Diamond Head Beach Resort

Life is what you make it. We loved this place. I like NOT needing a car. Can walk to all you need. Great location. Close to many great places to eat, drink and shop. Yes, the gulf is shallow. Still enjoyed the heck out of it. Room was very clean and spacious. Cabana bar downstairs was very good. Plenty of frozen drinks. Pool was excellent along with the two hot tubs. Service everywhere was friendly and helpful. This is simply a great place to stay. A wonderful place to spend your vacation. We WILL be back!

we had our wedding reception at Diamondhead on 4÷30÷16, we could not have been happier. Kimberly and Marcel did an amazing job from set up to Marcel organizing the sparkler sendof to bringing the cards, etc to our room. The only regret I have is we did not get married there, we would have beach packed down for me,(I am in wheelchair) However our family and friend raved about Diamondhead, I can tell you the property is beautiful and the staff is amazing, everyone!!!

I would suggest DiamondHead for any wedding on the beach”
My mom chose DiamondHead Beach Resort Hotel on Fort Myers Beach for our wedding. Now that we’ve had our wedding — I can honestly say, my mom hit it out of the park. I’m so glad she chose this hotel. Kimberly Gant is in charge of the events at the hotel — and she was available via email and phone ANY time I needed her. In the days leading up to the event — and on the day of the wedding, Kimberly was calm and professional — and handled everything with grace and kindness. I would suggest getting married at this hotel solely because of her. I also cannot say enough about the banquet manager, Marcel. He was as enthusiastic about our wedding as we were! He was there until it ended — making sure our guests were absolutely happy. (And, he worked the next morning at 7am!)
This hotel is perfect for a destination wedding.
More notes:
Rooms are clean and they are all suites. You’ll have plenty of room for kids, etc.
Very clean pool — and excellent pool service.
Always friendly bartenders at Cabanas.
Good breakfast in Cleos. Very clean and friendly service too.
Free wifi
Free parking
Great pool for families
Room Tip: Pick a gulf view!

Decent place. Great views. Wonderful staff. Bar at pool is great. Chloe’s at night, no so much unless you like karaōke. Rooms are fair and very clean. Don’t be alarmed when you exit the elevator and think you are in a parking garage. Halls have no carpets and painted battleship grey. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a getaway.

Extremely poor WIFI. Also lots of street construction. The bars close at 8pm Mon — Thursday and 10pm Fri & Sat. Then they tried to get us to purchase a Time Share. Not going to happen. Also you really need a car to get around. Things are really spread out.

Giving this place a 4 rating but there are definitely some misses by this place. The biggest miss is the WiFi. It either does not work or is like using dial up from 1999. The tv didn’t work half the time we were there for a six night stay. The last miss was the restrooms that are available outside by the pool are obviously public restrooms. Not bad if you are a guy but the girls are better off going up to the room. We came here with a family of four with a 7 month old and 2.5 year old. The place was great for the them with the pool and beach access. The balcony was great because it was screened in so you didn’t have to worry about toys falling down below or bugs getting you. The people were great, friendly and helpful. The pros definitely outweigh the cons… but no wifi… come on now… it is 2016.

Stayed here last December and on our way for another 2-​night getaway trip today. This is the best place you can imagine to kick back and enjoy being pampered. Great restaurant, beautiful rooms, sparkling pool and beach, staff so friendly that you feel like family! Highly recommend!

Nice resort but not worth $ 400 night. Hall ways look like a prison, nice beach less crowded than others. Nice pool, food OK, above average gym. I’d pay a little more and stay in sanibel instead.

Wonderful stay, wonderful staff, relaxing fun in the sun!
Absolutely great experience from the start. My first contact with staff was so helpful as the individual I spoke with told me about the property, things included in the room, etc. I booked on Hotwire and I feel like you’re always taking a chance. So great to luck out and get to stay at Diamondhead.
Big, clean, pool area with tons of chairs and some shade for whatever your preference might be. Want a poolside drink? Cabanas, the outdoor bar attached to the pool/​hotel will serve you up some pool side beverages. Mai Tai please! Also tried the food, not my favorite place on the island, but if you don’t want to leave your chair it will get the job done. I recommend the fish tacos. Fresh grouper at the time. Pretty decent! Drinks about $ 6−7/piece and considering we’re at a hotel that price is more than fair. I hear their Bloody Mary bar is well worth the money on Sunday’s.
Not only do you get the pool, ten steps and you’re on the beach to lounge or swim. Soft white sands forever in each direction. Hard to beat that for a subset walk! Need a chair and don’t wanna pay? Tip: ask the bell man if any past guests left chairs behind you could use during your visit! Great way to save some cash if they have any left behind.
Did I mention the awesome staff? Not one negative experience. Everyone upbeat and positive. Bell man gave us restaurant suggestions and vouchers/​free drink coupons. No bad attitudes, just smiles. You don’t see that every day. Way to go Diamondhead! We also arrived early/​left late and the staff offered us pool keys so we could get to relaxing ASAP. Now that is an awesome perk!
Why 4 stars and not 5? The room itself, while well equipped, was a bit dated for how much we were paying. Very nice that room include a mini fridge, sink, dishes glasses and silverware, microwave and dishwasher! Toaster too so we had the option to make a quick breakfast. Outdoor screened in porch awesome with a table and two loungers. A bit loud the way the building is built but still nice to see the beach. Furnishings such as the couch and tables seemed a bit dated. Couches and chairs just looked plain old. Bathroom functional but a bit dated as well. An update gets a 5 star! Regardless, bed comfortable and AC kept us cool on warm days.
Looking forward to returning for my next visit. Save a pool seat for me please!

Stayed here on 3÷5÷16 as a quick layover before taking the Key West Express. Found the beach to be nice, and the evening sunset from the beach bar was nice. But other than that, the restaurant service was mediocre, and my chicken on the grilled chicken salad was dry and dull. The room was stark, the mattress was rock hard, and the staff offered no consolation for this. This «resort“may be priced competitively for the region, but it is not worth the prices charged.

Stayed her for a three night girls’ getaway last week. Great location, nice rooms, best beach location you could ask for and a nice private balcony. Convenient restaurant and lounge onsite. Easy walk to Times Square, too! But… the best part of all was our sweet bellhop Kentuckian named John. He was so helpful with our bags in the rain, parking our car, giving us coupons on the spot for the restaurants we were heading to. Give that man a raise!!! The only reason for the 4 instead 5 rating was the very late in the day housekeeping (5 pm) and the noise from the lounge below could be heard in the room at night, even with the doors closed. But, we loved it and I’m going back in February with my husband for a Red Sox spring training outing…

At a recommendation from a friend, my husband & I stayed this past April 22^nd to May 2^nd. Our room was on the 11^th floor with the pool/​gulf view. We were very pleased with the amenities and accommodations, friendliness of the staff and the quality of their food. Also, Time Square is walking distance from the beach to get to the restaurants and shopping right at the pier. We are planning a shorter trip back in October. Definitely the nicest hotel in that area

We arrived at the hotel to find that our reservation never made it to the hotel after we booked it, as well as a twist in the age policy that you have to be 25 years old. The woman at the front desk gave us this attitude, like we weren’t paying guests in a high quality resort because we were 18 years of age. It took us about an hour and a half to finally confirm our booking and get to our room. Even after that fiasco they still didn’t seem to be willing to compensate us for the issue we experienced. Anyway…
We got up to the room and were pleasantly surprised by the spacious suite with amenities for 4. It was clean, open spaced, and beachy. We felt a tad hot, but waited for the temperature to adjust.
Considering our day was severed by this check-​in malfunction, we were still ready to have a great time. That being said we didn’t spend much time at the hotel before we set out to explore the town.
When we got back, we spent most of our time outside on the screened in porch, it was very enjoyable. Then we set in for the night.
When we woke up, it was 5:30 am and we were sweating in bed… The a. c was busted, and probably always had been, so we had to call for maintenance, who didn’t arrive until 7 am. So they sent the security who, (SURPRISE), had no luck.
At 7:20 am the friendly maintenance team came and fixed the a. c quickly and after that we were ice cold, no complaints there. But oh my, all that and we never experienced any kind of sympathy from the staff. ANYWAY…
We woke up after all that at around 12:30 pm, exhausted from a poor nights sleep. But still we had a marvelous day in Fort Myers Beach. Still nothing from the staff…
After our mini-​vacation was butchered by the late check-​in and the unrestful nights sleep caused by a busted A/​C, we were a little peeved, and tried to at least spring for the late-​check option they had listed in the welcome packet. It was listed for $ 50 until 4pm, but we planned on demanding on them comping it for us. But no, when we called down and simply inquired about it, they woman immediately told us how they hotel was «too full». Anyway…
We ended up checking out at 11 am and getting some pool keys to hang at the beach.
The place was really great, don’t get me wrong.
But, I expected more from them in such trip ruining situations.
I felt they discriminated against us because of our young age (18), which really put a damper on the whole trip. :/​
In all actuality, this is probably one of the nicest hotels on the strip, and is worth the bucks, but not the hassle.

Most amazing Resort I’ve been to in a while! Booked this place for my boyfriend birthday weekend. The welcoming staff topped it off. Ask to upgrade your room… Originally I booked for a Gulf view, and I was upgraded to a gulf view room but newly renovated with Granite countertops and amazing décor. Cabanas (located downstairs) was fun and full of games and various drink choices. A must go to place when visiting. We will definitely return for our next trip.

Causally loved this place, would stay here again, rooms were $ 215, pool was nice and great beach, perfect for kids, close to everything if you are just a little more upscale…

Nice clean room facing the gulf
King sized bed and pull out couch in the other room.
Bathroom shared between the two rooms.
Clean beach and pool.
Thin towels included but beach chairs and umbrellas are extra.
Near most of the bars and restaurants at the north end of the island.
First time in FMB. It is conveniently located with Mercato in north naples and downtown naples to the south.
Sanibel and captiva to the north.

Nice place… we really enjoyed our stay the free bikes are cool. The views are gorgeous. Yet, the hotel is missing on the little details. When we walked into the room the handle to the balcony door was broken off and the tv was stuck on the welcome screen. Both were quickly resolved. They also had an expired inspection sticker in one of the elevators that was changed at the end of our stay plus some of the vending machines price labels were out of date compared to actual charge. The balcony view of a gulf view room is gorgeous but there is a compressor constantly running on that side of the building that needs to be tuned out,
Overall we had a great time at a nice place.

Really nice hotel. Made reservations through
love that website for hotels and traveling.

(Just to give you an idea what I got and what I paid)
When we arrived I got told that you have to be 25 to be able to stay here. Well I’m 21, and they of course let me stay and they held like $ 150 off to the side extra on my card incase of any damages because well as we all know most 21 yr olds are sh**heads. Nope didn’t get charge anything extra. The front desk lady who took the payment and everything was very nice. Gave us our room key and off we went. I knew we weren’t going to get the best of views but hey beach view is better than street view.
Here I’ll post some photos for you guys to get the idea what it was I got. I was quite pleased, very clean, smelt clean (you know how some hotels smell disgusting haha this one doesn’t) and it was cool inside. yay for being able to adjust the temp in each room. Also because I didn’t post a picture outside the bedroom where the sliding glass door is a round table that seats 4 people; there was an ashtray and luckily no cigarette buds ashes or nasty smell (:!!!
**All in all HIGHLY recommend staying at this hotel. It’s probably the CLEANEST one on the beach hence why it’s $$$!!! And WORTH IT!!!
There’s a pool, 2 jacuzzis, a bar, restaurant thing downstairs by pool, and restaurant chloes somewhere in the building which I have also wrote a review on.
TIP: bring your own shampoo, body wash and of course maybe even some extra towels (:

Girls trip was a success! Hospitality was amazing! Rooms were clean & had everything we needed, even when we ran out of hairspray! Cabana’s is awesome & Joe the bartender took great care of us KY girls! Location was perfect! We’ll be back again soon!

Great little spot! Staff was really helpful and accommodating.
DiamondHead is hard to find, but there is ample parking (if you can get a spot!) and they realize that. Chloe’s parking is there as well, and you don’t have to worry about a ticket or guest pass– as long as you can find a spot to then go in and dine or sleep, you’re good.
Place is bigger than it seems, and I may be telling friends to stop in and stay…
Foursquare users: Right now there’s a special going on. If you check in (first time) and show your phone, you get a free travel mug courtesy of Sun Resorts… how cool!
