We have made Esmeralda our home on the island for our last fourteen trips and frequently walk to the village for our evening meal. It is an easy walk for us (despite some hips and knees no longer in their natural state!) The Presidential Suites are in Villas # 46 and #47; Villa #46 does offer a somewhat ocean view if you look to the left toward Ile Pinel.

As a previous poster noted, Coco Beach provides beach chairs and charging privileges to Esmeralda guests. The walk to the beach from the two mentioned villas is about two minutes.

We will be loafing at Esmeralda from December 13 to December 20; maybe we will enjoy the ambiance together.
