The food, the service and the amenities were very good. It is a beautiful property and the staff are so helpful. There was some noise from the construction next door but we didn’t really notice it very much. The company running the diving and snorkeling excursions on the property were very organized and professional. There was entertainment 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. The Italian dinner night on the beach with dancing on Saturday night was a nice treat and the acrobats on the Friday night was great entertainment.

We had an amazing time at Diamonds Resort!!! We stayed for week and enjoyed every aspect of the resort. The reception staff including Ally were accommodating to all of our needs and questions. The food was outstanding Marwa, Victor and Abbas made sure all the food and drinks were top notch! Our boys loved all the food options and drinks!! The pool was our family favorite place! Rasheed did an amazing job with making sure we had towels and chairs for our pool time. All the bar staff and wait staff were accommodating! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you to everyone who helped us and made us feel like family while we were there! See you next time!!

It’s far away from the loud streets of Stone Town and the crowded, popular beaches. Tucked away is this quaint resort that has a pool, seaside bungalows, and 2 restaurants. The buffet was great every day with many varied foods. The girl is on the east side and not too far a drive to mist day trip destinations. The staff were very friendly and tried their best to please. Once in a lifetime experiences and then a cozy, comfortable place to come back to…..nice!

The smile of all people that work there . Excellent service , clean facility, exceptional food . Victor is amazing cheff .Compliments to the staff that works with him . Compliments to the waiters and waitress that work in the restorants .Compliments to the gardners for the beautiful flowers. Compliments to our cleaning room Eva for her grace and to the other like her that where working very hard . Everting was perfect ? No . What remains is a wonderful vacation . A constructive critic will be on the drinks 🍸 side . Needed more quality selection . Very unusual to do not have prosecco and if we have to pay a part for "Sanbuca" we expect something good. Instead was orrible and we couldn't not even drink but we had to pay . Like i said we enjoyed the vacation but the management has to do more for not felling in this mistakes. I will give a 4.5 in 5 stars 🌟 .

It's a beach front hotel! Pros: As it is a little higher than the beach, the beach boys would just bother you when you would go to the beach, when you are inside the hotel property they don't. They serve coconut water daily, and for it was a big plus! It's a big hotel, lots of sunbeds and places to hang around Cons: The beach was full of seaweed, and for the 8 days that I was there they just cleaned the excess on the sand just once. Other surrounding hotels did it more often. If you want fresh beach towels, you have to give them back the used ones till 6pm. As there is sun till 7pm, for me it was a problem, as I needed to cut short my day so I'd have fresh towels the next day. For a 4 star hotel, I wasn't expecting that. On Sundays and Thurdays nights, they serve dinner outside, with live music. It was really nice, except the music went till 10:15pm and 10:30pm, and it really bothered me, as I was jet lagged and wanted to sleep early, but the music was loud.
