We really love the condo. It’s quiet and has lovely amenities. If we could change anything we would like more comfortable furniture on the patio. Otherwise it’s perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

Start to summer!

The property and condo were beautiful!! The homemade biscuits and gravy I made our first morning there tasted amazing on the balcony!! The only thing I seen that could use some work is the path to the beach from the property. We chalked it up to the construction that was going on beside the building as to why it hadn’t been cleaned up a little but other than that it was worth the stay!

Perfect Getaway

It’s become a yearly tradition to visit Diamond Beach Resort, as always my favorite spot to hang out is the lazy river. The condo was super nice & super clean & exactly how it was described!

The Queen of Diamond Beach Resort

The Queen offers the best view at Diamond Beach Resort for watching 4th of July fireworks. We saw the fireworks in the distance from our windows and balcony for Seawall and Moody Gardens.We love the amenities of Diamond Beach resort- lazy river, indoor pool, gorgeous outdoor pool, arcade, and easy beach access.We had small issues that we communicated with Ryson at the end of our stay (we didn’t want to mess with maintenance during our stay). And they responded that they would see to them: the towel bar was not secured and would fall off with the slightest touch of pulling a towel; the hall bath was too hot on the coolest setting, and I had to use cold water from the sink in a cup to help my daughter, and one of the blinds in the master would stick. Very minor stuff since we’ve stayed in another unit that did not have hot water in the shower. The view, the layout, the windows, and the decorations in the Queen was our favorite so far out of the the four units we’ve stayed at.

Beautiful views

The views from Diamond top floor condos are breathtaking which is why we returned. Unfortunately this unit had very comfortable beds, the kitchen chairs were a bit broken (we worked from the unit so sat in them quite a bit), the pull out bed was very old & could never seem to get the hot water to work. This unit needs some updating compared to the other units we have stayed in. I would return but not in this unit at this price.

excellent condo with great view

This condo was fabulous, everything was clean, it had all we needed. The view is excellent and the pelicans flying by the balcony daily was awesome. We were bummed that the outdoor pool and lazy river were not heated, I just assumed they were. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and look forward to going back one day.

Queen of Diamonds

The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s an amazingly beautiful property and we were amazed at all the amenities that it offered. The pool was by far my favorite place to spend time. My teenage sons loved hanging in the game room and working out in the gym. I spent an amazing 2 hours in the spa and our condo was everything it said it would be. We will definitely be returning to Diamond Beach

Lie by omission

Due to the hurricane a month ago, the pool was closed, had been closed for weeks, but was advertised as a feature of the property. I was never told the pool was closed until I checked in the front desk said they told VRBO that the pool was closed to please tell the renters but no one told me. I would not have rented had I known the pool was closed. As a matter of fact, it was the reason I rented here beware!

Problems and Deception

We had the power go off but there was no reason other than an unpaid power bill. It was turned back on hours later. Also the listing shows a queen bed in the second room. Don’t be fooled, there are 2 twin beds. I would not rent this again and would not recommend it to others.
