Thank you for sharing this feedback. I am sorry the hot tubs were closed and the bedroom TV was not working during your stay. Your comments will be shared with the team so these issues can be addressed.
Everything is excellent, except the check-in process. Front desk staff were rude and need to learn some concierge service manners.

Great condo & amenities: lagoon pool, lazy river & beach access. Would have preferred the king bed up off the floor as my husband has back issues.Thank you for a fun vacation!

Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing our condo for your vacation. We’re glad you enjoyed the amenities, and we appreciate your feedback about the bed height; we’ll keep this in mind as we review future updates.
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was the perfect size for our family and we liked how the master bedroom had the option to open up to the living room to see the view. The one complaint was that the WiFi/Internet would not properly connect during the entire stay. This was major as one of us was supposed to log into work daily. Numerous requests resulted in no resolution. We had to use personal hotspots. Very frustrating.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the building amenities and the unique design of the primary bedroom. Your praise means a lot to us.
Diamond Beach is nice. There are signs of aging. Check in, I had to go back 3 times. We were not told how to access our floor, a map of the hotel grounds would have been nice.Join arrival to our Condo the View was wonderful, but the. Info was not clean for what we were paying for.The TV would not work there was no guide or directions to use it. When we pulled a knife out of the block it was filthy, when my husband pulled out another knife it was filthy as well. The ice maker would not work. The worst thing was when my husband picked up the toilet seat it was covered in urine. For the price we were paying we should have had a better experience and cleaner condo.We will probably not be back. I reported some of this yesterday and they responded an hour later they said maintenance could come in and try to fix a few things. We were on our way to dinner and were checking out this morning. They responded at 4 today….

The view of the beach was excellent. We enjoyed the balcony very much. The unit took almost a full day to cool down but then it was nice the rest of the time. All the extra amenities at Diamond Beach were also a bonus.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property was interesting. Safe for families and good for children. Our unit was very poorly furnished and not with basic kitchen items for cooking. Would not stay at this unit again. Furnishings with holes, very old mattresses. Does not sleep 8 unless you pull out the two old couches. Very large and mice bathrooms. Would consider the property in another unit. Note: many of the amenities they feature in these listings are either booked up by private properties (movie theaters) or closed (spa). A stay here would need some advance planning to really enjoy. The pool areas are nice. Property management was very strict which we didn’t mind.

The condo was perfect for me and my spouse. We stayed over an extended weekend and the place was great. It was centrally located and close to other attractions in the area. It had nice amenities on the property and was walking distance to the beach. Overall really enjoyed ourselves!

This condo has amazing views of the gulf and the pool area.The property was clean and secure and it had beautiful grounds.Its away from the busy part of town, so it was nice and quiet.The condo was absolutely perfect!! The ceiling fans, ive never seen an actual fan as a ceiling fan!! So neat, and a welcomed blessing for those of us that need a fan to sleep.The bed and pullows in the master bedroom were so soft. We will be returning to this condo when we visit Galveston.

We loved the unit and all the amenities at the complex. View is amazing. Unit was very clean and well appointed. Even in the very cold weather, we had family fun in the game room and theater. This was the second stay for us and we will definitely be back.
