Travelers to the east shores with a taste for local flavor should stay here.  The Esmeralda is the sole hotel in an unassuming fishing village where the catch of the day is the news and every Sunday is social day on the mile-long beach. 

Guests can party it up with all-inclusive drinks served all day, while opting for a la carte or buffet meals.  

The property’s bountiful garden surrounds 44 units distributed among five buildings. “Building A” overlooks the pool and has great views of the Caribbean Sea. 

The husband and wife owner-operators are real pros at making every guest feel special.  Free bicycles make exploring nearby Juan Dolio a breeze.
