This includes your front desk manager as even she did not know which rooms are available and which is not. the excuse was. We dont know which rooms are cancelled and which are not. That tells me they dont have access or they dont care or they dont want to do the effort. So I was told the hotel is fully booked. Then when I showed them on line it is not and that I can book a room, then all of a sudden there was a room available ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALEXIA Jan 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Loved it What a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend. Staff at the Hotel were amazingly friendly and professional. From Reception to room service to breakfast staff just outstanding!! The Auqua Dome was VERY disappointing. The staff open when they want to. Literally an hour after the board signs says and online times. The only slide is not always open as the life guard wants to chat to his friends so closes and opens at random. If you ask him to use the slide he will tell you in 20 minutes. ##### ALEXIA Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thrishen Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Loads of potential I would say the hotel is satisfactory and in definite need of an upgrade. The bedding and bed were awesome but the walls, decor, furniture all need updating. The aircon is loud and noisy and the hotel should perhaps in solar etc. as the aircon does not work when there is load shedding. A lot of the TV channels did not have sound, and the shower door did not close. I think for the price you pay, you can expect more. Thanks ##### Thrishen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Raeesa Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Emerald Resort Units need a few more basic items The accommodation should atleast cater for a place to hang wet washing since the Aquadome is one of the main features Also just basic items in the unit, there is no broom or mop so after housekeeping cleans if the place gets dirty, you dont have anything to clean up with. Water from shower comes out right till the kitchen floor and nothing available to mop it ##### Raeesa Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeffrey May 21, 2025 ##### jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reginald May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Reginald Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abdul Apr 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Abdul Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reginald Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Reginald Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Topi Apr 5, 2025 ##### Topi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean Apr 1, 2025 ##### Dean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kandahar Lodge at Whitefish Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitefish-Hotels-Kandahar-Lodge-At-Whitefish-Mountain-Resort.h868703.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Mile Beach Resort & Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Seven-Mile-Beach-Hotels-Seven-Mile-Beach-Resort-Club.h801652.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Moose Jaw](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Moose-Jaw.h9484881.Hotel-Information) > > [Saint Martin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anse-Marcel-Hotels-Secrets-St-Martin-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h36941941.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Toronto Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-InterContinental-Toronto-Centre.h4978.Hotel-Information) > > [Château des Tourelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Auberge-Chateau-Des-Tourelles.h3976827.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites Montréal by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Montreal-By-Hilton.h1717483.Hotel-Information) > > [Sigma Inn & Suites Melville](https://www.expedia.ca/Melville-Hotels-Sigma-Inn-Suites-Melville.h11886839.Hotel-Information) > > [SandmanHotels Hotels in Coquitlam](https://www.expedia.ca/Coquitlam-Hotels-Sandman-Hotels.0-0-d10583--bSandmanHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/puj/vancouver-to-punta-cana) > > [Flights from Houston (IAH) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iah/yyz/houston-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Munich (MUC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/muc/yyz/munich-to-toronto) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/cdg/london-to-paris) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Tel Aviv (TLV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/tlv/winnipeg-to-tel-aviv) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Grote Berg (CUR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/cur/ottawa-to-willemstad) > > [Flights from Vancouver Intl. to MOW-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mow/vancouver-to-moscow) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Marmagao (GOI) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/goi/bom/goa-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sjo/ottawa-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bob/toronto-to-bora-bora) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Happy Valley - Goose Bay (YYR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyr/yyc/goose-bay-to-calgary) ### Packages > [Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/88/Jamaica) > > [Playa Del Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601751/Playa-Del-Carmen) ### General > [Visit Greenfield Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Greenfield-Park.dx60106) > > [Visit Wrexham](https://www.expedia.ca/Wrexham.dx5625) > > [Visit Bar Harbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bar-Harbor.dx561) > > [Visit Murray Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Murray-Hill.dx6141728) > > [Visit Doncaster](https://www.expedia.ca/Doncaster.dx6822)
