Great place to stay

Not a good place to stay not anymore I used to love to go here, but since they changed from new owners, everything went downhill and there was a lot of complaints from a lot of people on there they will not return back to this hotel ever again

Our trip was an anniversary celebration and decided to go to Emerald Beach Hotel in Corpus Christi. I don’t mean no disrespect but by judging the.condition of the hotel they need a lot of upgrades and renovations. The hotel is aged. It seems that the management are barely making it to survive. I can make a list of issues but who would listen. Bottom line we love the beach view room with balcony and access to the beach. We will continue to stay at Emerald Beach Hotel as we love the location of the Hotel.

Very horrible will never ever stay in that hotel again. It was very hot. No parking whatsoever had to pay elsewhere to park because they have a three party. Parking. Other people were complaining. The restroom were very dirty. The bedsheets were dirty. It looked like the rooms were not even clean. I do not recommend this hotel for no one to stay there. They let any people in the swimming pool don’t matter who it is the swimming pool it’s only for about 100 people and had about 200 people in it.

Our initial room had a gaping hole above shower with dirty boot prints everywhere and drywall on floor. Requested new room…received room that air hardly worked in. Room was warm & muggy. Kept it as we only used it for sleep & showering but it was miserable. Hottub water was dirty & jets didn’t work. Need juice in comp breakfast.

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!

6/10

Property was ok overall, not excellent. Pictures on website were better than property. Staff was friendly. 1st night we had no hot water, 1 of the lamps didnt work...when I tried calling front desk to inform of no hot water, phone didnt work. At pool, the pool stand didnt have any pool towels either day. But I can say the beds were comfy.
2-night trip

6/10

The staff was very accommodating and we loved the view, beach access, and outdoor bar. The hotel itself is in desperate need of updates and renovations. Carpet smelled, the elevators looked a little scary to be in. Even though we had a tub we couldn’t use it because the drain didn’t plug which was super disappointing. Having an indoor pool is a nice feature but the water was cloudy so we decided against it. It met our needs but don’t think we would stay there again
1-night trip

6/10

My first time experience was wonderful and my second time experience was different I had no idea or was told before hand that I was to pay for parking now. Another thing was the hot water in the shower never came on and I waited for literally 10 mins for the hot water to come out. Breakfast was ok when it was the bare minimum. Would’ve like some waffles or pancakes.

It was good vacation, good room n very clean, just one suggestion the outside bartender was kinda rude n lazy , I think she needs to work on her attitude towards the people staying there, been there 4 spring breaks never had a problem
2-night trip

10/10

The hotel staff was amazing. We’ve been here since Saturday And very convenient! Only problem is the Bartender isn’t friendly at all she has very poor communication with guess. I purchased 3 rooms and I’ve paid well over $3000 in parking room stays ect… for us too be talked to poorly… just unexceptionable on all levels.

The good: The room was clean and comfortable. The bad: The back door by the pool was open when I arrived; no towels so I had to call for them; NO WIFI (are you kidding me?); at 4:19AM the alarm went off for about 10 minutes which gave people enough time to fully wake up, get dressed and go outside just as the alarm went off.

The pictures of their rooms they post online are not even close to the real rooms. My wife and I took a vacation to Corpus and saw this hotel by the beach. The rooms looked nice, modern, and clean. To our surprise the rooms looked like an old "1970's motel". The room also smelled like smoke. It wasn't clean, and no toilet paper and soap. We checked out the next morning and stayed somewhere else. I'll never stay there again.

Condition of the property is bad. Our door needed to be slammed in order to close properly. Room was never cleaned and we didn’t get fresh towels or sheets till almost 10pm.
