When you share a common door with the next room, there are noises you are going to hear that you definitely do not want to . Something has to be done about that. Gentlemen in charge of breakfast was super nice.

Overall a great room for the money, walking distance to the center of Orient bay and all the restaurants. Not far to Marigot if you have a car or take a taxi. Clean rooms and the staff was very good

8/10 Very Good

The office staff were not friendly; housekeepers were good; breakfast was all carbs and very disappointing. We reserved king bed but got stuck with 2 beds. The air conditioning blew directly on our heads. Probably will not return to this property. Additionally, no free beach chairs as claimed

It’s a quiet place and yet a few steps away from the beach, where there are great options for dining if you go further and explore different restaurants available at different spots.

Not quite what i expected but the villas were beautiful and clean. I was a bit disappointed with some of the hotel descriptions, coffee in room is 3 little instant coffee pouches and dried up coffemate that wouldn't desolve. We also had messaged ahead for a villa not too far as my husband has mobility issues, but ended up furthest away even though resort was very quiet and seemed half empty. Hotel also says beach chairs, however the beach club that is walkable to is not included. So we drove to Bikini beach club, (disaster) but Esmeralda Hotel guests arent allowed in the first row of beach chairs even if there is over 30 empty. Breakfast included is bread, pastries and fruit. Its not really beach front, its quite a walk to get ro any beach club or restaurant except for the one on the property. Not sure i would recommend this hotel, as we also stayed in Philipsburg and Grande Case which were definitely 5 star experiences.
