Hotels in Estate Great Saint James Island

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Emerald Beach Resort! The staff were lovely - friendly and helpful and the food and beverages were good. That said, service was much slower than we're used to - so check your expectations of instant gratification at the door when visiting a place on "island time." Food took up to 1.5 hours to arrive after ordering (having more waitstaff on hand likely would have helped). Have a "Pain Killer"- THE island drink - while you wait. Food more reasonably priced here than other parts of the island. Rooms nice enough and offer wonderful view and you can hear the waves when you sleep. Loved the beach and lots of activities for kids, including a floating, bouncy-house style obstacle course. Only downsides are beach and restaurant/bar can get crowded when cruise ships drop their passengers for a day; also hotel next to airport so planes fly overhead often, including in the middle of the night. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here...was friendly and down to earth."

"Nice size condo. Great beach view. Excellent snorkeling. Food was tasty. Taxi’s always within 5 min. We liked that there were no other commercial businesses in walking distance."

"Stay was great, the staff was very helpful. We did suffer a power outage, but we got a partial refund for it. Plus is that its close to the airport, and emerald beach.... Con is the proximity to everything else... I stayed at the hibiscus villa, and it definitely was worth it... the view alone was amazing! I can only speak on the villa ilI stayed in. "
