Over priced for for what you get. High room cleaning fees and you have to take out your own trash in the trash cans. Bad traffic during a holiday. You can stay elsewhere for a better price. Not to mention after you book there's a high resort fee and you have to purchase arm bands to be on the property after you already paid for the room.

Hard no!!!

2 rooms had the same code next door to each other so I entered in the wrong room by accident and thought my child had been abducted. Night shift desk clerks couldn’t cared less and put it on “another company” handles that. Locked out of our private entrance from the beach at 10pm and had to beg to let another hotel let us cut through their entrance. I am handicapped and couldn’t walk the 1.5 to the public exit off the beach. Construction started at 7am and shook your entire unit. So good luck sleeping in on vacation. Only up side was nice beaches and close to food and grocery needs. I’ll find a VRBO before I stay at another “resort”! Nice people to meet stayed there as well so we met a lot of new friends! Will not stay again though!

The room was dirty, the elevators were incredibly slow, when they actually worked. Everything on the property was over the top expensive. The front desk was short and seemed annoyed every time you asked them anything. The pools were dirty. The info was the most disappointing though. The dryer didn’t dry the clothes, the base boards, walls, floor, and sink sprayer and ice and water attached to the fridge were along with the shower heads were disgusting. There were dead mosquitoes stuck to the walls and the cushions on the wooden chairs were a mess. The parking garage was dark. This was our second time staying here and this stay was disappointing.

Rude and unhelpful staff. Awful hidden fees.

Emerald was awful at communicating. Kept adding fee aftef fee after fee. I was originally told the fee at the hotel would be $250 yet when we got there it was almost $600. They Re refused to let us park a 3rd car for our 3 bedroom condo that can sleep 10. The staff at the front desk was unhelpful to say the least. I will never be staying here again. Our room was also damaged in several places and the staff did not care. They were so strict about everything, even the most ridiculous things. If they really dont want people to stay there, they shouldnt offer it.

Our room was full of dust & not cleaned properly. Also the ac was out for 2 of the first day's but they did get it fixed. The front door lock was broken so it would have been easy for my kids to open the door so they ended up sleeping with me. The washer & dryers were extremely load. & all beds were so bad we had hard time sleeping at night because they had slopes in them & very hard & also of the plugs for the connections were not good so we had to plug our phone in different areas of the condo. & alot of the dresser cabins were broken. Worst had to be the elevator situation because you would have to wait at least 40 mins to get on the elevator. Also in the parking garage they hit my car & i reported it & never heard back from the resort. Never going back their again

vary spacious (that i liked) the property was not cleaned well ( we found "stuff" from previous client, one sock in dryer, a toy necklace on one of bump beads) the refrigerator ice maker did not work, washer and dryer did not work (contacted them and they say it would be next day before they can come and fix it) we were leaving the place "next day" so that dint help. the entrance key lock did not work so our door was unlock for 4 hrs before we knew it was not working.... contacted them and they did come and fix it within 30 min... the worst part was the elevator waiting time 10-15 min before you can get one and once we did you had to go like sardines "packed" full of people without face mask... terrible. (had to take stairs), the smell of "recreational" smoking was everywhere, elevator, walkways, even in our balcony you could smell it (we have children) we were on floor 11... i provably will not stay there ever.

Stay started off decent til second day we noticed black mold in master bathroom. Call and told them, and they sent someone to clean while we was at beach. Came back to black mold still there. Called and they sent a cleaner supervisor up. She cleaned and still left alot of black mold. We ended up having to buy stuff and clean it ourselves. They didnt discount us any of the money we paid for precleaning or anything.

Less than 24 hours before we arrived, I got a called saying i owed double for what I paid in the beginning. There was no email or anything on the site saying I was only paying partial when I booked. I wouldn’t have mind if I was informed weeks before that I owed. Waited on the elevator for 45 minutes when first arrived. After getting to the room, the code didn’t work, I had to wait 30 minutes to get someone on the phone for the code. Didn’t have any wash clothes in the room nor WiFi when stated it was WiFi because I still need internet access for work
