Sand Sapphire Beach Cottages

South Goa

"Seaescape by Sand Sapphire Goa was a complete disappointment. Despite providing private parking, they take zero responsibility if anything happens to your vehicle. And guess what? They don't even have a security guard for the parking area, so the chances of your vehicle getting stolen are pretty high.

To add insult to injury, when our vehicle got hit by a truck while parked there, they refused to provide us with the CCTV footage and only showed it to us once. Talk about lack of transparency!

On top of all that, they require you to pay the full amount for the booking upfront and offer no refunds if you decide to leave early. And don't even get me started on the cleanliness of the rooms. They didn't even bother to clean them once during our stay!

To make matters worse, they charge for every little thing, including water bottles and ice. It's like they're trying to nickel and dime you at every turn.

Based on my experience, I strongly advise against visiting this property. Their service, security, and safety standards are a complete letdown. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for accommodation."

Hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Pathetic stay with Zero security

Oh, where do I even begin with this gem of a place in Goa? Let's start with the breathtaking lack of cleanliness – it's like they're aiming for that rustic, authentic feel, complete with dust bunnies as roommates. And don't get me started on the broken AC – who needs cool air in a tropical paradise, right? 

The pièce de résistance? The washroom door that decides privacy is overrated and refuses to lock, ensuring your companions get an eyeful of your bathroom ballet. But fear not, the adventure doesn't end there! Their private parking lot doubles as a car demolition derby, ensuring your vehicle returns home with a souvenir dent or two. 

Oh, and the culinary delights! The food is so-so, but the prices? Well, let's just say you'll be reminiscing about that overpriced ice cube like it's a long-lost lover. And room service? Who needs it when you can embark on a scavenger hunt for basic amenities instead?

And let's not forget the electrifying experience of the power cuts – a delightful surprise to keep you on your toes, especially during those romantic candlelit dinners. Overall, a stay here is like a rollercoaster ride – thrilling, in a "what fresh hell is this?" kind of way.

Pathetic Place in South Goa

I stayed at Sand Sapphire for 5 days. First of all, this is neither a hotel nor a resort. It's more like a 2-star lodge. So keep your expectations low with the staff as well as the property. Good things about the property -

1) Right on the Agonda beach.
2) Has  in-house beach-facing restaurant.
3) Huts are clean and the staff is cooperative.
4) Food was good.

Not so good part - [ Reasons to avoid this property ]

1) Huts scream maintenance.  Bathroom walls are cracked, which is a big privacy issue. There are better huts available at the same/lesser price next to SandSapphire and they are very well maintained.

2) This place doesn't have a power backup and a refrigerator inside rooms which is a deal breaker for lots of people who wants to enjoy cheap beer.

3) Their sea-facing rooms are not glass covered which could be a problem if you are a light sleeper since at night sea tides get noisy and their ac also make noise.

4) Everything is overpriced (especially if you book online) and that includes in house restaurant also. During my stay I never saw more than 1-2 guest in their resturant and thats because there are better resturants within 500mtr which offer better value for your money.  

5) People here (especially in Goa) are more interested in serving the foreigner as compared to local. One can always see that in the staff's attitude and cunning smile. 

6) The room in which we stayed doesnt even have dressing table/ mirror. They only provide 1 liter water for 2 person in the rooms. If you need more they wont mind charging you for that ( 30 Rs per liter). They dont even change towel/bedsheets everyday.

Overall its a pretty average stay considering the price.

Pretty basic beach huts [ not well maintained]

Checked in for 1 day only. The cottage is decent but there was no TV or even power backup, which is surprising for the price they charge. Food was decent, tea was good. They had a hand shower outside the cottage to wash of the sand, was pretty useful which I didn't find in other properties.

Average stay

This is my second time staying at Sand Sapphire. All members of the staff are courteous and helpful. Rooms are spacious clean en suite rooms. The Sea Facing room I stayed in was perfect, it's built on a raised platform with an amazing view (book early if you want the Sea View cottages). Its right on the beach with an in-house restaurant. Perfect location with friendly staff, Surendar was helpful.

Lovely Beach cottages in Agonda

It was a pleasure staying in Sand Sapphire. The ambiance was really great. The Staffs are friendly and very helping.

Even though we were late for check out, they didn't charge any thing extra from us.

The in-house restaurant is very good and cheap.

Overall the experience was brilliant .We enjoyed  our weekend getaway a lot in there. I will be definitely staying there again during all my future visits.

Business Trip

A very brief but amazing stay in a beautiful wooden cottage.  The food was amazing, service first class, we felt very welcome at Sand Sapphire, Sanju couldn't do enough for us - treated like royalty! can't wait to return.

Beautiful haven

Once again a perfect time in Goa, enjoying the company of Sanja and his friends this time it was at Sand Sapphire. Perfect large clean room and the view was amazing looking all the way down Agonda beach, plus the fantastic sun set's. The food was excellent lots of choices plus Sanjay will provide other dishes on request not on the menu, nothing is too much trouble. Thanks Sanjay and the boys, can't wait to see you next year x

Perfect

My wife and i were staying at Fernandez Wooden Cottages in Palolem and Sanjay used to work there but he has moved up to running his own place The Sand Saphire in Agonda.
We had let him know we were coming to stay with him for two nights .
He was so welcoming we chatted for ages he really is a lovely guy, nothing is too much trouble for him 
and the accomodation is really nice .
The beach is a lot quieter than Palolem but that might suit some people. 
Altogether a great time we even stayed for three nights instead of two well done Sanjay

Sanjay the perfect host

Stayed 5 days in February, after 2 weeks in  palolem. Knew Sanjay from Fernandez there so knew standards would be high. We weren't dissapointed. Loved it. Peaceful ,huge rooms ,great sea view.and delicious food. Nothing too much trouble for all the staff. Thanks lads. See you next year.
