The villa itself had everything we needed. It was so nice to have 2 master suites with great beds, separate AC, and independent access to the pool. Having your own private pool and hot tub is a huge plus, and we enjoyed the grill, washer/dryer and the other amenities of home. We had one problem with the refrigerator and they fixed it within a few hours on a weekend night! One thing that surprised us was that the tap water & ice was totally good to drink, unlike other places in Mexico.
Loved the Emerald Bay property. It was great to have the seclusion of the villa yet a short 2-minute walk to the beach, big pool, or spa. The workout facility was top notch. Also really enjoyed the resort-style pool and swim-up bar, but we came for the beach and it did not disappoint. The sunsets were spectacular!
We also enjoyed the ease with which we could get to town. The shuttle service offered by the resort made it so easy to visit restaurants in town. The boardwalk is a happening place!
