Great location

We love Emerald for our shorter family trips - you can't beat the location and convenience! The venue itself has not been upgraded in years, so wear and tear on the property is becoming noticeable but service is good, and it works well for those who want to use it as a home base.

Just overnight stay going to and leaving St.John VI. Hotel room very clean esp. the bathroom, nice large illuminated mirrors in bathroom. Nice balcony and almost right on the beach, beautiful. Lunch and dinner in Cafe at hotel and again at the beach and open air. Enjoyed my day there.

Noisy!

The shack renting jetskis etc. is right in front of building 1 and plays music at high volume all day long. Closing the doors does not do much to help with the noise.

Lovely Beach, that's about it, Look elswhere

I have only ended a stay early about 3 times, this is one of them. Check in was less than clean, fyi you can’t use virtual card numbers or an Apple Card. The room was mediocre at best. The bed was like sleeping on pallet of cardboard boxes. The pillows, like the Backstreet Boys, were well past their prime. There were literally no places to hang wet towels. The shower pressure was non existent, and the hot water was down right unpredictable. It took a solid 3 min to get hot water and it was scolding hot, and without touching anything after 60ish seconds it would go cold again. It would oscillate between these two extremes. The AC was a ductless unit, but the compressor was on the balcony which meant if you wanted to keep the room cool, you were blasting the balcony with hot air. The “coffee” bar only served cold style coffees using cold brew that was made days previous. The internet was 1mbps on a good day, not a joke or exaggeration. All of these issues were raised with the front desk and no action was taken. The beach was lovely, not lovely enough to stay there again.

Spend your money on a better hotel

We had 2queen beds, one was passable on comfort and the other horrible. Blankets had substantial wear, tears, in them; no place to hang wet towels or store clothes in drawers. The local jet ski rental companies were a nuisance. The hotel is in need of repairs/upgrading. Surrounding neighborhoods not great. Will not stay here again. Now the plus was it was right on the beach,had a pool/restaurant which was ok; a coffee cafe/kiosk. People were all very helpful and friendly at the hotel. The room was spacious but needed to trade some of the furnishings for a dresser.

Great location to the airport for one night stay

After checking in and receiving our room key in the furthest building from the lobby, our key did not work for our room twice the second time we were given a key to open the door. It was actually to somebody’s room who is occupying it already Yikes!!! We have stayed at this resort many times. It is perfect for a one night stay before moving onto St. John. Yes, It’s a little tired, but our beds were clean and the beach is an extra. Our bartender did a great job he was definitely hustling to keep people well served. I do expect the island time service on the island but at least eye contact from your waitress or waiter in the restaurant would be greatly appreciated just knowing that they acknowledge that you’re there. This resort is a gem, but is definitely in need of a refresher.

Lovely beach close to the airport, the hotel rooms were clean.lovely view and the sound of the ocean was very relaxing. Despite proximity to the Airport It was not too disturbing. The staff were wonderful. we quickly learned to slow down . dining area frequently only had 2 staff , but food was lovely when it arrived. On Wednesday and Thursday big cruise days a lot of extra people came to the beach and It became louder. Hotel has frequent short stays due to people going to other Islands or staying prior to Returning to the 🇺🇸. It was family friendly. The reception staff , were exceptionally helpful and held our bags both in checkin and departure to allow us use the facilities while waiting for our rooms or departure to Airport. Plenty of parking for those who hired cars. Taxi’s available easilly. little public transport. I reccomend this resort for quick get away
