Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
the facility was full of mold. The first room I checked into had no hvac and the mini fridge had leaked all over the floor. The second room there was sand in my bed upon check in, the shampoo conditioner soap was empty upon check in, the chair was not in good condition, dirty bandaids on the floor. The entire hotel was in very run down, dirty condition.

It would be hard to make this hotel any nastier.

Don't even know where to start. Mold everywhere. Dirty sheets, dirty towels. Bugs. TV didn't work. AC didn't work. No hot water. This place is an absolute dump. Avoid at all costs.

Nope!

Absolutely awful. Paid for balcony rooms, wouldn’t open, moved to a second room and it was even worse. We left, told we would be refunded. Immediately communicated with hotels.com though chat, as only option, and they told me it could be cancelled and that it was. Of course, it wasn’t. I expected that, I get refund policies. Don’t stay here unless you are confirmed a renovated room and, even then, I wouldn’t hold my breath. It’s a shame, great view.

Avoid Emaral Beach Hotel – Misleading, Unsafe, and Poorly Managed This hotel is a complete disappointment. Most advertised amenities are either broken or don’t exist. There’s no functioning WiFi, no restaurant, only one bar (not two), and public parking that costs $15/day with no guaranteed spots. The indoor pool is freezing cold (~65°F), with no working pump. Maintenance manually dumps chemicals, making the water unsafe—my skin and eyes burned. Rusty rails pose a serious safety risk. The arcade, volleyball area, and pool table are all non-functional. There’s no housekeeping unless you ask, no concierge, no bellhop, no beach towels, and the beach is dirty with no staff cleanup. Despite being listed as secure, anyone can enter from the beach due to a broken door lock. The staff try their best, but management is to blame for the poor conditions and false advertising. Photos are AI-enhanced and don’t reflect reality. Expedia: Please remove this property. It’s misleading and unsafe. Guests deserve better. There’s a Holiday Inn next door that’s already a better option. Future travelers: RUN and book elsewhere.

The property was quiet but got their and my TV and room phone was not working. Took 2 days for them to fix it. And only TV was fixed. Management is very off-putting. doesn't let you speak and argues with customers. Love convenience of right off the beach. Parking is also not included which they did not tell us.
