beach towels only chairs. No plastic cups for beach. Also not much in the way of kitchen gear either. Virtually no storage or mixing bowls. Some lights don’t work. No glass on the coffee table. Problems with the AC. Old TV (not a smart TV) No w/d. Stove difficult to operate as the drip pans didn’t fit the stove, didn’t heat evenly and not balanced.
Bed is comfy but the mattress topper didn’t fit the bed. Furniture old and very broken down. Good location. Management pleasant.

Sofa Beds not good

Stayed her during a girls trip and had a great time. The resort is located on a beautiful beach and the restaurant and beach bar are very good. We stayed in one of the Villa's and the space was run down, broken panel on closet and the sofa beds need new mattresses. If you are staying and sleeping in an actual bed, perfect.

It’s all about the great beach

Only Major complaint was beds in “villa” 302A. Advertised for six people the couch mattress nearly ruined me and my sleep. My second night was better because Front Desk sent up more pillows second night you can speak with service 24/7 but office not open to give me extra pillows for first night. VIEWS were lovely. ROOM clean. Small bar restaurant great. Breakfast store (also lunch) is reasonable. Good coffee. This location is well managed and responsive to guests - but response delayed when office is closed.

Sapphire Beach has hands down the best beach area in St. Thomas. There is amazing white sand, snorkeling among beautiful fish and coral, and the beach is cleared daily of the abundant seaweed. The property has so much potential, but is severely lacking in maintenance. The condos are out-dated, in need of deep cleaning, and repairs. Our upstairs a/c did not work, there was no hot water in the shower, a ton of bugs throughout, patio table was warped and cracked, couches were stained, oven did not work. Lots of cracks and holes in the walls. If you’re here for the beach, this is an amazing place to be. We explored Magen’s Bay, Coki Beach, Margaritaville, and Frenchmen’s Cove, and Sapphire beach was everyone’s favorite. The pool has a vacant, dilapidated bar, and is very unappealing. The on-site eateries are nice, but expensive. If you want to cook in your condo, you’ll have to either take a taxi to Redhook ($5 per person each way) or have groceries delivered- which is *extremely* expensive. If I did this trip over again, I would pack a suitcase of food items for the week for days we didn’t feel like spending $100 on lunch. Overall it was a fun vacation, but make sure to bring plenty of cash. It’s a very expensive destination.

We were there over a weekend and found out the Beach Bar is a popular hangout open to the public. It was very crowded with lots of extremely loud music and partying. We were in unit A, which is closest and had to endure it until after 11 o’clock.

The property has a nice beach. However, the check in desk doesn’t open some times until 10 am or later and they close at 5 which makes it inconvenience for check in and out. The bedsheet and blanket are in poor conditions and do not appear very clean. There is only one key given to the guests which makes it inconvenient. The fine dining restaurant is pricey.

We had a great stay at Sapphire. Everyone was friendly and helpful, grounds were clean and very kid friendly. Gets a little crowded on days when the cruise ships come in but other than that we would stay here again.

Incredible Beachfront Views

The property was amazing. The pool and beach were so convenient and accessible and clean. The towel and linen service was on point and housekeeping will clean daily if you want. The staff and security were on top of things and the energy was simply wonderful. Great place to stay.

The property is tired and in need of a refresh. The view and location is beautiful and is not
Taken full advantage of. The rooms have uncomfortable bedding, pilled sheets, dated wicker furniture and tired bathrooms. The restaurant and bar closes early, which is disappointing when you want to enjoy sunset outside. The views from the point are breathtaking, but the pool doesn’t have towels to offer, a bar to enjoy a drink or snack with the view, and feels under construction. Very disappointing for the price paid.

The grounds and exterior of the buildings were fair. The interior of our condo ( A301) was terrible. Built in the late 70's or early 80's and never touched. Desperately needs
a modern update and better housekeeping. Not worth the
price paid.

Online pics don’t really show truth. There is no main lobby. Random door is the lobby. Not user friendly. Not updated at all. Very disappointing stay. Also had housekeeper coming to our door asking us if we were checking out, before checkout time! We were fully aware of checkout time and left on time. Was annoying to feel unnecessarily rushing us. Not my style of stay at all.

The grounds were beautiful and the beaches so nice. I was expecting the poolside bar to be open. It is still relatively damaged from the hurricanes of 2017, sadly. The condo was fair. Lots of light bulbs out, fridge makes a constant banging noise. But it was very clean and the bed was comfortable as well. Overall, the experience was good.

This property is so run down it’s depressing. Cabana near the pool is so rotted and rusted it looks like a bomb shelter. This is not hurricane related, but years of neglect. The property has spent no money of maintenance in years. I can tell I’m a contractor.

This place is a hidden gem. I was worried after reading some of the reviews but this place by far was unbelievable. The beach is beautiful and clean and the staff is super helpful with anything you need. I’m already booking my stay for next year I was so impressed.

I enjoyed revisiting fond memories of the old Sapphire in the 90s when every weekend was the Sunday beach party. With music, dancing, and plenty of people. Now however, it’s a ghost town after 7/8pm. Total disappointment since I told my son all about the Sunday parties. I lived in St Thomas for 6yrs and understand the financial devastation after experiencing Hugo. It seems to me Sapphire Resort has lost the motivation and pride in maintaining what still exist regardless of the financial ability to fully renovate. For example the pool area obviously took a big hit, probably many times but there is no reason why the pool area cannot be kept clean and orderly. Such as sweeping tree debris daily. The pool area was a mess. The rooms had a strong smell of mildew and previous moisture that has lingered, so much so I sprayed my cologne around the room daily. Recognizing we were beach front however, there was more than enough sand on the floor which made it apparent the floor cleaning detail was less than adequate for new arrivals. The TV electronics for both sets were an electrical nightmare of intertwined cables cords and hanging electric strips. The room was a decent size and the beach view was very nice! Again the view could have been improved with a little inexpensive TLC. What little we saw of the staff left me with a good impression, pleasant and happy we were there! As I said from the beginning I believe Sapphire has allowed the resort slip through the cracks. TAS

Beautiful beachfront location

On the plus side, the beachfront location was excellent and had lots of water activities, the pool was beautiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, we had daily housekeeping service and the room was kept very clean. On the minus side, the coffee shop closed at 2:00 PM, and the beach bar/snack bar closed at 6:00 PM. Not having any food or drinks available on the property in the evening was disappointing.

Great place for the price. I was very confused on arrival on where to find the front desk. There are no signs?!?! I had reached out to the property a few days before arrival like I was told and never got a response. I called the number listed and no one would answer. Finally we were told by the bartender that the office is in one of the rooms in the A building. The girl at the desk was very kind and let us leave our bags in the office until our room was ready. The beach is beautiful and the snorkeling is fantastic. Snorkel gear is not included like I saw listed as one of the items included, but it was $10 for the day which was reasonable.
We stayed in the building with the marina in front and had amazing sunrise views. Our room had working A/C on the second floor, but my parents room on the bottom floor was not working.

we liked that we were able to be close to the beach, but did not like being next and behind the bar/kitchen area. Also would like to see more food options - we did notice that there was some construction going on - so maybe next time

Loved the beach front. View was spectacular. On-site free parking. Convenient to para-sailing and other boating activities. Free use of snorkeling equipment. Clean beach with great reefs. Our unit had an off smell, burned out light bulbs, nice clothes drying rack, spacious upstairs bedroom. Nice kitchen. Pull out beds were uncomfortable, as the mattress’ were thin. King bed was comfortable. Overall a good experience.

Sapphire Beach Resort is located on amazing beaches, and while the buildings are older, the vibe is excellent and the property is well maintained. There was abundant seaweed throughout St Thomas beaches during our stay, but the resort staff kept our beaches clean and open. I’d return for another stay.

This hotel is so rundown and outdated. There isn’t even a front lobby. No real entrance security. The room was nasty. No shampoo or conditioner, was given body gel for everything. No working blow dryer. Beach was dirty. The pool was not clean. Extremely disappointed with pictures compared to the reality of this resort. Someone needs to update the website and pictures of this property. Would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone.
