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

This was our 3rd time at Esmeralda. The previous one was in 2008. After reading 2010-2011 reviews I was ready to see my favourite hotel, outdated and worn......and what a surprise, we came to a completely renovated facility, painted inside out, equipped with new lighting, air-conditioning, kitchenettes, and more..... The breakfast was very french (toast and butter/jam) the rest you... More

Wery nice bungalows with swimming pool.Poorly equipped kitchen, cutting board, bread knife, etc. are missing. Very nice and good cleaning staff, gardeners and more. Difficult however to get errors fixed, broken chairs (3pcs of 6pcs) at the pool was not changed out. Toilet that was leaking was fixed by putting a towel around the leak! 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

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
