Sapphire beach resort has one of the best views of St. John on the island. Don't get me wrong, the area is beautiful, but walking along the beach is like walking through a ghost town. The whole place feels old and run down. My family was lucky, and we had a very nice room that suited our needs, but we... More

The location was amazing and Sapphire Beach is amazing. I was there for 8 days and it was only sort of busy on one day with cruisers. The resort included free snorkel gear and beach chair. We had a two story hotel that was not 5-star, but it was great with amazing views on the beach so I can't complain.... More

Let me start by saying this, Saint Thomas is not what travel magazines try to sell you. Of course there is romance, fun in the sun, and lots and lots of cheap booze, but forget about what you have back home! You will not find a Target here, or a 24 hour Walgreens. Leave your expectations back home. You come... More

What a shame this absolutely beautiful place is such a diamond in the rough. Unfortunately, there are no services here to draw the people here. The pool is gorgeous however the area around the pool has been deserted. The pool bar and grille are no more, if you want dinner you have to take a taxi or drive. The rooms... 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
