We loved staying at this place! The view was so amazing from the balcony — a great place to relax and unwind to the sound of the ocean. The location directly on the beach and close to restaurants etc couldn't be better. Also the apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. Would definitely love to return!

A great well-equipped condo overlooking the beautiful Dover Beach. Sitting on the balcony for morning coffee and dinner was stunning. Cute coffee shop and little supermarket just down the road. Sapphire Beach condo was perfect for our winter get-away.

Spectacular view + beach, walking distance to restaurants
We loved our stay at Sapphire Beach. Great location, beautiful beach, we loved having breakfast out on the porch. Wendy was great to work with as well.
Great place to stay.., walking distance to everything.
Condo was very clean, had everything we needed even a great beach cooler and towels! The balcony was perfect anytime of the day and perfect to watch the sunset. Will definitely stay again!

This condo is beautiful inside and out! First the location, you can walk to so many bars and restaurants. We also walked to Worthing Beach the one morning. There is also the Dover Market just around the corner. The condo has the most beautiful view with a large balcony with plenty of seating. The condo was also very clean. I appreciate staying here with the family for 8 days! Definitely recommend. You cannot beat the location, condo space and view! Thank you for the hospitality!

Three weeks in Paradise!
My family renters unit 307 and 517, both beautifully furnished, and a pleasure to spend time in. What made the trip extra special was not only the units but the staff as well. The front gate stuff for extremely friendly, and Kiesha who is there to remedy any small issue we may have had. Primrose and Nicole always greeted us with a big smile and so much love. Thank you all for being a part of our vacation and making it a huge success. Looking forward to seeing you all again very soon.! Much luv Barry and family!

Exceeded expectations
Three couples in our 60's. We had an amazing time. The unit was spotless as were the grounds. Immediate access to the pool and beach. Take your choice. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in the Gap. Taxis right out front for any day trips. An excellent convenience store with beer and wine, food and snacks just 150m away. Blue sky was very communicative and ensured everything was in order. We highly recommend.

A marvelous beach! We sighted tartarugas da varanda quase every day. Very comfortable, spacious, clean apartment. Moveis, electrical appliances, utensils, bedding and bathroom in good condition. We cook and we do not feel lack of any equipment. All functional. Or stand out in plain sight. From the kitchen you see the sea and from the master bedroom. Fazer as refeições na varanda foi especial. We love this week in Barbados! We recommend. And we would like to return.

Perfect apartment with plenty of hanging space like you wouldn't believe, huge rooms, amazing views! We spotted turtles pretty much most mornings which was fab! We had everything we needed to hand it was well equipped! The views are amazing to wake up to! The location perfect! I reckon it took 10/15 to walk into the heart of the gap and we are on our holidays it's chill time so the walking is on bajan time. We tried all over for flying fish cutters, they're really good in a few places! Pebbles beach at cuz's van have got to be the best! Daddy's next to the condos do a pretty good one along with other homemade great stuff ! We had an amazing time, it was the whole package for us

Great Apartments and location
Have stayed many times in Sapphire beach apartments and love their perfect spot, beautiful views and all the amenities that the apartments have That's why we come back every time in Barbados
However this apartment was maybe not up to the high end that the others have been and is in need of a bit of tlc. Kitchen is tired with warped doors and facia needing replaced. Headboard in master room badly stained from a/c, bathroom fittings loose including shower tap , rugs needing cleaned, master duvet wasn't wide enough for bed.
Didn't upset our stay however didn't reflect the price we paid , same as all the other apartments Therefore maybe a bit disappointed this time
Service from concierge, housekeeper, and reservations was all helpful and nice and efficient

A little dated
517 is looking a bit dated, really need the furniture updating as the cushions are a little flat, everything it's fully working, just a worked a little too much. The whole apartment just needs a spruce up.
Sapphire beach is lovely as always, except the beach that has quite a lot of smelly seaweed, I would check the which season the seaweed comes as it's quite unbearable on the beach.
