St. Thomas is such a beautiful place but this resort does not represent the island at all. Everything is run down and not well kept at all. If you set up a tent and dug a hole as your toilet you will be in better shape than staying at this dump. The GM is one of the rudest persons we... More

We rented a condo owned by an individual Dr. Nathan Schattz. It was located 25 feet from the beach. There are many condo's but if you get one on the far end from the office/dive shop it is almost hidden from the crowds. Gorgeous view, Great snorkeling right out our door. Condo was in good shape and clean. We really... More

This place is a dump! Some buildings are renovated, I hear, but the rooms we got stuck with... I wouldn't make anyone stay in. If your reservation says you have a yacht harbor view, you are probably in Building F, and you can pretty much expect the worst room you have ever paid more than $29.95/night for. F is for... More

Stayed at a nearby Bed and Breakfast in St. Thomas, but traveled to Sapphire Beach for the day. When you enter the lot and the lovely landscaped resort sign you see the beautiful water view. But as you follow the driveway down the steep hillside and come across the extremely worn out tennis courts, and run down grounds you begin... More

This place has clearly seen better days! The only thing going for it is the beach, but even that is ruined by the rotten little dive shop. The shop is run by a group of grouchy men who have no interest in anything but tourist cash. They'll rent you stuff, but you better be ready to get it all yourself!... More

The rooms were clean. The outside of the property does need a facelift. However, you can't beat the price on St. Thomas or the location. Right on the beach, no really. Very close to the eastend, a a great jump off to other Islands. Red Hook has so much and it's just around the corner. I stay there often even... More

This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to, with great views of the British Virgin Islands and St John. Beautiful reef with colorful fish, rays and turtles!

We just returned from an eight day visit in St. Thomas and stayed at the Sapphire Resort in unit C107. We were totally comfortable in this condo and it had everything that we needed. The unit was clean with a nice firm bed and pull out sleeper. The owner made sure that everything that we needed was taken care of.... More

The best thing going for the Sapphire Beach Resort is the LOCATION! You can literally take a few steps from your room and be in the ocean. The beach itself is full of seaweed that washes ashore but they have grounds keepers in the morning that rake it up. Now for the bad part. There is no bar or restaurant... More

Lucky for us we stayed in a nice unit (b209) - an end unit with a lovely view of beach and palm trees, working AC, and decent full fridge and kitchen. We heard complaints about other units that had the full range of problems - I would only say there was mold on the outside of the fridge and the... More
