에스메랄다 리조트(Esmeralda Resort)

Another great trip to Esmeralda. Huge thanks to Audrey and the staff for securing our reservation even though we arrived 4 days later than planned due to airport closure in Buffalo. Nice surprise was the donkeys that roam the island freely due to a local farm owner who passed away and no one available to take care of them. Super friendly, we bought carrots and apples from the local store to feed them. Great resort, great trip. Will be back.

A very quiet and peaceful resort. Went for R and R and P and Q and got it! Room was clean and A/C worked awesome! We would go back! Staff was very friendly, grounds clean and pool very clean. No shade by the pools though so it was too hot to sit by them for long. Need a few palm trees around them. Not ideal for young families. Wish we had a hot plate to make some eggs in the morning and an Nespresso type machine. Our room had hot water for one hot shower per few hours. I’d also recommend the resort make a ‘kitty fund’ to help feed the stray cats and spay them. If there was a donation box, I would have left $$ to help support them as they were adorable and friendly and sadly, very hungry. I fed them every day while there.

We loved the unit, the grounds and the individual pools. The front porch/veranda was awesome. Breakfast was lovely and we were close enough to the beach and the village. What a great stay. Thanks for a real get away. We needed a relaxing trip and the Esmeralda was just the spot

Although slightly up a hill from the beach, the walk is short and this is a nice hotel. I is laid out with quite a few buildings spread out on the property. Each building has 3-4 separate units (which can be combined) and a private pool for each property. Breakfast is provided in the restaurant area which also serves a great dinner. Free chairs and umbrellas are provided at four of the places on the beach (KKO is the closest and it was very nice). You can charge drinks and meals from those places to your room. The staff was very efficient, friendly and helpful.

We all enjoyed our stay very much. We rented a 2 bedroom 2ba suite and another adjoining room with bathroom, great space for our family if 4 to all spread out and have privacy. Nice small kitchen facilities, and small pool outside was relaxing but not for laps, FYI. Great location near many good restaurants in Orient Bay, short walk to beach, convenient restaurants within resort and at beach. Small breakfast buffet was included and satisfying, additional options available for added fee. Service very friendly.

Location is the best feature to Esmeralda! We were able to reach the beach in a few steps as well as close walk to Orient Village. The room was spacious with a large king-sized bed and we overlooked a fantastic pool. The continental breakfast was a perfect to start each morning too! We will return!!!

Wonderful vacation experience at this resort! We have visited this resort over the past 20 years - every year except after the hurricane and during the pandemic. It is charming, the staff very helpful, and located right on Orient Beach. Can't wait to go back next year!

All of the staff at Hôtel Esmeralda were friendly, helpful, and kind. The location is simple to access with a car and an easy 10-minute walk to Orient beach. Our room was clean and well maintained. Having a pool for each group of rooms was convenient for lounging off the beach (it was windy during our stay), and it was a great way to quickly cool off. The hotel grounds and walkways are kept nicely. Know that you may encounter some of the islands four-legged residents during your stay. However, they all seem to be friendly and stayed away from our room. The continental breakfast was very good. The rest of the food at the hotel restaurant was excellent as well. There are also a lot of other good restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and will definitely return.

Beautiful area with great restaurants and water sports. Easy drive to other beaches and towns. Beds were a little too hard and pillows a little thin for our liking. Our own pool shared with just 4 units is nice. Great to be able to walk down the beach and use the many loungers and umbrellas at the various restaurants. Lunches were awesome.
