Playa Esmeralda Hotel Reviews
Overall impression was good and when we arrived late that evening we could still eat at the restaurant. Because my bf could speak some Spanish, they were very helpful with everything.
Even the fact that we are gay didn't seem to bother them (we have seen it otherwise in resorts, and or hotels).
Okay the rooms are a bit outdated, but we had our warm water and everything worked. After 6 days of eating there, we were quite fed up with the pasta routine.
So a longer stay at this resort is not recommended, and because there is no restaurant in the neighbourhood or anything else for that matter, it becomes quite boring.
If you go there to relax and just have some beautiful sunbathing on the beach, then this is a nice budget resort.
The private beach was wonderful and clean also protected by security officers with shotguns. That was a bit spooky, but apparently necessary, because of the violent nature of this island.
There were at our stay more personnel then guests, what made it nice and quiet. For the both of us we paid $600 for 6 days of stay, what really made it a bargain.
So if you’re a sun lover and don’t want to do anything else then sunbathing this is a resort for you. People, who need more, better find something else…
Certainly worth 3 stars this resort, but 4 starts is too much to ask for.
