We stayed in two one-bedroom units during our week stay there. Came in at the tail-end of "Biker Week", and fortunately, only had to listen to their noise for 2 nights! Our rooms were located on the 23rd floor and then we moved to the 14th floor. Location didn't seem to make any difference in the motorcycle noise coming from... more

We loved Emerald Beach! We went directly to VRBO.com and called the owner. If you want a steal of a deal, go to vrbo.com and look for unit #101064, the best deal we found by far. This particular unit is in a great location within the complex, on the third floor very near the Sky Bar and bridge, and also... more

My sister planned a trip to PCB beginning Wednesday, September 10th, for a four day weekend. She booked through VRBO.com #127800. She mailed her 4 days rental check plus a $300 deposit check to the owner, "Tinker." As luck would have it, Hurricane Ike headed straight toward her residence in Houston. She works for a major medical center in Houston... more

My family just got back from staying at the Emerald. I always read trip advisor before booking and it really has gotten quite a few of unfair reviews. The check in was on the opposite side of the street and we were greeted by a bellman who asked if we were checking in with Emerald resort or Wyndam and where... more

I agree with the other reviews about the nonconnecting elevators, check in across the street, ect. We stayed through a private owner in room 2036. The condo we stayed in was dirty and the furniture was worn down with uncomfortable beds! The guards by the pool were the worst part. No drinks in or around the pool, (alcohol or not)... more

My family stayed here August 10th-17th. Despite the bad weather, the resort was very nice. The room we stayed in is really nice, but we know the owner of this room, and she had decorated and bought dishes and big sreen tv's and all of that her self.. (There is private owned condo's here). The rooms are spacious, and the... more

Our kids were in the hot tub and the pool maintanence people put a white powdery substance into the hot tub. He never closed the hot tub down. There were 8 adults that witnessed him pouring in the white substance along with the 4 kids. The Jets came on and they all felt like their lungs were caving in and... more

As others have stated, parking across the street is somewhat inconvenient, but since that allows all rooms to remain beachfront with a view, I'll take the trade. Check-in was slow and the staff seemed indifferent. There is no signage explaining that there are two check-in lines; one for Wyndham (on the right) and one for Emerald Beach (on the left)... more

Started out lumpy. But, everything changed after a few hours of walking around. At first, I was very concerned because it was so big. But, after finding our way and learning the best routes to where we needed to go, we enjoyed our stay more than anywhere else we've stayed. I agree that there aren't any luggage carts available to... more

I am not writing this review to bring down the reputation of this resort at all. I hope this will help my fellow travelers to think about some important issues before renting a unit at Emerald Beach Resort / Wyndham Vacation Resort. Yes, the eastern half of the resort is made up of Emerald Beach Resort direct rentals and private... more
