We had an incredible stay at condo 105 with its affordable rate and excellent service from Prashad as the owner, who was highly responsive and made sure we were prepared for our stay. The condo's proximity to the two small but charming pools, picturesque Dover beach, and the stunning Caribbean Sea was breathtaking. Although there were strict pool rules that seemed excessive, they helped to maintain cleanliness and provide a tranquil atmosphere. Overall, we were thrilled with our Caribbean vacation experience at this amazing condo.

The condo was very comfortable with a fantastic view of Dover Beach. Some of the appliances and fixtures were not the best quality but they served their purpose. There were seven of us sharing a three bedroom condo and we found it adequately spacious and relatively quiet considering we were in the party neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly and, of course, the weather was great.

Unit 217. These are privately owned and privately rented. Our unit is well equipped, decorated, and laid out beautifully. We did not need to nor did we rent a car. Our first and definitely not our last visit to the island. We are walking distance to some of the best meals I have ever enjoyed (Tabu!). The Cake Lady for iced mocha lattes is perfection. (Avoid the gift shop next door, but if you do go, she changes the prices and hopes you aren’t looking so PAY ATTENTION). This property is safe, private, but close to everything you could need, even a grocery store. The chairs are $30us dollars per day and no it does not matter if you want them at 3pm lol! No discount. I will definitely stay here or in this general area when I come again. This condo is a gem. Laundry. Housekeeping. Comfy beds and bedding. Clean. Well kept!…

First the good news: the property itself is lovely! The beach is just steps away, and all the units face the ocean. The pool area is clean and inviting. Everything is well maintained, and the guests are quiet and respectful of others. There are lots of wonderful shops and restaurants in walking distance to the building. We rented Unit 211, a 3 bedroom/3 bath condo for our recent family reunion. The unit was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. There are plenty of towels, and the kitchen is well-stocked. The large terrace can easily accommodate 6 adults comfortably with a dining table and nice sitting area. Now the bad news: with so much rental traffic there are bound to be things that don't work right. On arrival day there were several bulbs out, and the A/C did not work at all. The next morning we discovered the coffee machine also was broken. Luckily all items were replaced quickly. The following day the refrigerator handle broke off, and again the workers came to fix it. The ice machine never worked well, and the dishwasher required running it several times to clean one load. But we didn't want to complain further since we were enjoying everything else. Halfway through the week the housekeeping service came to clean. I think the woman cleaned a bit too hard, as later that night a cosmetic panel fell off the microwave and hit my daughter in the head. I was tired of spending my vacation calling the property manager daily and figured they would see when we checked out that this fell off. Unfortunately, Blue Sky charged me $230 to fix this broken appliance which had nothing to do with my family. I explained several times there was no way we could have broken this part, but Blue Sky refused to listen. Please use this a friendly reminder to let Blue Sky know about every single thing that may be off or broken and be careful they won't withhold your security deposit for over one month like they did with me. I am a travel advisor by trade and own a profitable travel business. I have stayed in hundreds of properties and never experienced such callous service toward a client who did nothing wrong.…

Excellent location for a Barbados vacation. The entire property is very well maintained and the location is very convenient. The Dover Market is a short walk to pick up groceries, there were always taxi cabs waiting in front of the building, the beach is beautiful and clean and it is just a short walk down the street to many restaurants. We walked to dinner most evenings, the sidewalk was well lit and we always felt safe. The beach is clean and the water is not deep. Chairs and umbrellas are available for about $15 a day, you can negotiate a discount if you rent for a week or longer. There is a bit of surf, mostly just small swells. The sound of the waves makes a relaxing backdrop while sitting on the balcony.

I spent four nights here with friends July 14-18 2020 in #217 and was completely blown away! The great service started from the time of booking all the way to the last day. Michelle was truly professional and great to deal with. The condo itself is in pristine condition with everything functioning as it should. Stunning ocean views, spacious living room, kitchen and bedrooms and also even a laundry room! It’s perfect accommodation for up six people with onsite security and assigned parking. Lots of dining options nearby plus supermarkets for groceries etc. The two pools were also thoroughly enjoyed by all. So totally impressed! Thank you!

After visiting this beautiful island for the past 31 years and staying in hotels or all inclusive this was our first experience of renting a condo . We did so on the advice of friends who have been staying at Sapphire for the last few years . I can’t thank them enough as it was a wonderful experience. We rented Unit 118 which is a two bedroom unit located at a far end of the building . Very quiet . Sapphire has 2 and 3 bedroom units . 2 bedroom units consist of two floors and are located on the first and second stories of the building . Our unit contained a master bed and bath and laundry room on the main floor with a walkout to the patio. The second floor housed a second master bedroom and pullout couch , bath , well equipped kitchen , living room , dining area and access to a lovely outdoor covered patio equipped with table , chairs and seating area. Very spacious unit and very well maintained. Excellent WIFI. 2 pools , beautiful well maintained grounds, ample sun beds . The grounds are gated as is the access to the beach . The beach was beautiful and also well maintained ,with a good mix of sun and shade afforded by the lovely palm trees .Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for rent at $ 10 US Dollars per day . The first week was spent with our daughter, son-in -law , and two grandchildren . My daughter had been to Barbados many times with us in her teens and has fond memories of this gentle Island and it’s people . It was a wonderful experience to be able to share this time with her once again and introduce our son -in-law and grandchildren to the joys and sights of Barbados . They loved the whole experience. The second week was spent with another couple who are our best friends and we consider family. This was also their first time to Barbados as well and they loved the island and our unit at Sapphire . It was a wonderful experience for all if us and a chance to live together as family. Thank you Keisha Williams for accepting our request for this unit . Must say we did have one heart stopping minute that concerned me . It was agreed and arranged through yourself after advising you that in our first week there would be 4 adults and 2 children sharing the unit ,the second week it would be only four Adults . Groceries were ordered to stock the fridge , fast track at the airport and airport transfer for six arranged and the the ages of the children given as requested. We arrived by the airport transfer after a long ,tiring day of travel but excited to be there and anxious to get settled . We were greeted at the door of our unit and advised that this was a four people unit . I was shocked and explained that all this had been prearranged. We were then shown into the unit but it left us feeling uneasy and certainly wasn’t the welcome to Barbados I was expecting. All worked out fine in the end but I’m still not certain why that even occurred . Big thank you to Rose ,thanks for your lovely work keeping the place so tidy, and thanks so much to Orman who made himself available to drive us to restaurants daily and the lovely day trips to Bathsheba and The Crane . Great trip . …

This was our 3rd stay here. Condo 101 102 and 103 are all perfect. Two BR. One up. One down. Kitchen is upstairs. Walkout to pool area and then to beach. Easy to meet others or just sit quietly. Guard staff friendly. Pool and grounds people also friendly. Close to many restaurants. Taxis available...this year Glen drove us everywhere, anytime. His van took all 6 of us easily.

I came here with my family and stayed in a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom condo with a view that overlooks the ocean. We only had to walk a few steps past the pool to get to the beach. The people working here were very nice and helpful. A perfect place to stay and a great deal for the money.
