Emerald Beach has got progressively nicer in the last ten years.I have never seen a rodent in or around my rooms which are always neat and clean...and ocean front. I love the beach bar with Tyler serving and the restaurant for breakfast. I usually dine at The French Quarter Bistro and, for high end Oceana...both a short cab ride from Emerald. I sound like a broken record but that's why I stay there coming and going to Tortola.For me its a great way to start the last leg of my trip home.And the front desk staff and wait staff are all friendly and welcoming..(Unlike Windward Passage).
