We had a great time. The Bedrooms are a little small. But there is plenty of room to spread out in the living area which was spacious. The large balcony was nice to have.

We love Diamond Beach!

The condo was even nicer than the on-line photos, and it was the perfect amount of space for a family of 7. We loved the proximity to the elevators, and kids play room. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. The management group was great at reaching out to us to ensure there weren’t any problems and that everything was your satisfaction. We shall look forward to staying here again during future visits.

Fantastic luxury condo

Clean, open, bright, spacious and well designed. This is a fantastic condo that is worth every penny. You are steps from the elevator to take you to the pool, lazy river, and hot tub. And only a block or so walk to the beach itself. The patio opens up to open with great views. We'll likely stay here again if we go with friends or family.

We have stayed at five other rooms at this resorts. We love it and come back every year. This unit had problems. This was the most expensive unit we have ever rented at this resort. Bathrooms only had one roll of toilet paper. Kitchen only had one extra trash bag. I received an email about washing dishes and starting the dishwasher. We always do this, but I felt it was so petty considering the cost and that we were paying for cleaning. The balcony, which is the big part of the stay had torn and faded cushions. The fake plants were in very bad condition. The top bunk in the bedroom did not have sheets on it. The sheets were in a plastic bag that said their insurance did not allow them to put them on. We always stay in a unit with bunkbeds I have never seen this. Overall, we will stay at this resort again just not in this room.

We're sorry to hear that this particular stay did not meet your expectations and that you did not appreciate our checkout reminders. They are simply intended to help make for an easy checkout and are sent to all guests. We do provide guests with information regarding the starter supplies provided with each stay, and our policy regarding unmade bunk beds is based on our company's insurance requirements, which may not be the same as the other rental companies. We're sorry these policies were frustrating during your stay, but we do appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of balcony furnishings and decor and will share those concerns with the appropriate team. We hope your next Galveston getaway is a great one!

Really beautiful getaway

This place is prettier even than the pix, and we very much hope to be back. Easy egress for a powerwalk on the sea wall, or the other direction to the beach adjacent to the property - no crossing busy streets as is the case in so many Galveston accommodations. The resort looks perfect for families, maybe we will bring ours next time! But this was wonderful for 3 ladies on a girls' getaway. 5min drive to lots of restaurants and even less than that to Moody Gardens.

This condo and property are amazing!!! We've stayed at this property before but this condo has been the best experience - it's clearly loved by the owners as it's well furnished and maintained! It's exactly like the pictures! The layout and space was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kiddos - 16, 13, and 6 years old). Do I wish it was on a slightly higher floor for a better view of the ocean from the huge balcony, yes, but with how comfortable we felt, we would love to stay again! It's the little extras that made it feel like home and are unique to this condo that we appreciated like:*General cleaning supplies for little messes*Beach supplies available for use - chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, floaties, and more*Plenty of extra towels and linens*Chill time activities - puzzles, books, and games There was 1 small maintenance issue that could be addressed - some of the locks for the bedroom and bathroom doors were missing the little button you press to engage the lock. Wasn't really an issue for us but something to mention.This property is the best one we've stayed at in our many trips to Galveston! My family loves the pools, lazy river, and beach access! Other amenities include the swim up bar, movie theater room, kid's play room, gym, and complimentary morning coffee bar. Front desk staff is always so nice and helpful! The water slide sadly has been removed but I hope they decide to rebuild it! This location is also super close to town and off resort activities!

Was not impressed

The property is getting older, it really needs to be updated. We have stayed a total of 4 times each year. The bar couldn't take credit cards, we Had to listen to pressure washers all day long! It was the 4th of July weekend. The slide was broken the whole weekend! Needless to say my 4 grandbabies heart was broken. There was a roach on the floor in one of our units when we first got there. The units were not ready by check-in. Nothing special at the bar for the weekend..... Sadly, I think it is the last time to stay at Diamond Beach Resort. I have wrote reviews every time i have been asked with no one getting back with me....

Hi Mary, We are sorry to hear that the complex was doing maintenance during your stay. Each condo is individually owned and managed so, while each owner may share your review with the complex HOA to help them plan better, there would be no way for each unit's owner to know of your previous experiences. We have shared your feedback with the facilities team there and truly hope that they take it into account when they make future plans. Thank you for your feedback!

We Love Diamond Beach!

We love Diamond Beach- our family has been six times in the last 2 years. This was the first stay in this unit. The unit is beautifully furnished. It was spacious for 8 guest. We loved having the half bath as we do not normally have that option- normally we have a 3bed/2 bath unit. We had good views of the lazy river and the balcony is big. We reserved the theater room 2 nights and used the gym each day! We love that you can walk down to the beach in a matter of minutes- it is so easy to spend time at the beach and pool. We cooked some days and ordered WaitrApp when I didn't feel like cooking. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with different pans and plenty of dishes and silverware. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back soon!
