Sapphire Beach Condominium Resort

Absolutely beautiful views! Pool is amazing and well kept. Condo was well kept and had everything we needed and more. We had a power outage but we just enjoyed the pool and ordered pizza. Highly recommend!

While the resort is nice as a whole, the beach bar lacks. The drinks are terrible (in my opinion) they use cheap store bought mixers and use for EVERYTHING including what would be a hard lemonade. The grounds in the front could definately uses some work as the walkways are broken and uneven and the parking lot is a mess but the beach is pretty nice. The entire grounds are NOT fit for anyone in a wheelchair or with severe disabilitites, however. It does get crowded when cruise ships are in but not bad otherwise. The pool are is awesome and alot of iguanas which you need to remember, this IS their territory so respect that but obey the rules to not touch or feed them. We actually watched a man pick one up by the tail and sling it across the pool which highly irritated me. The seagrass was really bad when we stayed, I wish they would do what many other resorts do and put a barrier off shore to keep it from coming into the harbor. The Condos are all different, we chose one with a full kitchen and electric bbq as we wanted to cook some of the time to save money as food on the island is pretty expensive no matter where you go. Moes Market in Redhook is fantastic by the way and close by. If you need a pharmacy the family owned (I can't remember the name) in Redhook is absolutely awesome! The owner is onsite and VERY helpful. We didn't rent a car because people drive crazy there and on the opposite side of the road so we used a taxi however consider the cost as they are pretty expensive if you are coming and going alot. I definately do NOT recommend walking anywhere from the resort. You are likely to be hit. Sea Salt is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic and the drinks by far superior than the beach bar. They actually have craft cocktails that are top notch and they have happy hour so don't miss that. No-one tells you at the resort anyone after 5 can go up there without a reservation so I am now. Only dinner reservations are highly recommended. We didn't find this out until 3 days prior to leaving when we had dinner up there. Sudi's is worth the walk up the hill. Their 10.00 breakfasts are great and the bloody Marys' and mimosas are fantastic! Super cool vibe and great people run it. The highlight for us in St. Thomas was the actual Old Town and you must try Glady's for eats. To conclude our stay at Sapphire, it is a well rounded place to stay, kid friendly and you don't need to leave if you don't want to. I would recommend but not sure we will return as it wasn't a "wow" factor.

My experience staying at this property was not a good one.||||There were some positives: property is right on the beach front, the cafe is good, casual bars/restaurants are fun with great drinks and vibe (although the fish tacos are terrible). For casual dining, the food is better at the smaller bar with mojitos. The pizza and caesar salad are both solid options. Also, the fine dining restaurant, Sea Salt, is excellent. Also, the small shop on the property sells quality items and souvenirs and not a bunch of cheap kitsch. I bought multiple items to bring home as gifts.||||But the unit I was given, D208, listed as a Standard Beachfront Condo, was awful. The air condition was too cold and there is no way to adjust the temperature. The AC vent pushes air right on to the bed, and I had to pull an extra flimsy blanket out of the closet to try to keep myself warm when sleeping. It got so bad that the last night I stayed there, I actually took the blankets to the couch and slept there. Second, my sink clogged up. Third, neither of the two security safes in the closet were functional. Both were in states of disrepair.||||Fourth, and this might be the worst thing about the property, is that it is not prepared for tropical storms or hurricanes. There was a flashlight in the kitchen shelf but it was a low quality one and the battery was dead. Our power went out during hurricane Erin. With no working flashlight on hand, I hadto rely on light from my mobile devices to not bump into things in the middle of the night. Very troublig was the absence of any structured property-wide communication on how to prepare for the storm and what to do or where to go if conditions got really bad. The property is after all on the beach front, and swelling waves during a hurricane should be a prime concern.||||The property does have its own generator, but the generator only acts as a backup for the shared spaces like the cafe and restaurants. Rolling blackouts appear to be the norm on St. Thomas when major storm systems pass through, so if the power in your unit goes out during a weather event, it is an issue with the grid and the people (government? power company? someone else?) responsible for getting that back up and running on the island. There is no backup generator on site for the condos.||||Nobody expected hurricane Erin to turn into the monster category 5 storm it was or for it to take the trajectory it did, but even with a lesser storm, the unit and property were not hurricane ready.||||In sum, my unit D208 was not well attended to (it was obvious regular maintenance was not a priority of the owner) with multiple things in disrepair, and there is a glaring lack of disaster preparedness, which is shocking for an island that is in the danger zone for tropical storm systems.||||This place is definitely overpriced for what it offers and was a huge disappointment.

Sapphire Beach Resort really has it all!! From breakfast and coffee, to drinks and lunch/casual dinner, to upscale dining, everything is at your fingertips. We especially enjoyed all the iguanas, small lizards, cats, and chickens that roam about. Being able to walk out our patio right onto the beach was the highlight of the trip! Building A is perfectly situated near everything, and allowed us to easily come and go from our unit when we needed to grab some water, a snack, use the restroom, or take a break on our patio. Do note that each unit is individually owned, and some are much better than others! We rented units in Building D and C that we left immediately due to mold and terrible musty/mildew smells. Some of the property does have some wear and tear, but overall we were very happy with our stay (after the first two units) and hope to come back.

The rooms are clean but in serious need of remodeling. The beach is fantastic with 3 small places to get food and drinks and 1 very overpriced dinner restaurant. We had rust around plumbing and cracks in walls and ceilings so don't expect much from the rooms. The staff is super friendly, maids come every other day, snorkel equipment and beach towels provided at the office. Also a laundry room is on site. We loved the pool, snorkeling in Sapphire Beach, watching the iguanas and just chilling on our balcony. I am only giving it a 3 because of the rooms.

One of the few condo style resorts with an amazing sand beach and great snorkeling right off the beach. Several beach bar style restaurants on the premises with absolutely amazing food. I have to say the food has been far beyond expectations. We have had some of the best meals here.

My one-night stay at Sapphire Beach Condominium Resort was absolutely incredible! Booked through Airbnb, this place exceeded all expectations. The condo was spotless, modern, and had breathtaking marina / ocean views right from the balcony—perfect for catching the sunrise. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the pristine Sapphire Beach, with soft sand and crystal-clear waters ideal for a quick dip or snorkeling. The resort amenities, like the pool and nearby restaurants, shopping, etc in red hook added nice convenience and charm. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was super responsive, making my short stay stress-free and relaxing. I can’t wait to return for a longer visit—this place is a true Caribbean gem!

We just returned from the most wonderful stay at Sapphire Beach, and I cannot say enough good things about Unit A104. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The condo was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully stocked with so many extras — plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, and an abundance of cooking utensils, dishes, and pans that made it feel like home.||The location of this unit is absolutely unbeatable — it’s right on the beach with breathtaking ocean views. Every morning, we simply slid open the doors and stepped directly onto the soft sand. It was like waking up inside a postcard. The condo is also conveniently just steps away from the coffee shop, boutique, bar, and restaurants — truly everything you could need within a few steps.||Inside, the accommodations were just as wonderful. The bed was ginormous and so comfortable, and the pull-out couch worked perfectly for my teenager. Honestly, the pictures didn’t even do it justice — the condo was even better than we expected!||The communication with the host was seamless — they reached out with all the information we needed the day before arrival and responded promptly when we had any questions. It made everything feel easy and stress-free.||Some of the standout touches included foldable beach chairs, flippers, and snorkel gear provided in the unit. We barely used the pool because the beach was just so stunning — crystal clear blue waters filled with small fish and even stingrays, right offshore! Every time we snorkeled, we discovered something beautiful.||The location overall couldn’t have been better — quick and easy access to Red Hook, the ferry, and restaurants. And the views… they were just unforgettable. We could see St. John and several small islands from our spot on the beach.||I would absolutely love to come back and stay in A104 again. It honestly felt like the best condo on the property, and I’m so grateful for the memories we made there. Thank you for such a perfect stay!
