Best view around!

The view and sound of waves was perfect. Unfortunately it was too cold for me to get in the pool or river but that was my fault. Almost wasn't able to figure out how to use shower but husband figured it out. Still think a knob isnt working, though.

Perfect view!

The condo is beautiful inside and out. The view is spectacular, and the amenities are plentiful. It was too cool and windy for us to use the 300 foot pool or the lazy river, but I'd consider coming back to this unit. We were very pleased.

Family Vacation

This was a great location for a family vacation. The property was amazing with so much to do. We found ourselves wishing we had a couple more days to experience even more of what it had to offer. I would definitely recommend staying at Diamond Beach.

Could be better

Lots of things broken in the unit (master shower, bathroom/bedroom drawers, ice maker) 1towel and 1 washcloth per person for a 3 night stay with no laundry soap is a bit ridiculous. 3 patio chairs for an 8 person condo is also a bit ridiculous. But you can't beat the view!

Spring Break '24

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property. It was warm and inviting with enough space for all of us to have our own downtime. The balcony gave us an amazing view of the gulf and we spent a lot of time out there. Would recommend this property to others who want a comfortable, clean space with a great view for vacation!

Diamond on the Beach

We booked our visit for a girls trip. The resort is beautiful and secure. We were surprised there were no basic amenities such as salt, pepper, sugar, coffee or coffee filters etc. The condo needs a deep cleaning especially the ceiling fans.

Loved it, but...

Lovely condo with perfect location! Dishwasher was broken, but we had quick response by owner, just to leave dirty dishes in there. So we were handwshing the whiole time. The patio sliding door handle was broken when we arrived but was fixed. The night before we left, it broke again, completely off. There was ample seating in living room but you need a coffee table!! The kitchen is fairly well stocked. Missing a few items and some of the skillets need to be replaced. We really enjoyed pool and lazy river.

Property needs maintained... Views worth $1,000,000!!

If it wasn't for the view and the pool area, this would have been a very disappointing trip. The property owner needs to invest some money into the upkeep of the property and the Ryson group who manages the property needs to learn how to clean/maintain. For the amount of money we paid to stay there, there's absolutely no reason I should have had to be the general contractor to get multiple things fixed/addressed. I made 4-5 calls in the 6 days we were there to fix/address things. Where to start??? When we walked in, we found the patio door handle broken off and sitting on the island. Shower head in master bath was absolutely filthy/nasty. The sheets on the pull out bed were dirty and not made. Coffee maker had not been cleaned at all including the pot hadn't even been rinsed out. Coffee grounds all over the outside rim around the filter basket. We heard a loud banging from the hallway bathroom sink. Come to find out it was from the AC drip tube that runs into the sink drain. Was able to get the condo maintenance crew to come and they found an absolute filthy HVAC filter that hadn't been changed for months/years. Once they changed that, the loud banging noise in the sink stopped. The windows and glass on the patio railing was absolutely filthy and covered with bird poop (I don't think the cleaning company could get to the balcony to clean due to the broken door handle, why wouldn't they have fixed the door??). Mold on the liner in the hallway shower.

A Beautiful View But Be Prepared

This condo is has a beautiful view and a lovely location, location, location! I was wary of booking through a rental company and not directly with an owner. My wariness was well-founded. Although we enjoyed the beautiful view and the quietness (Christmas is a great time to come to Diamond Resort), there were several small disappointments that will hopefully (that is the reason for my writing this review) be remedied by the time others book. First, and easiest, the VCR (yes)/DVD player did not work at all. Luckily we had brought our own. Second, the toaster lever would not stay down unless you held it down. Third, the coffee maker is a strange brand--not Keurig and not regular (please let people know what kind of pods to bring). Fourth, we could not get the regular shower head in the master shower to work...or we could not figure out how to work it (instructions would be great). We used the rain shower head--not great for washing shampoo out of long hair. Fifth, we had trouble getting the dishwasher to start (again, simple instructions are the answer). And sixth, the WiFi required a second set of authentifications. After entering the WiFi network and password, Comcast essentially required another network name and password. This resulted in several phone calls and one personal visit from the Ryson (rental company) people. They helped us by giving us the WiFi information for the condo next door, whose owner is a relative of the owner. Ryson certainly did their best and fixed the WiFi issue for our stay, albeit not permanently. A last (seventh) comment was that to check-in to Diamond Resort, you need a key fob just to get to the check-in desk on the second floor. After we found a current guest to "fob" us in, there was no one at either front desk on the second floor (we arrived about 4:30 p.m.). I called the Ryson number on our reservation confirmation and the phone directly in front of me rang. A desk staff person came out from behind the wall/office to answer it. Not a great check-in experience. However, the view from the balcony, the security (there is a 24-hour phone number for issues), the facility and the location are all amazing and excellent. We hope to return!

Good for the price of great

Had an adult family of 14, so booked side by side condos, this 3 bedroom that sleeps 8 and a two bedroom that sleeps 6. We were issued two keys (condo) and two fobs (resort/beach access) for each unit. Quickly realized how inadequate this was on afternoon one - Monday. It was super restrictive and we felt like prisoners in the resort until the property mgr and Ryson finally found a solution that was presented to me on Friday evening at 8pm. Checkout was Sunday at 10am, so only 1 full day of no logistical stress. There are poolside cabanas/grills which can be resv/rented. We saw a grill with a flat cooktop that sat atop the grill slats, which was what we wanted. Apparently the flat cooktop was the personal property of an owner and wasn’t available for our use. The property concierge booked it and confirmed the ‘flat cooktop’. I went to Katie’s Seafood Market and bought $150 worth of fresh shrimp and fish. I had the fish filets deskinned, thinking I had the griddle cooktop. When we showed up to start cooking, we only had the standard grill top and the MOD and Maint Mgr informed us that a flat cooktop/griddle is not part of the offering. Had that been clear when I reserved the cabana, I would have left skin on the fish and would have skewered the shrimp. I did’t have foil because I didn’t think I would need it, so it was a struggle to keep the shrimp from falling through the slats and our red snapper quickly flaked apart and fell through the slats. Our beautiful filets looked like fish taco crumbles, which would have been fine if I had been prepared to serve fish tacos. Anyway, we made the best of it for our family and my husband and I were so stressed about it we lost our appetite and didn’t even eat - we had to be off the grill by 8p. The concierge mgr was busy checking ice chests for alcohol not purchased at the property’s swim up bar, she didn’t think to at least offer us a refund of the $40 grill rental, or credit us for a chance at a do-over on another night. The sliding door was terribly hard to open and close, I reported a loose handle to Ryson, which ended up completely breaking off the next day, which disabled the use the balcony completely. They ‘jimmied’ it, the wind caused a horrific whistle. The master bedroom bed frame was broken causing the mattress to sag at the head (so obvious, hskpg should have had that taken care of, but we had to deal with that after a bad first day re: fobs. Pools/grounds are awesome.

Resort amazing, beach awesome, bed not so much

Grand parents, parents and kiddos all had a great time. Definitely will come back to this resort, but not to this condo. The king bed was comfy but one queen was so worn out and one was too small for two people that most of the family didn’t get good sleep. The pull out couch was uncomfortable as a couch and so yucky my daughter just closed it back up. The view was amazing, but please replace the mattresses.
