Services & Policies

Daily housekeeping, pet-friendly rooms (with a fee), and meeting/event spaces are available. Parking costs $10 plus tax. No barbecues or poolside parties are permitted. The front desk assists with local activity bookings.

“Emerald Beach Hotel has proximity to Corpus Christi attractions and a direct path to the beach, plus a huge indoor pool, which is a bonus; the hotel is older, and some rooms are more updated than others. Friendly staff and some amazing views are definite highlights. I think the hotel is best for people who prioritize location and service over modern decor.”
