I enjoyed revisiting fond memories of the old Sapphire in the 90s when every weekend was the Sunday beach party. With music, dancing, and plenty of people. Now however, it’s a ghost town after 7/8pm. Total disappointment since I told my son all about the Sunday parties. I lived in St Thomas for 6yrs and understand the financial devastation after experiencing Hugo. It seems to me Sapphire Resort has lost the motivation and pride in maintaining what still exist regardless of the financial ability to fully renovate. For example the pool area obviously took a big hit, probably many times but there is no reason why the pool area cannot be kept clean and orderly. Such as sweeping tree debris daily. The pool area was a mess. The rooms had a strong smell of mildew and previous moisture that has lingered, so much so I sprayed my cologne around the room daily. Recognizing we were beach front however, there was more than enough sand on the floor which made it apparent the floor cleaning detail was less than adequate for new arrivals. The TV electronics for both sets were an electrical nightmare of intertwined cables cords and hanging electric strips. The room was a decent size and the beach view was very nice! Again the view could have been improved with a little inexpensive TLC. What little we saw of the staff left me with a good impression, pleasant and happy we were there! As I said from the beginning I believe Sapphire has allowed the resort slip through the cracks. TAS
