This property needs major renovating and better cleaning services. The smell of mildew and mold on the first floor rooms were disgusting, the toilet seats were not cleaned, went to sit and use and was repulsed by the old poop stuck on the toilet hinges on the seat!! Couldn’t find the hot water to take a shower after 30 minutes looking for the sweet spot on the faucet, ended up showering in cold water, the bed, when under the covers to go to sleep there was a wadded up used paper towel under the blanket with who knows what on it, which tells me the linens were not washed after the last guests, the rooms get soooo wet and musty from the intense condensation from the outside weather, the towels are about 30 years old or maybe even the original ones from 1966.

10/10 Do Not Recommend

Not a good stay at all. Had to pay for parking, and was charged extra $100 for “incidentals” which was not stated in hotel description and have not been reimbursed for yet. The continental breakfast was the poorest quality ever. The photos online are outdated. The hotel looks nothing like the images online. The hotel room was so hot, when told to front desk, they offered to give another room, but others staying said their rooms were so hot too. The deck was dirty and disgusting. The hot tub didn’t work only had hot water, and the pool area had a bad smell. The pool table is ripped and only one worked, none of the indoor games worked. Definitely NOT handicapped accessible. The front revolving door did not work and none of the handicap door openers worked. The indoor restaurant was not operational, nor indoor bar.

We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.

I was really disappointed with my stay at Emerald Beach Hotel. The room was not very clean, and the restroom had visible mold, which made it feel uncomfortable. The advertised breakfast was not what we expected — either very limited or not available at all. The pool was cold and not well maintained, and the front desk rarely answered calls, so I had to go downstairs several times just to get basic help. Parking was also a major issue, with very few spots available. Overall, this hotel did not live up to the expectations set by its advertisements. I hope they take these concerns seriously and make improvements, because the location has potential.
