Attorney Services
Sapphire Timeshare Cancellation works with the Lucas Law Firm exclusively. The owner, Raymond J. Lucas, Esq., is a local Florida lawyer in practice for more than 24 years. Sapphire works closely with experienced attorneys who practice consumer protection law and timeshare relief. This is the kind of ethical practice that gets results. We recommend exit companies who at least have an option for legal services. This is the only way Sapphire cancels timeshare contracts.
Sapphire’s Four-Step Process
- Firstly, the free informational call and then completion of contracts. Once the client is on board with Sapphire, their payment goes directly into an escrow account.
- Within the first thirty days, Sapphire will send legal documentation to all timeshare parties to cease payments, foreclosures and negate negative credit marks.
- Continual communication with all entities for the next 6-12 months or longer.
- Legal documentation is sent to all three credit agencies to protect the integrity of your credit.
- Lastly, the client receives a notarized letter releasing them of all timeshare obligations.
Note: Sapphire does attempt to get refunds for their clients, although this is never a guarantee. If they are unsuccessful in releasing you from your deed, however, you will receive 100% of your money back.

About Page
Sapphire is the only exit company we’ve come across so far that is licensed, insured, and bonded in the US. And, they handle almost all timeshare developers. We recommend contacting Sapphire to see if your developer qualifies for their exit program.
The company states that they provide consistent updates and have open lines of communication throughout the entire cancellation process. And most of the reviews we’ve read do back up this claim.
Sapphire Timeshare Cancellation has a risk management firm in their arsenal of exit weaponry but doesn’t mention which firm they use. Our advice is always to research every aspect of an exit company before hiring them.
“Sapphire uses consumer laws, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and existing state mandates to obtain a written, notarized release.”
Note: This is the only type of exit that guarantees you’ll be free from your timeshare debt and any future liability.

Not all timeshare exit companies can promise mortgage balance cancellation. Most won’t even bring you on as a client unless your mortgage is paid in full. But this is not the case with Sapphire. Is there any stone left unturned in their complete exit process? We think not.
Sapphire’s Blog
There are about fifteen posts that delve into ethical timeshare exiting practices. Before you go any further, we recommend grabbing a cup of coffee and reading some of these posts. They will get you started understanding how the exiting process works.
Cost of Services
Sapphire Timeshare Cancellation charges a flat-rate fee. Fees are based on each client’s unique situation, not the debt amount owed to the developer. Most timeshare exit companies base their cost based on how much you still owe on your timeshare, and if you owe a mortgage, then your price is typically a lot higher than if your timeshare is paid off. We found one review which stated Sapphire quoted a potential client a $2,400 flat fee rate. That is definitely on the lower end of timeshare exit costs.
Sapphire’s Ratings
The overall consensus is positive across the board. Facebook 5/5 out of 8 reviews, they have 25, 5-star rating on Business Consumer Alliance, and 4.78/5 stars out of 49 reviews on the Better Business Bureau.
One client wrote that Sapphire told them that they would be out of their contract within 12 months. If Sapphire didn’t succeed during this time frame, they’d work an extra 12 months for no further cost.
This is great! However, even though representatives for any exit company may promise you extra incentives, please also have everything in writing sent to you. It’s the only way to protect yourself.
Better Business Bureau
Most reviews are positive with the BBB, and clients are raving about the quality of customer care and overall happiness with the service Sapphire Timeshare Cancellation provides.
The only 1-star review we found was from a client who did not end up hiring the firm. He stated that Scott, an employee of Sapphire, discouraged him from calling his timeshare developer to cancel his contract directly with the resort. So, he decided to contact his developer anyway. They immediately agreed to terminate the deed.
Sapphire did respond to the review:
“We sincerely apologize that was your experience with us. Scott is no longer with our company because of not following our ethical procedures. We always encourage our clients to contact their timeshare company before entering our program.”
There are no formal complaints filed with the BBB at this time.
