My stay at Emerald Beach was truly amazing, highlighted by a massive bed and breathtaking views from the room. The location right on the beach is perfect for relaxation, and I loved the variety of water activities available. However, the dining options, while decent, could have been better, and I wished there had been more amenities available like towels. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend!

My experience at this resort was quite disappointing. While the location is convenient and the beach view is stunning, the rooms left much to be desired, and the overall service was lacking.

My stay was quite a mix of experiences. On one hand, the beach was gorgeous and the location was great since it is close to the airport. However, the state of the resort left much to be desired with worn-down facilities and issues in cleanliness. While I appreciated the friendly front desk staff, the overall service experience was inconsistent, especially in the restaurant. It's unfortunate, as the potential for a relaxing getaway was overshadowed by numerous maintenance issues.

Emerald Beach Resort has some great attributes like a lovely beachfront location and a nice view from the balcony.
