Emerald Beach Resort (Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands)

Guests love that it's possible to walk from the airport to the hotel as it saves a lot of money and hassle finding transport after a long flight, and the beach being right outside means guests barely have to leave the property to have a great time on an ocean adventure - or a great time relaxing in the sun.

With every room having a balcony that faces the ocean, guests get to wake up every morning with stunning views and really feel like they're on a true getaway. Many say that the views are unlike anything they've ever seen and make for a wonderful, memorable experience.

Both the dedicated hotel staff and the staff working in the restaurant are praised by guests as friendly and welcoming - even going as far as remembering guests' names. They are always on top of any problems and are always ready with a smile.

Unfortunately, those with a lot of luggage find the lack of elevator in the hotel a bit of a problem, especially coming off a long flight or day of traveling. However, staff are happy to help guests with their bags, so if assistance is required just notify the front desk upon arrival.

Due to the hotel's location, some guests find that the Wi-Fi can be a bit hard to get a hold of in the rooms, so anyone looking to catch up on work during their stay might want to make sure their cellular data is topped up.

Some feel that the hotel is looking a bit tired, both in the rooms and on the exterior of the buildings, and if it were spruced up a bit the overall feeling of the place would improve drastically.
