Esmeralda was a great experience. The location is perfect...right on the beach. The room was beautiful, bright and very clean. The staff was extremely helpful. The beach is very quiet and away from all the "cruise" crowds. We had had a bad experience at a nearby hotel and the staff at Esmeralda could not have been more accommodating. This will... More

We had the greatest time in St Martin just last week. Esmeralda proved to be a fantastic place to enjoy the true beauty of Orient Beach. The rooms were imple but clean and on the quieter end of the beach. Coco Beach resteraunt and bar was an added plus. Sophie- the owner and David the bartender make you feel welcomed... More

What a great experience. My wife and I just spent a week there, and enjoyed every minute. We were upgraded to an ocean view room (#466) which was fantastic and offered the most privacy of all the rooms. The staff was very pleasant, especially the woman who manages the restaurant during breakfast. The continental breakfast included with the room was... More

Unengaged staff in the breakfast... More

Esmeralda Resort was a perfect location on a busy beach in paradise. The rooms are very spacious and the renos are great. The taps and showers and sinks are new European. The soaps/shampoos are nice quality as are the towels and linen. The housekeeping kept the property spotlessly clean. The kitchen is totally useless if you plan on cooking. The... More
