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!

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!

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.

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

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.

My only complaint is the beach because the listing appears like it’s beach front but it’s all rocks and you can’t swim there.

Queen of Diamonds - Diamond Beach

Queen of Diamonds - Diamond Beach

The property was beautiful with spectacular views! The check-in was a wild goose chase. We stopped at the rental office on Stewart to be told to go to the property address which had been emailed to us. We got to the emailed address which was a house at Jamaica Beach and occupied by a family. We were completely confused as to why this address was given to us. So, we drove back to the property and finally figured out what to do. The men on property who assisted us were professional and super helpful!! We were pleased with the property and had a relaxing stay. The only negatives were the crumbs on the floor under the dining room table, someone’s toenail clippings on the living room floor, and the long brown hairs on the floor throughout that were not mine. Made me think that the floors either weren’t vacuumed or swept well. The bathroom mats also looked dirty. For the price, detail to cleanliness was a disappointment. However, I would rate this a 4/5 for sure and hope that we are able to stay there again.

Beautiful place. Everything you need at one place. One of the best sun rise views around. Enjoyed the evenings on the porch especially since the sun goes down on the other side, no blazing sun in your eyes. Far enough away from the tourism but close enough to be in the middle of it in no time. A few things that could have been better. The sliding glass door to the porch was so hard to open that my wife could not open on her own. The bed was very hard. No view of the pool. The toilet valve never shut off causing the seat to be like a sauna. Beach access is minimal due to the sea wall. Other than that we had a great time at a great location on the west side of the island. Thank you for such a beautiful place with an awesome pool. We will be back!! Other

The condo was beautiful and spacious. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but once you get there it’s quiet. We had a microwave break and they had a replacement there very quickly. The pool and lazy river were so much fun!

Beautiful and well maintained unit!

Beautiful and well maintained unit!

I reserved units 701 and 702 for our family of 14. This unit was beautifully decorated, spacious, and well maintained. Pride of ownership is evident in this unit, especially evidenced by a note from the owner offering a cell phone number if the resort or unit falls short in any way. The parking spaces and keys/fobs were adequate for the unit’s guest capacity. By comparison, the 2/2/2 allowance for the condo sleeping 8 was not. The balcony furnishings are high grade and durable. In this unit, what you see is what you get. The six who stayed in this unit all week were comfortable and relaxed.....a true home away from home with an ocean and city view! The resort grounds are well maintained and the pools are awesome!

Beautiful condo! View was great. The only two things that were a bother was it was not easy to find. Then once we found it, finding the check in on 2nd floor was not mentioned. Also, there needs to be a way for people staying here to clean windows on the patio. Other than that, the stay was good!
