I booked 5 nights at Esmeralda K in a "bathroom room, sea front" ... regarding the cost by night (around 130 USD) i was not expecting a luxury room but, at least, a clean and comfortable one. they call it a "Eco chic resort"... to be honest, this concept appears to be the most swindle i've ever seen !! everything... more

We stayed for 3 nights at Esmeralda. Staff was great, very accomodating (we were with our young daughter). Restarant food was good, a bit on the expensive side. There was suppose to be power in the mornings and evenings, but it was only on in the evenings. The accomodation is basic but clean. Very relaxing place to stay. My only... more

We just returned from a week at Esmeralda K and overall we were very pleased. The accomodations were very simple, aesthetically pleasing but quite basic and primitive. If you go with the right head space you will not be disappointed. This is mexico after all...things are slower, more gentle. The staff responded to our requests, but sometimes things took more... more

We booked over the phone and were told not to use their reservation site nor to send emails. When we called 2 days before, they have lost the reservation. We called 4 times and they could not pass us a manager nor spell our names correctly. On the day of arrival, they found a room. Not only no one helped... more

My mother booked a reservation with the Esmerelda K through the property's sales staff in Miami. When we arrived at 3:30pm (check-in starts at 3pm) the desk staff told us we did not have a reservation and that they were sold out. We showed the staffer our pre-paid reservation confirmation and pled our case, but to no avail. She said... more

Very nice cabana in Maya/Thai style. If you want peace and quiet and a sunny beautiful beach on the Riviera Maya, this is the place. We had a bed hanging from the 7 m high ceiling, with mosquito net (although we had no mosquitos). Quiet beach, with roughly 10 people on the beach each day. Some chairs, matrasses, hangmats to... more

I just returned from a trip to the Yucatan with my mother and my sister. We are three very different people with very different standards (mine fall between theirs). While my sister was nostalgic for her nights spent on a hammock without electricity, private bath or even walls, my 75 year old mother needed something a little more civilized (me,... more

Very dark inside even during the day. Unable to see your belongings etc. Shower and toilet not separate to the point where the toilet paper gets damp. Woke up and there was a rat which I was told was not a rat but a baby possum. Definitly would not go back. more

My husband and I stayed at the Esmeralda K in early August and I think the word that sums up the whole experience for me is just "satisfactory". My husband appreciated it a bit more than I. It was a little too laid back for my taste. We checked out a number of properties before deciding on the Esmeralda. We... more
