Per the owner:
We discovered Sapphire Beach Resort when friends of ours invited us to stay in their unit over 10 years ago and immediately fell in love with the resort and area. We purchased our condo shortly after and were fortunate to get such a beautiful unit. We have incredible ocean views from our 2 bedroom, renovated unit with a private balcony. The staff are friendly and accommodating, many have been there for many years and welcome us back each year. It's a quieter atmosphere, although they plan fun events, such as pizza night, bingo, happy hour and more by the poolside bar and restaurant. The concierge is always helpful at planning excursions around the island. We feel safe taking early walks to grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants.
We love exploring the island, enjoying both the Dutch and French side for shopping and dining. A favorite place to check out is the Loterie Farm, a tropical sanctuary with fabulous food and drink at the Jungle Room restaurant, also offers activities of ziplining, hiking and the island's only spring-fed pool. Catch the sunset right next door to Sapphire Resort at Dany's Cupecoy Beach Bar with the best tropical drinks and friendly atmosphere.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
