Spent one night here. Waited for our breakfast for one hour (there were two of us) and probably 20 other patrons. The waitress was kind but overwhelmed. My bagel had bacon on it which was not in the menu description. I am vegetarian. She did not check to see how we liked our meal so my friend ate hers but I didn't. I was not charged for the meal. We went to the beach (which is public). There was music blasting from nearby waverunner rentals. The beach was littered with plastic and cigarette butts. We moved further down the beach to avoid the noise and while there a man came by selling pot. He and his friends smoked several joints while we were there. Our room: the bathroom door was hanging like a barn door. They had affixed a latch in an attempt to make the door shut. The room was fine other than the bathroom "door." The view from the balcony was lovely. However I expected more for the price (we had just spent a week on St John in a villa with a similar price point ) I was so happy to leave the next morning.

Roaches in the room. Phone didnt work. The menu for the resort was incorrect and limited. The resort stole over a thousand dollars from us during the check in progress and when confronted about the issue they resisted alot until further action was taken on our part. Some of the male staff at the restaurant hit on us constantly making us feel unsafe to be in the restaurant every time we went to eat. Took the general manager over a week to refund what they took from us. St Thomas is a beautiful place with deep and rich history but please for your own sanity, cleanliness and safety choose a different resort

We stayed at this property 15 years ago. The property, naturally has ages since we last stayed. Upkeep, to a degree, was evident. Little things such as no on/off switches on two of the 3 lamps in the room and several items powered by a single extension cord were concerning.

I was afraid to use this location as I thought it was far from the main attractions. However, staying at Emerald Beach Resort was the perfect location to navigate and go around the island. And it was a beach front property. To be as close to the airport is a real advantage as you can better rest before your departure.

I had no choice about paying an additional "resort Fee"...for what? I had to pay for my drinks at the bar, and my breakfast at the restaurant...(could not charge to room). Otherwise not bad for one night.
