Proximity to Airport is Perfection

Proximity perfection to airport and beautiful private beach cove is a great place to start or end a trip. The smaller resort included a pool, bar, and restaurant. The food is a little pricey but good! We ate out locally for most dinners. A fridge is included in room but No microwave in rooms but if you need ask the front desk. They are very accommodating and helpful. Tip: ask to stay in the renovated buildings. No elevators so plan accordingly or get bell service for bags. Will definitely stay again on any future visits to St Thomas.

Comfortable little resort

We stayed hered because our flight was cancelled,. We are not resort people and prefer BnBs. But Emerald Beach was a great place to get stuck. They were flexible about using the facility even though we could not check into our room. It is on a nice cove and has a fairly long beach. The pool was a good size and kept clean.It was relaxing to sit around .The room was comfortable and clean. Each room has a little balcony. We could not get the TV to work perhaps because the batteries on the remote were dead. We didn't care enough to request any help with the TV.The restaurant was a casual bistro. We had tacos and drinks which were very good.

The property could use some updates. No hot water for showers, It was warm at best. Only one restaurant on property. Coffee bar was closed every day they say due to new immigration worries of employees. No Spa on site. Passengers from cruise ship come to property for use of beach since there is no charge and take up a lot of the chairs and nothing is done about it, so the guest of the hotel have limited selection of chairs/where to sit on the beach. Just a heads up for anyone who plans on visiting St. Thomas most of the stores are closed on Sunday and close at 5 PM during the week. Everything is expensive at the hotel and in town. Also, this hotel isn’t that close to any of the activities.

The property itself is nice but there are no elevators so expect to pay or carry your luggage a few flights. Bar tenders look overwhelmed and not friendly. It took over 30 minutes to get acknowledged at the bar to then be told I’d be lucky enough if I got my food in less than 2 hours. Definitely an overpriced resort.

Check in was great. Amazing accommodations. Room clean and comfortable. Jules the chef and Shawn the bartender are the best. I recommend a few painkillers from Shawn. Glad I chose to stay here for my last day before flying out. You have everything you need right here.

Location was close to the airport but hearing the planes was not an issue since they don't fly during the night. Great beach and pool. Beautiful scenery. Has restaurant and bar so you wouldn't have to go into town unless you wanted too. Not much within walking distance of the hotel so you would need to take a taxi to any off-sight activities. You will need cash for the taxi. Staff very friendly and helpful. Grounds were clean.
