Emerald Beach Resort

.

Belle plage

The hotel was good for a couple nights, but I would probably look elsewhere if I were to visit again. The close proximity to the airport is nice as it only requires a short walk, but you will hear planes all day every day flying above, even in your room. Rooms are not ready early so if you fly in before check in, be prepared to leave your luggage in the hallway behind the front desk. Perhaps bring a change of clothes so you can enjoy the beach until your room is ready. The signage at the resort as it relates to the restaurant and bar have old information and the hours are not as late as stated. This goes for the information binders in the room as well. The room was clean overall except for the bathroom, which still had hair on the walls. The onsite restaurant was hit or miss. Like I said, the hours listed were wrong so I almost missed dinner one night but thankfully they let me place a takeout order. It's pretty pricey but you're kind of stuck because there's nothing else around unless you're going to take a taxi. Menus are scarce, the food is inconsistent, and staff is not attentive. I understand it's a cheaper option than others around the island, but when charging over $300 a night, I expect a little better.

Emerald Bay Beach Resort is highlighted by an amazing beach. The resort itself, rooms and grounds would really benefit from a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. We were very thankful that the front desk staff allowed us to check in at 10:30 am. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff on property were just ok. Not very friendly. It is very convenient for flying out the next day as it is right next to the airport. Because of that, it can get very noisy at times. Overall, a good stay, but there were definitely some opportunities missed by the staff that could have made our stay much better.
