I had an amazing time at the hotel! It's set in a gorgeous location, just a quick walk to the beach. The rooms were lovely and provided a comfortable space to unwind. The staff were incredibly kind, making my stay feel special. The only downside was that I noticed some feral cats around the premises, which might tug at the heartstrings of animal lovers like me. Overall, it’s a fantastic getaway that I would recommend!

I had a wonderful time at the hotel, enjoying clean and spacious rooms that provided a lovely ocean view. The service was attentive and eager to please, making our stay even more enjoyable. Gaining access to nearby restaurants was great, but unfortunately, we did encounter some seaweed at the beach. While the pool area was a wonderful addition, the high prices at the on-site restaurant were a bit off-putting, though local dining options provided better value.

We had an amazing stay at The Esmeralda Resort! The rooms were spacious and clean, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver. The on-site restaurant offered a delightful breakfast each morning. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. However, the check-in process could use some improvement as there was some confusion with our reservation times. Overall, it was fantastic value for the price.

We had a pleasant stay at this resort after our cruise, appreciating the friendly staff and spacious, clean accommodations. While the beach area in front of the resort is still recovering from hurricane damage, we enjoyed our time at Bikini Beach nearby. The breakfast could definitely use more variety, and some aspects of the facilities, like the water pressure, need improvement. Overall, the value is decent, but I would expect better amenities given the price we paid.

I spent two weeks at this resort, and overall it was a fabulous experience. The room was immaculate and spacious, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. However, the breakfast was quite disappointing with limited options. The location is beautiful, but accessing the beach can be a bit tricky due to ongoing construction. Overall, I had a great time and would consider returning.
