We are a family with 2 children (4y.o.). the new Emerald suite was perfect for us: apartments are clean modern and well equipped, amazing view from our balcony, quiet, etc... Costas - the owner manager? THE BEST! the friendlier host we ever met! I hope, one day, I'll be back there... more

Nice compact studios (Smaragdi) but lack of essentials such as toaster/hairdryer. The views are out of this world, but that hill. I teach exercise and it nearly finished me off. Golden Beach was like a ghost town at night and this area didn't have the usual 'Greek feel'. No tavernas, just a scattering of empty places. Most Brits went to... more

Couldnt ask for a better host-COSTAS couldnt do enough to help us feel at home. Beautiful views from our balcony. Apartment was very basic but clean for the price we paid, we have no complaints. The pool was friendly and inviting, always people there even though it was early season. THE DRINKS ARE ALWAYS FLOWING AT THE EMERALD, CANT WAIT... more

This hotel is perfect for me. I stayed here 4 years ago for the first time and we couldn't have asked for a nicer, prettier, friendlier place to stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeted personally by Costas, the owner, shown to our clean rooms and as far as the owners are concerned, nothing is too much trouble.... more

Having been to Emerald Studios at Golden Beach in 2003 for a quiet getaway we knew where we wanted to return this summer. We would have gone the year before too, but got married and had our honeymoon in Italy. We looked forward to returning and were pleased to see that not much had changed and everything was as we... more

We have stayed at the Emerald on three occasions now, we cannot recommend it enough. Costas and his family could not be more hospitable. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated with maids changing linen twice a week. We have had the most amazing view from our balcony on each of our visits. There is a lovely pool and pool... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Emerald Apartments in June 2007. The apartments were an ideal size for just the two of us, we found them clean, and the views were amazing. We were there during the heat wave, so the hill up to the apartments was the only problem during the day, but the hiring of 2 mopeds... more

It is not a hotel - i cannot really describe what actually it is. The key word here is inhospitability and I will tell you way. I made my on-line reservation 3 months prior to my planned trip and send deposit by Money Gram to the owner. When I got there the "hospitable owner" Costas told me, "Sorry my man,... more

I can't quite understand the other rave reviews. This is very average basic Greek accommodation. The studios are small, kitchenette is very basically equipped and cleaning could be better. We couldn't complain for the price, but maybe that's the problem - if Thomson's paid the owner a bit more, the standard could perhaps be improved. The location is great, as... more
