Want the luxuries of basic living in the US? Dont come here. Prepare to be ignored, lied to, and general unfullfillment of promises. On a positive note the drink titled The "Painkiller" at the bar is incredibly good. Wont be back...

The property was close to the airport and had a parking lot for our rental car. It was a quiet property, besides the air planes, which was good and bad. The pool is very nice and the beach is clean and beautiful. The rooms had good views but were very basic and there was a very old tiny fridge. The bathroom mirrors were awesome, but the shower had very, very low pressure, there was no water when we first checked in for our vacation. And besides the mirror and sink everything else was dated. The whole resort could use a bit of updating. But all in all we didnt spend a lot of time there, so it was fine for my family. The people were nice enough, but not overly friendly. The one resturant and "bar" is all outside and the bar was closed by 10. Not many activities on property to do. The cafe though had excellent coffe! And the gift shop was very reasonably priced. We would stay here again, but aim for a better room than the one we got this time.

I think the resort needs a lot of work this isn’t a resort it’s a hotel on the beach. Speaking of beach the beach caters to the cruise people over the hotel guest. The restaurant and bar opens when it’s wants to open not when it says it’s opened I was there for a week and the place was never opened for breakfast as advertised. 1 day it didn’t even open at all. And when it it opened it doesn’t even serve the food on the menu. This is not a resort at all this is a hotel on the beach. It has no activities for its guest and like I said prior it caters to cruise people in ver the hotel guest themselves. I will go back to Saint Thomas but I’ll never go back to emerald beach resort. Oh and before I forget they even turned the water off in the hotel without even notice

I spent a lot or money for my family and i to have a 4 day vacation and it was not what I expected. The lobby needs update. Beach towels not accessible, they always ran out. the staff at the restaurant were not available to take your order for 20mins then food took an hour to come out. The food was cold upon arrival. There was only one guy taking the order and he always looked exhausted. My sheets were dirty spilled with chocolate on it and the next day they made the bed without changing the sheets. I had to sleep with the same dirty sheets. Water was turned off was not able to flush the toilet. No hot water at times to shower. Tried speaking to manager was not accommodating. He dismissed my concerns. I did not enjoy my stay there. Will not go back there.

The beach view is great! Loved that it is right on the water. Most front desk associates were lovely but 1 younger larger lady was very rude. I didnt get her name but another guest checking in said something as well once we left the front lobby. The tv didnt work from the time we arrived. I had mentioned it to this same lady and upon check out it still had not been fixed. The service at the restaurant was mediocre. Most day server's, are on island time. There was a massive hole above my room door outside and a bird lived there. Which caused fecal matter to be on the stairs. It also flew out anytime the door was open. The pool area was clean minus the old wooden highchair, lack of landscaping and debris/sand filled water. The beach was definitely the best part of the hotel. The access and being able to hear the waves from the room. Speaking of room- they never changed the bedding and my top blanket had a cigarette burn. All and all the locals and beach made the experience but wouldnt recommend for a long time family trip. Gives off a hostel hotel type vibe.

Pool towels for the pool was never available to use they were always either in the washer or the dryer . The food was over priced for the guest to stay at the resort and I can’t say I enjoyed eating any of it. The last day I began to see roaches. The only thing I enjoyed was access to the public ocean.

The property is generally in rough shape… - The shower only had really really hot water or cold. - Rust on the bathroom fixtures. - We found a rouge pair of underwear under the bed 😬 - By 9:30am they were out of beach towels. - Breakfast service was really slow, like 50 minutes for to-go pancakes, French toast and coffee. Redeeming features of this resort is the beach being steps away.

The Emerald Beach Resort is a beautiful prpoerty but it is outdated with non existent management. The staff is unfriendly and it is hard to tell who is running the resort. It feels unsafe as there are outside locals that seem to dominate the bar and beach area and smoke weed late into the morning hours on the beach while making noise or the man that was sleeping in the pool area that was supposed to be secured to only resort guests. The resort would improve with new management that took care of the guests and protected the property.

I like that the property is right on the water. They had enough chairs and umbrellas that were free for the guests. Downfalls, were the service at the restaurant was very slow, “ island time”. You have to pay extra for everything. Bottle water was 3$. The taxi are very expensive and prices charge by the day. I ended up buying my own liquor, gallon water and snacks at the nearby gas station.
