We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.

I was really disappointed with my stay at Emerald Beach Hotel. The room was not very clean, and the restroom had visible mold, which made it feel uncomfortable. The advertised breakfast was not what we expected — either very limited or not available at all. The pool was cold and not well maintained, and the front desk rarely answered calls, so I had to go downstairs several times just to get basic help. Parking was also a major issue, with very few spots available. Overall, this hotel did not live up to the expectations set by its advertisements. I hope they take these concerns seriously and make improvements, because the location has potential.

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.

Needs to be updated

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

Second time stay not so great…

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.

When booking online , i thought it was more up to date on remodels . But it was just very basic , no breakfast - just bagels and coffee. Very quite rooms but smaller than other hotels . We thought it was gonna give us an ocean view but it didnt give us the option. It was right in the middle of town , very convenient for our one day stay to sight see.

Never again

The room was filthy and the door made to open into the pool area didn’t want to open. The room wasn’t restocked. There were spiders. Outlets didn’t work. Mold on the baseboards. Horrible water pressure. Hot tub was filthy. It wasn’t worth the money we spent and we won’t stay there again. The glass door to get to the part of rooms we had was shattered with a piece of plastic taped over it, that was falling off.

We usually stay here every time we visit corpus, but this place has gotten even worse than before. It’s so dirty starting from the elevator all the way to the actual room the curtains were dirty. The restrooms were dirty. The tub was so gross. We stayed for a few days and housekeeping never came. Kept trying to call front desk, but they would never answer. I Had to go downstairs to ask for extra towels, toilet paper and they would never deliver. We had to go down to the lobby several times until we finally got what we needed. There are three elevators, but only one works so you can imagine how long we waited just to get down from our room to the lobby. There is limited parking so if you don’t get there on time, you will have to park at the hotel behind them. Which is crazy! This is definitely the last time we’ll be booking at emerald beach hotel

I checked in after paying unexpected parking fees, went to room found bed to be very springy, old moldy odor, tv would not switch to hdmi, and was not comfortable so I checked with front desk, they did not have a better option or solution so I immediately checked out and found a more comfortable hotel. No refund was issued so it was a wasted $500
