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.

Poor customer service
The location is great and all rooms face the beach with a large balcony. During our stay the power went out the morning we needed to check out. So we had no power or water to get ready to leave, they would not allow us to check out an hour late to give us time to use the toilet and shower. With no electricity the restaurant and coffee bar were also not open.

The resort was a short walk from the airport, my 7 year old did it with no problem. The resort was right on the beach with access to water activities and food. Great 3 day getaway.

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.
