"We stayed at Sapphire Beach Resort in St. Maarten and unfortunately the first room we were given was very disappointing. It clearly needed renovation, everything looked old and scratched, there was no hot water, and the bathroom is in serious need of a full update. Even the fridge was very outdated and not appealing. This left us with a very negative first impression and affected our first day. We requested to be moved and were given another room, which was much better. It appeared newly renovated, clean, and everything worked properly. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The view from the balcony overlooking the sea was beautiful, and we really enjoyed the beach. The cats around the property were also a nice touch. Overall, the experience was mixed, the initial room was very poor, but the second room, along with the location, beach, and friendly staff, improved the stay significantly."

"Beautiful room … Royal Islander is an older resort but is definitely still amazing. First stayed here in 1989. Will return again. Daily housekeeping a plus. Only thing I dislike is using the small parking garage. Very tight spots and $8/day fee. "

"It was a great environment "

"The pictures on the site must be old because the property is pretty run down. I was there in April 2026 and was shocked at how run down it looked. Even though the staff were nice, it was not what I expected. If you are there for a weekend this place is ok but I wouldn’t stay for a long trip. Breakfast is not worth the 15 dollars, I would eat off site."

"Everyone was very nice"

"Amazing views, clean facilities"

"Beautiful and clean suite. The staff was friendly and accommodating. You can order taxis from front desk which was very convenient. The view was immaculate and the hotel is right off the beach. No complaints."
