“Ok hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

Was an okay experience. Food is overprized for the quality, but it is convenient. My room didnt had towels. When I realized it, around 10:30pm, I called the frot desk and the lady said she was the onlynight shift and that she couldnt bring me towels. She said I needed to stop by to pick beach towels by the front desk because she was by herself. Next morning the manager and I hada chat.

Room Tip: Get higher floor rooms for a better view.

“Beautiful beach – friendly environment”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2013

The hotel was nice, the staff was very friendly and courteous, the rooms were clean, cool and comfortable with great views, and the beach was great! The food and drinks were good – nothing over the top, but decent.
Yes, the airport is close – but it didn’t bother us.
All in all, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the beach…I would stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on at least the 2nd floor (away from the bar/restaurant) with an ocean front view.

“Going Down for the 2nd Time Right Trip, Right Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2013

Paradise still exists about a ten minute walk from the airport. Lindbergh Bay is steps away from your departure from the airport. Yup Jebadiah is still there minus his blond dreds but still there with an added attraction 1 young lady by the name of Megan who is the most polite person I have ever met. Yeah to the folks who hired her. U get a well prepared drink expiditiously with a smile N a thank you for ordering!! W O W. Staff is perfected in the personage of one Ms. Tiffany (a shout out to you and your son.) Manager, Ms. Lake is right there to solve what you percieve as a problem. I've been a few places N it don't get much better than this.
See you guys soon, real soon. Check out Greg, the Chairman of the Beach Chairs, another one at your service all the time.

Room Tip: higher floors have less noise. tho, only 3 stories high

“Had the best vacation ever!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

This trip was booked after my hubby couldn't get a passport. It was the best screw up ever. The beach was absolutely amazing. In comparison to the other beaches on the island, this was by far the cleanest and most spectacular. Other reviews mentioned the airport being close by. Didnt bother us at all. We went for a romantic getaway and got just that. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. The balcony was our best place to be. No problem with bugs or anything. Just great experience. I came back pregnant with my first child. Love was in the air and in the water. :) Side note: Bring your own flotation devices - you won't regret it.

Room Tip: Take a room on the second floor. It overlooks the beach and the trees and shrubbary will not block...

“February 2013”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

The beach is beautiful, white sand & clear water. Best of all it is not crowded. The hotel is clean with comfortable mattresses. The staff is very freindly. We were a little confused with the restaurants. There is a beach bar with burgers and such. The other restaurant is the Plams for breakfast and lunch. Dinner it is the same restaurant but it is called Portabellos. Breakfast was awesome great banana pancakes and breakfast potatoes. Portabellos for dinner was excellent but a little pricey at $25- $30 per meal. We took the local dollar bus several times, the people are very freindly. Make sure to say "Good Morning" and "Good Afternoon". We met a tour guide on St.Thomas named Juan DeLeon he took us on a 3 hour tour for $80 for four of us. He was very nice and family oriented. He can be reached at 340-642-7257. The other tour guides wanted around $50 each. The airport is close but there are not many flights in and out, and we never heard any after 8:00. It was actually neat to be in the ocean and see and hear the planes take off and arrive. We would stay here again as we really enjoyed the resort. It was a more middle age resort. No late night partying and people were up early in the ocean and running on the beach.

I am pleased that you had such an enjoyable stay at Emerald Beach Resort and found our staff friendly, our location beautiful, our food and service wonderful! You will have to try "Fajita's", the restaurant located at our Sister Resort, Carib Beach Resort. We provide shuttle service between the two resorts for your convenience. It seems that you found our Island Paradise very friendly and welcoming and even enjoyed our customary island greetings! We look forward to welcoming you back to Emerald Beach on your next visit.
