“A horror trip...”

The only thing we can recommend: don't plan your holidays there!!!
We wanted to spend our honeymoon here last december, but we could not go there due to their fault and the hotel's incredibly big 'customer-friendly behaviour'!
We have booked a honeymoon-package in June for december, the reservation was confirmed by the hotel and the deposit was charged by them immediately. In august we read on their website that the hotel 'is temporarly closed, but we will open soon enough', what the hell is 'soon enough' when it's still closed?! ...and you have a reservation, and the hotel do not say a word on their own that they do not have a re-open date?! After writing thousands of emails to them asking for the status of the re-opening and our reservation and with no answer from them, I called them again and again, and they told us by phone that everything is ok!!! One day before our vacation should start we called them again, to inform them about our arrival time to pick us up from the airport, but then (=ONE day before our arrival!!!) they told us we can't come because they are closed! Thank you very much Emerald Palms for not having our honeymoon, loosing money for cancellation our flights, booking new flights back home earlier than planned, extending the stay in the hotel in New York where we got married and wanted to have our honeymoon afterwards - and lastly now 'fight' to get back the payed deposit!! But nobody reacts to our emails and calls!! What a lousy (to say it nice...) hotel...

I and my fiance really enjoyed our stay at Emerald Palms. We got a wonderful room (even better than the one we paid for) and just loved the place and its surroundings. Beautiful. Relaxed. And totally worth the money.

“Definitely plan to return”

I visited South Andros for a spearfishing trip earlier this June with a few friends after hearing of the quality fishing the Island had to offer. After looking around for lodging, a friend of mine who had stayed on the island before reccomended the Emerald Palms. When we arrived we were not dissapointed. The resort taxi was waiting to pick us up and the airport and it just got better from there on. Emerald palms is beautiful! It is only a few minutes from the airport, marina, local dining, the rooms are cool, food is great, and best of all it is located right on the water. Guests of the Emerald Palms can even collect thier own fresh coconuts from trees located onsight for free. The owners and staff are extremely nice and will go out of thier way to make sure youare comfortable and have everything you need. South Andros is also paticularly nice. It is a quiet, sparsley populated island with great locals and an increadible landscape. There are all kinds of activities including spearfishing, bonefishing, deepsea fishing, kayaking, blue hole tours, and the list goes on. I highly reccomend both the island of South Andros, and specifically The Emerald Palms.

Room Tip: Request a villa on the water, increadible view

“BEST PLACE IN THE BAHAMAS”

person found this review helpful

Emerald Palms was the most amazing resort, with great service and a very friendly and helpful staff. It was paradise and offered everything you could possibly ask for. The owners of Emerald Palms are amazing and were so helpful all week. They were very friendly and catered to our every need. If you are going to the Bahamas this is without a doubt the best place to have your vacation.

“Amazing place to relax with the family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

My wife and two kids just got back from a wonderful stay at Emerald Palms in South Andros. The resort was truly spectacular, from great food, friendly staff, and most of all beauty! This trip was a great opportunity to relax and get away from all the loud action and people that places like Nassau and Jamaica have. I will definitely be returning again next summer!
