The special dinners on resort seem pricey but they were incredible. Breakfast we ate mostly at resort was delicious. Rooms are a little dated but nice. Staff on resort were very helpful. Had a couple power outages they were short it was whole area. Had trash pickup from resort next to us woke us up some night. Few minute walk to beach if you want clothing optional end about 30min walk. Really enjoyed my stay here was very quiet and relaxing.

The property is beautiful and the rooms are spacious (with a front door and a back door leading to a small terrace). The kitchenette in our room consisted of a microwave, sink, coffeemaker and small fridge. The pool was incredibly clean and there was a small area with a hose to rinse off (located near the gate to exit the pool area). It is a short walk from the property to the beach and towels were always available from the front desk staff. The cleaning staff did an excellent job daily and front desk staff were always helpful and friendly. The Astrolabe restaurant had a lovely atmosphere for dinner and the food was quite tasty. The free breakfast in the mornings included: bread with a selection of various spreads available, chocolatines, croissants, juice, tea, coffee, fresh fruit and some cereal options. The staff always provided a menu to order other items for breakfast for an extra fee (e.g. scrambled eggs and bacon). It was overall comfortable and a pleasure to stay at the Esmeralda Resort.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Esmerelda! The spacious villas are private and secure, with a gated entrance and a private walkway to the beach. It’s also just a short walk to Orient Beach Village, so we felt safe letting our young daughters explore on their own. The resort’s restaurant is fantastic—make sure to book in advance for the Friday lobster special. Breakfast is complimentary, with fresh fruit and French breads, offering a taste of the authentic French West Indies. If you're looking for an American-style buffet, this isn’t it, but the offerings are perfect for a relaxed start to the day. Overall, this resort combines comfort, privacy, and convenience for a wonderful St. Martin experience. Highly recommend!

Esmeralda 12/2024 was ok ,time to village was misleading as stated,paying for chairs at Coco beach was disappointing, they are free at other places .Why Can't(esmeralda) make a deal with coco as they have with other places. Breakfast was not included maybe if you wanted toast? We stayed at La Playa Orient Bay in feb 2024 I would choose this resort without hesitation over esmeralda

It’s within the orient beach village so there’s access to restaurants and stores around the village. Very safe, the only draw back is that the beach closest to the resort is renting out chairs for 15€ each, it’s nice and clean but not cheap. You can walk further to other beaches where it’s free if you’re staying at Esmeralda, just a little bit farther walk on the beach.

When you share a common door with the next room, there are noises you are going to hear that you definitely do not want to . Something has to be done about that. Gentlemen in charge of breakfast was super nice.
