This was our 6st time at Esmeralda - it is our beach house of choice. It has a 20 X 30 foot pool right outside our back veranda door. Wake up, have coffee on our private veranda, walk ten feet and swim in the pool, then have more coffee and cheese on our veranda! The beach is a short walk... More

We have been staying at Esmeralda Resort approximately twice a year for the last 10 years. If you were to compare Esmeralda to the big all-inclusive resorts of Cuba, Jamaica or the DR this place would probably rate no more than 3 stars but for us the resort works. Be forewarned that Esmeralda is not a 5 star all inclusive... More

Been to Esmeralda a number of times, most recently in July 2011. We love the location and the beach. Hotel staff does some weird stuff like when I cashed travelers checks. The couple of times no problem. the third time they wanted a service charge. Place is overall clean and being repainted. They seem to work in spurts as far... More

We practically had the place to ourselves. Lou upgraded us to a deluxe room which had recently been redone. Painters were a little sloppy but overall a very nice room. All their adapters were stolen by the workmen but they had one for us on the 3d day. Breakfast was fruit, baugets, and croisants. US$6.00 if you wanted eggs, bacon... More

Our (2 couples) first trip to Caribbean, very worried for some reviews with negative evaluation. We realize critics never been on French Riviera or Continental Europe: we found exactly the same experience as on "Cote d'Azur". Very positive experience: rooms recently renovated with large bed and lot of space. Clean environment, personnel very well managed by an attentive "gouvernante" with... More

This hotel is NOT on the beach. Construction is a problem with the parking going to the workers,also, lots of noise. Our kitchen consisted of a small refrigerator, nothing else. The roof is made of metal...when it rains you will not sleep nor watch tv. The cable tv was wonderful..lots of channels. The maid service was excellent as was the... More

We have always wanted to visit St. Martin and I felt a need to get away for a more or less guaranteed good weather holiday and this didn't disappoint! The weather was fantastic - for the first few days I thought it never rains there for more that 30 seconds! In the end we did have one rainy day out... More

We travel to different locations every year and this year it was St Martin. Esmeralda Resort was just what we expected: clean, fresh, roomy and very hospitable. We were hoping for a more inclusive kind of place but aside form breakfasts, we had to pay for all of our meals. The restaurant onsite was excellent but a bit pricey for... More

If you want a clean, bug free, well maintained room avoid this place! Great location on the beach, hotel rooms a mess! More
