Overall this is a decent property to stay at. The view of the ocean was beautiful from the room. The pool is cold to refresh you from that hot sun. Room was clean and they bring towels/wash cloths daily. The food options are limited however and service does take a while at the actual restaurant. Lunch service was not as slow as dinner even though it was more crowded. The rice and peas as a side option was really good. The cafe service was faster with breakfast sandwiches, muffins and pastries to choose from along with coffee. The taxi situation outside the property can be a hassle if you are going further into the island than the nearby touristy areas. Be prepared to leave early for any excursions you have booked to leave plenty of time to arrive by taxi.

The room was overall clean and smelled clean when we arrived , the front desk staff was always nice and courteous. The restaurant lacks service and it takes forever to get anyone to come to your table for even a drink . The beach bar is the best place to get waited on appropriately. (we wanna say how much we enjoyed Thomas) The little cafe i only saw open once during our stay which was disappointing. The hotel is not really in walking distance to anything , so u will have to taxi to and from everywhere, but do note there is no ATM on site and the taxis only take cash , so if u are planning a longer stay like we had , u will definitely want to venture out due to the lack of amenities. Also, the menu changes with breakfast lunch and dinner but there aren’t many options on each one and u will tire of the same food over and over. the beach is lovely and clean and sandy. views from the room balcony were beautiful. Pool area is clean. Bathrooms by the pool area could use a little TLC , but that is mostly due to the cruise ship traffic. overall is it a place meant for relaxation and enjoying the Caribbean breeze which it gave us so i happily give the 4 stars. However, if you are looking for a more lively island experience this will not be the place for you . I do find it was slightly overpriced for what is available to you on site , no breakfast included , the bar closes at 9 but beach towels and umbrellas ARE available for hotel guest use.

The property is beautiful. The rooms were clean. The staff was nice. The food was kind of expensive though. My biggest complaint is the beds. It was probably the worst beds I’ve ever slept on and I do a lot of traveling. Overall was a good experience, but I don’t know if I’d go back just because of the beds.

Our room was clean and had an amazing view of the bay. The restaurant is not great. We ate there twice and food came out cold, service was very slow, difficult to get refills for drinks. The bar was good. The quick food cabana was fine just not a lot of selection and they run out quickly so if you want that, go early. They also ran out of beach towels daily so make sure to bring your own. Staff was friendly and the beach is amazing. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We would stay here again. But food options are limited and it’s not within walking distance of anything. We overall enjoyed our stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Emerald Beach Resort! The staff were lovely - friendly and helpful and the food and beverages were good. That said, service was much slower than we're used to - so check your expectations of instant gratification at the door when visiting a place on "island time." Food took up to 1.5 hours to arrive after ordering (having more waitstaff on hand likely would have helped). Have a "Pain Killer"- THE island drink - while you wait. Food more reasonably priced here than other parts of the island. Rooms nice enough and offer wonderful view and you can hear the waves when you sleep. Loved the beach and lots of activities for kids, including a floating, bouncy-house style obstacle course. Only downsides are beach and restaurant/bar can get crowded when cruise ships drop their passengers for a day; also hotel next to airport so planes fly overhead often, including in the middle of the night. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here...was friendly and down to earth.
