Facilities and Services
Dining
Some would say The Emerald Palms Club House Restaurant gets the job done single-handedly. Three meals a day are served with an ocean view in this delightful restaurant. Finish off a sunrise stroll and stop in for a light breakfast. Get recharged from the "daily grind" of island adventure and pure relaxation. Enjoy a romantic candle-lit dinner on the deck as the ocean waves serenade the sun to sleep. It's all just steps away from your room.
The Club House bar, with its cobalt blue tile, and rich mahogany wood, is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail before dinner, or retire for a night cap.
Meetings & Events
They offer a fully featured, 25-person conference room and professional meeting planning services. They’ll partner with you every step of the way, as you plan the itinerary, make your travel arrangements and stage your meetings and entertainment.
Weddings and celebrations at Emerald Palms aren’t “packaged”. They’re handcrafted with a great deal of love and care. They happily accommodate groups of up to 100 persons.
Swimming Pool
The Emerald Palms pool is situated along the picturesque, palm lined beach. Bask in the sun while enjoying traditional Bahamian music and cool tropical drinks from the bar. You’ll share the pool with just enough fellow guests to keep the conversation lively.
