My husband and I have stayed for at the Emeraude for two weeks both in Feb. 07 and Feb. 08. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! The hotel has obviously been updated since some of the reviews I've read. The changes are stunning and refreshingly simple! On our first visit we stayed in #22 or 23. Beautiful rooms!! On our second visit we requested suite #15! Wonderful!! It feels very private and yet you look out directly on to the beach. It also has its own hot tub!! . . . heaven!! My husband and I are not into "being with the beautiful people just to be seen" so the low key atmoshere and quiet elegance this special resort afforded us suited us to a tee! Although we had a real sense of privacy at the Emeraude, dining, shopping and many beach activities were right at hand. We never felt isolated as I did at the Isle de France resort. Everyone at the Emeraude was very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed, Romea, who made up our room almost daily! She was so funny and endured my husband's teasing and returned it very humorously and graciously! We've already made reservations for Feb. '09. God willing, we'll see Romea and everyone at the Emeraude Plage next year! Pamela Scinto Connecticut PS If you have a massage in your room have the front desk call Yolanda for you. She is absolutely the BEST!! ....and that's also coming from my very critical husband!!

The hotel was booked through a ferry company for overnight accomodation. We required parking for a heavily laden people carrier plus 4 bikes. On arrival the car park was full and there was no possibility of any space whatsoever. Annoying as this is why we chose the hotel. The car had to be parked on the road approximately half a mile away. Luckily it was fine, but leaving it there was a worry and not condusive to a relaxing overnight stop off. The hotel entrance is light and airy, the rooms are older with strange decor, but we found the beds clean. The bathrooms were austere and needed attention. The restaurant looks modern and inviting, however, there was only a table d'hote menu available which had obviously been hastily put together. Basic but acceptable. The rooms and restaurant may have improved since our stay, but beware of the offer of garage parking.

The hotel needs to update their rooms. The decor is 1970's. The carpeting had stains on it. We made sure we wore shoes while walking in the room. The bathroom was old and had poor lighting and ventilation. No remote control for TV........

Les chambres ont bien besoin d’être rénovées. La décoration date des années 70. La moquette est pleine de taches. Il valait mieux porter des chaussures pour marcher dans la chambre. La salle de bain était vieille et était peu lumineuse et mal ventilée. Pas de télécommande pour la télévision…
