Good
Pros:

The spacious rooms
The clean linen and towels
The lighting in the rooms

Cons:

The response time for requests, for example;
- i asked if the hotel has a weighing scale so that we can weigh our bags, they said they have and will check but never came back to us.
- i asked if the hotel could make a wake up call because we were catching an early morning flight, they said they will do it but never did.
- I called the reception to check what TV channels i could switch to watch football, they said they needed to check with someone, but they never came back

We
Pros:

We actually stayed at Hotel Blue Sapphire for six nights. The lobby and our room were beautiful, the staff very welcoming and provided above and beyond what could be expected. We loved their restaurant.

Cons:

The surroundings weren’t scenic. Walks were safe but not enjoyable because of the surroundings but enjoyable tours were available within a reasonable distance, as was the Indian Ocean. High temperatures were made less difficult because of the lovely ocean breeze.

Pros:

Very helpful staff. I did not get my luggage so they went extra way to help me find necessary additional clothes.
Very quiet room. Comfortable bed. Excellent diverse breakfast.
