"It’s ok for the price, hard to travel to and from when it comes to town, the best part is the airport is next door and the staff was great, the hotel need updates,& the gym is a no go…most likely I will never stay there again…"
"It's an older hotel dilapidated definitely needs love
You can see where it used to be a big hotel but now a lot of empty space where things used to be where the hotel used to thrive I assume"

"The staff is the shining star of Emerald Resort. The resort is in need of updating, it has a great location and all the rooms face the beach but it is rundown. Which gives off as not being clean. At breakfast one of my travel companions' breakfast came with butter packets and one of the butter packets had already been used. Plus the sugar bowl had empty packets in it and the jelly packets had food smeared on the bottom which says they reuse them for other guests."
"If my review was solely on the view and the staff it would be a perfect review
However the rooms and property need maintenance the sliding glass doors need roller replacement little hot water
The pool was great and we were treated to a barbecue
The on-site restaurant has excellent food and dining choices we had dinner there enjoyed the seafood soup the shrimp tarts and jerk chicken pasta
Also included in stay was breakfast which was very hearty eggs potato’s and bacon
However no where to get coffee before 8 am and no coffee in room and restaurant hours not posted
Also shows on Expedia short walk to the castle etc it is not walkable anywhere
You need to take taxis
But the views were amazing"
