    Our over night stay at Emerald Beach Hotel

    Victoria was so sweet, friendly and very welcoming! She got us checked in quickly and shared all the info of the room. We are a little partial to this hotel cause we got married at this hotel a few years ago. so we really enjoy the view the friendly staff and cleanliness at this hotel. The bar in door pool and hot tub. Thanks for another great stay emerald beach!

    2020 Beach trip

    The trip was great, the hotel was wonderful very nice staff, very helpful. Araceli at the front desk was so nice and very knowledgeable. The only reason it was a little upsetting is there was no bar or chairs outside. But we will be back again.

    Great location

    I had not stayed I this hotel for over 20 years. Thought I’d give it a try. The building shows its age on the outside, but the interior is very well kept. Melanie, at the front desk was a sweetie and put me waterfront. Good mattress, great AC made for good sleep. Enjoyed a long walk along the waterline early in the morning.
