The staff was excellent. Nick at the bar was great. The staff was limited and overworked. The property in building 2 room 2102 was horrible I saw a roach. Wood was warped, closet broke tub old and black at the bottom.The structure of the building was unsafe to be in. My facet to my tub shower feel off and which made the water run and had to be shut off. Then they thought we could stay in a room with no running water all night,, no toilet or nothing,,,nonono Leak from above property. Beach is not cleaned. Was lied to and told was put in a newly renovated room. Finally was moved to a new room on my last night. I was refund for a few dollars but it should have been free. I was told it was a budget friendly resort. I was told the are working on getting things fixed and they had not gotten to my room yet. My question was Why are you renting that room? I felt unsafe but they are working on things. I need to be. by chosen by Emerald Beach resort to do a test for free on thie newest renovation project. Hell I was already put in the worst room I guess they wanted a review on the worst rooms like survey for charge. Tv and Wi-Fi doesn’t work at the bar. The pool is beautiful. I have pictures but even feel like looking at them. 07/30/24 was my check out day. We stayed 5 days my Bestie and I. Oh and the ice machine on the first floor are broken we had to go to the bar for ice. Property is close to the airport.

The staffs are friendly. The beach is clear and clean. The resort needs some general TLC. Although the resort is next to the airport, the noises are mostly from the roosters. The resort has a lot of chickens and roosters. The roosters start screaming like 5:30 A.M throughout the day and it is annoying when you try to sleep. There was a beach towel shortage daily. It made the stay very inconvenient. The room looked clean however there was a roach crawling on the bed the 2nd day. There was no running water for 2 hours between 4 to 6:30 P.M on the first day.

Everything was great we stayed one night on our way to Tortola! Only one thing was we went to the beach bar and also went swimming but they had run out of beach towels at 7:00pm! So a bit disappointing.. but bar was nice and we ate casusl dinner there which was great! Beautiful views and great beach! Convenient for airport.

There were taxis readily available which is nice to get you where you need to go. It’s only about a 5 minute ride from the airport and the rooms were very nice for the price. Also the view of the beach is a plus

The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean on arrival and kept clean daily. Parking lot was fair compared to other city parking. The buildings are old but kept in good repair. The beach was beautiful!! The walls were thin and we could hear conversations in the rooms around us. Water pressure was lacking and the water alternated steaming hot and cold. When we booked the description said private beach, but truck loads of cruise passengers were brought in. Also, we had to rent a beach chair on our own beach, this was not included. The worst was the smell of pot from the moment we opened our car door and stepped out till the moment we left. The people renting beach equipment sat below our balcony smoking pot daily, so even in our room we could not escape the stench.

Very nice beach! Great beach bar and restaurant. Nice pool. Downsides? The airport is right next door so you hear the planes. But it’s not that busy so it’s not too bad. In fact you can walk to the hotel from the airport. About 300 yards.

For a hotel close the the airport, this was a very good expeience. Everything was clean, the convience of having a restaurant and bar on the property made it very nice to not have to venture out to find food. The beach is excellent and very beautiful with no rocks or seaweed.
