We visited St Maartens for seven too- short days. The beaches were fabulous! To get the most from your stay, rent a car. Confusing at first, you learn the routes fairly quickly and the autonomy is...

Nervous about Esmeralda?

My husband & I stayed at the Esmeralda in June 2008. We were very nervous since a few days AFTER I booked the Esmeralda there were two horrible reviews. We heard about everything from the resort being...

We recently stayed a week at the Esmeralda and weren't sure what to expect. The room was okay but nothing spectacular - kind of felt like an average room at a local beach. When we first checked in,...

Came back to Esmeralda after a disappointing experience two years ago; everything was just wonderful. Quality control had been addressed. We stayed in a large superior room. Very clean, not one...

My wife and I stayed here last year and greatly enjoyed it. Location is great, rooms are clean, and price was good. We did not, however, interact with the staff other than checking in and out. This...

We were concerned about this hotel because it had mixed reviews. We loved it! We have stayed at places ranging from the Ritz Carlton to Hostels before, and this place was somewhere in between. It...

If anyone says this resort is bad, they have to be on drugs. We were at Esmeralda in May of 2008. The place is great. Well kept grounds. Great and helpful staff (wish I could remember the girl at the...

Esmerelda is located on a great part of the island and the beach was terrific. The "resort" is not a resort at all. There are barely any amenities to speak of, including the sad fact that there wasn't...

Very difficult to write a review of this resort, since our experience was a great deal out outside the norm. To begin with, we rented a deluxe suite through Travelocity and stayed 3 nights before...

We recently returned from 1 week at Esmeralda Resort in St. Martin. Orient Beach is the most beautiful we've seen in several vacations in the Caribbean and Mexico. Loved the walks along the beach and...
