The property is very well taken care of and clean. The workout room, pool and hot tub are also very clean and beautiful. We really liked the amount of security they had all over the property at all times. We felt very safe!

Perfect for Families
We traveled for spring break with 3 kids and this unit and property were perfect for us. The pictures and view were very accurate. We were notified the Sapphire pool was still closed prior to our arrival and were worried that we'd have less pool options, but the Pearl pool was so easy to get to and perfect for the kids. We loved the ease of being able to walk to the beach and the pool from this unit. We watched a movie in the theater room with the kids and they loved that experience. Overall it was a great vacation for us and we can't wait to come back.

Almost as listed
Check in was a pain. Had to go offsite to check in. That process involves nothing as they only directed us to the property. Considering it was a busy night on SPI it added a good 30 minutes to long travel day. Checking in room was nice. As advertised. A quick walk to check out the main pool area were shocked to see it was EMPTY! Asked front desk and they said it would be complete Monday. It was never compete during our stay. So we had to go to the adjacent PEARL to get to pool and at times was busier than they could handle as that hotel was under construction. When it came time to use the laundry we found a dryer that didn’t work. A call I had a person come look and said they would have to get a tech. We never saw that tech and were forced to go offsite for laundry wasting valuable vacation time in laundry mat. Also had issue with main living room light and fan. Never repaired. Dishwasher had issue and was repaired. In the end we made the best of it, but we feel for what we paid we should have go let much more. Very dissatisfied in this and will never recommend or return here.

Disappointing
The resort pool - which is the main reason we chose this place — was being resurfaced. We were not informed prior to arrival and still charged an exorbitant resort fee. This unit also looks out directly into the rusty, messy rooftop of the adjacent building.

Vacation
We have stayed at Sapphire over 13 years for summer vacation. This time was very different. Usually, we like sit out on the balcony in the evenings, however the karaoke at The Pearl from 6-10 is brutal. So, after all of these years I will have to reconsider. The other issue is the cabanas. If we are spending the money to lease a condo then we should have the right to rent a cabana. The front desk told me to call the owner and ask him to reserve for us and we pay. So, we did. The owner stated that the board said renters cannot reserve. Well, I think that is crazy especially when the cabanas have no one in them for the majority of the day and the owners may come for 2-3 hours. Regarding this condo the only thing is just the shower curtain and rod really need to be replaced and instructions for the dryer to empty water would have been helpful. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.

Nice enough condo
A party of 5 stayed in this condo for 5 days. The condo was nice and reasonably priced. The Sapphire condos are the best on the island! I’ve stayed at many different condos on this property and have yet to be disappointed! This unit was not extremely clean by any means. It is well stocked with knives, glasses and dishes but that’s it. So many units include so many “extras” but this unit does not. They did not have garbage liners, tinfoil, salt/pepper, etc. the beds were comfy although squeaky.

Very Nice Condo
We loved the condo and the view of the ocean. Did not like the view of the rusting Pearl building next door so much, but we got used to not looking at it. The staff was cheerful and attentive and the grounds were perfect. The cooking utensils are low quality / old for the most part so if you like to cook, you may want to bring your own tools. Overall a great location and the condo architecture is modern and spacious.

What I loved about this place was the security. There is staff all over the place, all the time. With teenagers I felt it was a safe place to let them do their thing. It was quiet and peaceful. Clean and comfortable. We will go back.

Wonderful experience
Everything was great. The property is beautiful, we love the pool and spa and the easy access directly to the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would have liked more comfortable living room chairs that are more condusive for family lounging and relaxing together and umbrellas around the pool would be nice. There is very little shade but we're not complaining. Great stay!
