We stayed at Esmeralda Resort 3/24/2013 - 3/30/2013. Accommodations were very clean, asked and received an upgrade to Superior Room upon checking in (thank you Leo!). Received the unit closest to the restaurant/front desk which was very convenient for us. A very short walk to the beach (no rooms had "ocean view" but you could hear the ocean from our... More

This is my second stay in the last six months. Once again the resort itself was beautiful and peaceful and I cannot complain. The pool is absolutely gorgeous. The front desk personnel are accommodating especially Jeanine. She was always extremely courteous and always provided valuable advise as to places to visit on the island. Ice was also readily available at... More

We have stayed at the Esmeralda Resort on two occasions. The staff were responsive and non intrusive. The rooms closest to the beach were our favorite, with a side garden view. These rooms provided privacy, yet easy access to the villa pools. We loved going to the small shops within the "complex" for picnic style dinners with wine on our... More

My husband and I spent four nights at the Esmeralda Resort in early April. It had been recommended by a work colleague, who has been going to the resort for something like sixteen years. I wasn't so sure when I visited the web page, which I find to be a little off-putting. We booked, based on the recommendation, and then... More

The villa at this resort were so spacious and extremely clean. Each and everyday after the housekeeper was finished cleaning the villa, you could smell the cleanliness of the room. Although there were a few tiny ants on the bathroom counter, but they weren't much of a problem. The room was huge with a pretty porch in the back of... More

I need to say that mostly good reviews I've read before staying in "Esmeralda Resort" seem fair, but they did not prepare me to feel as a second rate customer on the beach (Coco beach). It appears that you are supposed to tip beach boys or buy a lot of drinks on the beach or have a lunch in Coco... More

Esmeralda resort is located on Orient Beach, with a beautiful mountain viewl. When you check in, you are given a card with your room #, and your check out date. You can use this card to charge food/drinks at any of the restaurants listed on the back of the card. I think there are about 5 you can use your... More

We just finished one week stay here. Let me summarize this hotel as easily as possible. Everything in our room was spotless. the property was well maintained and clean. The porch was great to sit out on by the pool and was freshly painted etc. Much more updated than the Alamanda where we last stayed in 2010. The TV is... More

We were catching a flight from St Maarten to connect with our transatlantic flight in Antigua and our ferry from St Barths was cancelled so we needed a hotel for the night. Unable to face a highrise under the flight path in Maho beach we chose the Esmerelda Resort. Arriving at night we were greeted by a cheerful fellow who... More
