I am definitely coming back to St. Thomas, but NOT staying here again. Pros: -The beach was steps away, with available chairs and umbrellas. -The coffee hut and the young man that worked there. Very courteous. Cons: -The staff (housekeeping/front desk/bartenders) are not friendly. It was as if we were an inconvenience to them. Major turnoff. The added service fee to the bar/restaurant I'm sure is the contributing factor to the rudeness. -The property is not clean/well maintained. -The room was dated, but in decent condition. However, there were no drawers or place to store clothes, which I thought was odd. -The biggest con of all is that the restaurant closed for two days, with nothing else walking distance, that was frustrating. I understand things come up, however, there was no communication from the hotel. I asked the bartender, and her snarky response was "no food today." It was just rude and unnecessary.

I think the resort needs a lot of work this isn’t a resort it’s a hotel on the beach. Speaking of beach the beach caters to the cruise people over the hotel guest. The restaurant and bar opens when it’s wants to open not when it says it’s opened I was there for a week and the place was never opened for breakfast as advertised. 1 day it didn’t even open at all. And when it it opened it doesn’t even serve the food on the menu. This is not a resort at all this is a hotel on the beach. It has no activities for its guest and like I said prior it caters to cruise people in ver the hotel guest themselves. I will go back to Saint Thomas but I’ll never go back to emerald beach resort. Oh and before I forget they even turned the water off in the hotel without even notice

There was no information from Expedia regarding what room we were staying in. When we left the airport it was like a hellscape. Many of the buildings on St. Thomas are completely abandoned and covered in mold. The ones that are remaining are in terrible condition. The roads are narrow, falling apart and they drive on the opposite side of the road. Combining that with the most aggressive drivers I've ever seen and an abundance of people milling around That looked homeless or desperate I would have to say this was the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced on a vacation. This was my son's graduation trip and I had to buy additional tickets and pay for an additional room near the airport just to be able to leave the following day.
