We had an amazing stay at Hotel Esmerelda! The spacious villas are private and secure, with a gated entrance and a private walkway to the beach. It’s also just a short walk to Orient Beach Village, so we felt safe letting our young daughters explore on their own. The resort’s restaurant is fantastic—make sure to book in advance for the Friday lobster special. Breakfast is complimentary, with fresh fruit and French breads, offering a taste of the authentic French West Indies. If you're looking for an American-style buffet, this isn’t it, but the offerings are perfect for a relaxed start to the day. Overall, this resort combines comfort, privacy, and convenience for a wonderful St. Martin experience. Highly recommend!

Esmeralda 12/2024 was ok ,time to village was misleading as stated,paying for chairs at Coco beach was disappointing, they are free at other places .Why Can't(esmeralda) make a deal with coco as they have with other places. Breakfast was not included maybe if you wanted toast? We stayed at La Playa Orient Bay in feb 2024 I would choose this resort without hesitation over esmeralda

It’s within the orient beach village so there’s access to restaurants and stores around the village. Very safe, the only draw back is that the beach closest to the resort is renting out chairs for 15€ each, it’s nice and clean but not cheap. You can walk further to other beaches where it’s free if you’re staying at Esmeralda, just a little bit farther walk on the beach.

When you share a common door with the next room, there are noises you are going to hear that you definitely do not want to . Something has to be done about that. Gentlemen in charge of breakfast was super nice.

The office staff were not friendly; housekeepers were good; breakfast was all carbs and very disappointing. We reserved king bed but got stuck with 2 beds. The air conditioning blew directly on our heads. Probably will not return to this property. Additionally, no free beach chairs as claimed
