Fodor's Expert Review Emerald Beach Resort

You get beachfront ambience at this reasonably priced mini-resort tucked beneath the palm trees, but the trade-off is that it's directly across from a noisy airport runway. You'll definitely want to spend time on the white-sand beach, which can be seen from nearly every room in the four three-story, lime-color buildings. Stay here if you need the beach on a budget or if you have an early-morning flight. The Emerald Cafe opens at 6 am with hot coffee, smoothies, and grab-and-go fare.
