I visited nearly every beach on St Thomas and this was my favorite. Beautiful sand and water are just a hundred yards through the resort from the free parking lot. The rooms of the resort go right up to the beach with no large fences or walls to ruin the atmosphere. They have two outdoor bars and a restaurant, which... more

As part of our Royal Caribbean vacation, we had an eight hour stop in St. Thomas. We were dropped off at Sapphire Beach for a couple of hours as part of our island tour with Sunny Liston. The beach was pretty crowded but still breathtaking. When we arrived at the beach, we were hungry! We headed over to the full... more

We recently returned from a cruise and had the pleasure of going to St. Thomas for the day. We took a bus tour that included going to Sapphire Beach for 2 hours. When we arrived at 1:20, it was packed but found a spot to put our towels. They charge for beach chairs but not sure how much. The surf... more

My husband and I were at Sapphire Beach last month when we went on our cruise. Sapphire Beach is beautiful. There is excellent snorkeling. The beach is very clean. You can rent snorkel equipment for $5 per hour, beach chairs for $7 for the day. I believe you can also rent kayaks and peddleboats. There are bathrooms there also. I... more

We took our first Caribbean vacation to St. Thomas June 20-28. We were originally booked at Crystal Cove, the sister property to Sapphire Beach. We got delayed on American Airlines, had to overnight in Puerto Rico, and arrived a day late. The staff assured me that all would be fine when I arrived. When we finally got there (15 hours... more

STT Visitors, Forget about Sapphire being called a "resort". Just think of it as renting a perfectly located beach front condo. Do not have expectations of room service, laundry great on site restaurants, etc.. There are fabulous views, the best beach in STT, and if you request a renovated room.. a decent place to stay. It's just not a resort. more

WOW! Beautiful views! The snorkeling wasn't all that great though-looked like a lot of the reef was dead/trying to come back. But I just enjoyed the views. I actually thought it was a lot better than Magen's Bay! more

We recently had the pleasure of spending a week at Sapphire Beach in July. The beaches there are second to none on the entire island of St. Thomas. We traveled between Coki, Magens Bay, Frenchman's Reef and Sapphire Beach. I will say that they are all wonderful beaches, depending upon your activity range. I am a huge snorkel fan, so... more

The Seagrape Restaurant as suggested not to eat in one of the reviews has not been in exisitance for several years now. The Blue Water Grille is now the restaurant for Dinner on the property, and I have to say it was awesome. We ate there several times during our stay this January. My wife loved the signature salad and... more

My husband and I just returned from our trip to St. Thomas. We wanted to spend most of our trip snorkeling, and we heard that sapphire beach had great snorkeling, so we planned a day to spend there. We spent money on a taxi and to rent beach chairs only to find that the beach wasn't really what we were... more
