We spent 5 nights in a Deluxe room in Feb 2025 and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room! The bed was comfortable and we loved having the balcony to relax on. All of the staff were wonderful and so helpful. Very short walk to the beach and we appreciated that we had access to chairs at 4 beach clubs (KKO was our favourite). Short walk to Orient Village made dinners really easy. Great stay!

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!

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.

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 a quiet place and yet a few steps away from the beach, where there are great options for dining if you go further and explore different restaurants available at different spots.

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.
