This is a charming, albeit slightly dated, motel. When booking, I had to get a “resort view” room. I was afraid that meant street side. Nope! The “less desirable” “resort view” we had was one of the beautiful two pools and the beach! We watched the sun rise from our beds every morning.
The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Everyone always greeted us by name and with a smile. They made us feel very comfortable and “at home.”
There is a large charcoal grill big enough for multiple families to use at the same time. There are tables and chairs both under the Tiki Hut and out in the open for guests to use. Having the running sink so close to the grill helped with food contamination prevention.
Both pools were well maintained, had balanced chemistries, and one was heated. I am very wary of public pools since being a lifeguard. I personally test the pool water wherever I go. So far, chemically, that are superior to any other pool I have been to throughout the US.
Complaints/suggestions-provide beach chairs for the guests. Housekeeping only came twice a week, but can be requested more. You need to supply toiletries and coffee yourself or go to the office to brew a cup.
We typically stay down the street at The Weston about 6 times a year. I will never be going back there, after being at Emerald Seas. This is far more family friendly and relaxed. It is not “so fancy you feel uncomfortable” and has a very positive atmosphere.
We absolutely will be back.
