Considering a vacation to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands? If so, you should consider Emerald Beach Resort, located on the beach at Lindbergh Bay. Literally steps away from the airport, the moderately-priced resort is an excellent option for everyone from singles to whole wedding parties looking for a beachfront getaway in the Caribbean. In case my wonderfully-composed opening paragraph wasn’t enough to sway you, I’ve laid out six plus reasons you should take an in-depth look at Emerald Beach Resort.

I’m a sun worshipper, particularly at sunset when I like to enjoy nature’s show with a cocktail in hand, so for me, the importance of the beach’s bearing can’t be overstated. Finding resorts on St. Thomas that offered direct sunset views over a beach is not easy – there might be one other on the whole island. When you find yourself enjoying the setting sun as the warmth from its rays washes over your body, you’ll thank me.
