Family trip

First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.

Yolanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The A/C was not cooling, It was close to 100 degrees for the past two days. The toilet almost overflowed. Parking was very limited plus I had to pay. I will never stay here again!!!

4/10 Fair

Hot Room

The room was OK except the AC barely worked. August in Corpus is not the time to have the AC not working. We were promised some type of refund but haven't seen it yet.
Randy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Toilet from room 128 was leaking we never got clean towels. We had to go to the front desk to collect them. Nobody ever came to clean the room to throw trash. The pool was very cold. We had an old chair that was ripped in our room. The front desk was very nice and helpful.
Christina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.
Nancy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had a bad experience we got to property at check in time the rooms we not ready. Waited an hour for the room. Emerald beach has a third party PARKING SERVICE on there property and you are charge $15.00 per day to park. Roaches in the room and there elevators were broken we took the stairs to our room. Never again will we stay at Emerald beach.

2/10 Poor

I was not happy with the hotel. I will never stay again. The room was so worn down and had mold everywhere. We have stayed here multiple times with no issues. The customer service reps that worked the front counter were not very nice. Also, the mattress in our room was stained and looked really bad. Also, there was water dripping from the restroom ceiling.
Eliana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The elevator was not working and it’s a 5 to 10 minute wait to go up to my room.
Jesse, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff gave one of my technicians a key to a room that was already booked. So he walked in at midnight to two people sleeping. Then they did not even want to shower in their room because it was so disgusting. I am requesting a refund.
Matthew, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really need to update pictures… if pictures would have been updated i wouldn’t have booked! Towels were dirty, shower, couches sticky and ripped, broken bed, elevator broken on the day of checkout had to take stairs. Nothing like picture showed.
Maria, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel!!!

Worst place we’ve ever stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Very dirty and old peeling furniture. Towels smell like old cooking oil. Listened to fighting all night from the room next door. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Not worth the money. Lack of management. Health Department should pay a visit to them.
Lisa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Ac not working and the property was not clean
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

a few things come to mind. ,parking was terrible , and the dangerous thing was water everywhere incl in elevator from people tracking in from pool and beach ,very unsafe ,i saw 3 people slip and fall. plus it took almost an hour to get our luggage out of the building due to lack of luggage carts and one of the elevators broke down
raymond, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Danette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVE Emerald Beach. Ron’s are clean and comfy, staff are always willing to help. I just wish that y’all would open the outside bar up or do something more lively. Such a beautiful hotel!

Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was not the cleanest. The room itself was pretty good.
Maribel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the absolute worst hotel stay ever! Dirty, moldy, stinky. This hotel was terribly ran down. Our balcony had beer bottles with cigarettes, drapes non-operable, bathroom dirty, toilet seat barely on the toilet. The hallway had the old trash and smell like a dead animal. The outside bar completely run down. I would not give any stars but in order to leave a review you have to select at least one.
