DiamondHead has clearly gone through a recent remodel, and you can tell--they've freshened things…read moreup nicely, especially after Hurricane Ian. The newly updated beach bar area is the standout: gorgeous, inviting, and the perfect place to unwind with great live music drifting through the salt air. Now, yes... there's sand everywhere. But you're on a beach, so it's kind of like finding glitter after Christmas--it comes with the territory. The only real hiccup during our stay was the AC. We had to ask twice at the front desk before someone came to take a look, and we spent the first day and a half trying to convince ourselves we "run warm." Once it was fixed, all was well, but a quicker response would've made the stay even smoother. Overall, a lovely resort with fresh upgrades and a stellar beachfront atmosphere--just a little TLC away from being truly top-notch.

Absolutely love this hotel. This was our first time back since hurricane ian. The service we…read morereceived from front desk and most staff was amazing. The managers were so attentive and every time we passed by checked in on us to see what activities we had done or suggest new activities for us to do. We loved the kayaking and paddle boards - also rented jet skis 2 separate days. Getting day passes for additional guests was super easy. Love the ease of the bracelets doing everything, being the key, room charge, proof we belong - super easy for everyone to keep track Of! The complimentary breakfast was "ok" nothing spectacular, but still decent. The guy who collected the towels by the pool (seemed like a manager/lead) was rude every single day - to the point we waited to take our towels back a few times to avoid another interaction. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I wanted a quick getaway to clear our heads and reset, and we found this spot down in…read moreFt. Myers that ended up being even better than we expected. The entire area was clean, right on the beach, and the staff was friendly everywhere we went. The resort offers a ton of amenities: free kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, lounge chairs, and umbrellas. They also have paid options like fishing charters and other nearby excursions. There are three pools total -- two family pools and one adults‑only pool -- plus a couple of hot tubs. Our room was amazing. We were on the first floor with a perfect view of the beach. The adults‑only pool was right in front of our balcony, so we could relax, listen to the music, or join the trivia games happening throughout the day. The room itself was spacious and included a kitchenette with a stove, which made it easy to cook if we wanted to. You can stay busy here or do absolutely nothing -- we chose the "chill" route. There are two restaurants and a bar on the property, but if you want more options, you can walk about 15-30 minutes (rough estimate) or drive 2 mins (fyi paid parking) to the main strip with plenty of shops and restaurants. The front desk also told us about a trolley that runs for $0.75 each way or $2.00 for an all‑day pass. Everything was close by, we didn't get in our car until it was time to head home. We'll definitely be coming back. It's a little on the pricier side, but with everything included -- and probably more that I'm forgetting -- it's absolutely worth it.

The property is beautiful and I loved the lazy river (except the inescapable waterfalls). I was…read morethere for a conference and was particularly impressed with Phil's events team. They were so respectful of the guests and kept our tables immaculately cleared. Access to the island by boat was a surprise and thoroughly enjoyable. Plus, the captain and boat crew were focused on ensuring patrons had a positive experience by slowing for bird and dolphin sightings and their willingness to take family pictures. In addition, our room was incredible with three balconies and two amazing views. The gym was also nice; all the machines were clean and working, plus it was well equipped. For such a fancy hotel, I was quite surprised there was nowhere to find water. I expected a fruity water station somewhere near the entry, a standard in high-end hotels today. I was also surprised the concierge could not provide a running map. Even with the local construction, the path right out the front door is nice and separated from traffic. I found the run to Target (for a cool coffee drink) was perfect for a 5-miler. Surely the 10-mile option would include even more treats. Having the front doors opened every time anyone approached the front of the hotel was a nice touch.

It was gross. Valet took forever due to them being open to the public so hotel guests are not the priority unfortunately. Honestly the bad outweighed the good. Resort is overpriced and not as nearly as clean as other reviews said. Rooms are nice though. Unable to use balcony due to people smoking. The beach is nice. IMO it's not worth the money, especially if you want a smoke free vacation resort. Beware, there's a quiet section by the pool but no staff likes to work it because they think you're not spending money. We had to go to bar for service. Oh, the gym is nice too. So it's not all bad, just mostly. Food was meh. We left the property to eat better quality food. My expectations were not met, that's for sure.

MELISSA AND SCOTT (both at the pool) and MIKE (a porter) were the absolute BEST wait staff. Mike…read moretook all of our bags and showed us up to a smooth check-in process that included complimentary drinks. He got us and our friends off to our rooms quickly and as we saw him around the grounds the rest of the week was always cheerful and a joy to chat with. We got a Cabana for two days, and Melissa was our assigned waitress on day one. Simply stellar. She kept checking up on us, provided great advice on what to do, and our group of 14 couldn't have had a better time. Scott helped us out on day two when our assigned waiter for the cabana (who I won't name) was a little too much on the younger side to be able to be as attentive and simply had a hard time making the connection that Melissa and Scott did. Melissa and Scott had water shoes, and were not afraid of coming right up to us when we were on the edge of the pool, as it was no deal to get their shoes wet. We WILL be back; we WILL ask for Melissa and Scott. Otherwise, in the resort, it was extremely clean and the atmosphere was spot-on. The coffee shop next to the pedestrian bridge to the pool from the main hotel helped with the bender hangovers, and the staff there were very nice. The lobby on the second floor was nice, as the parking and utilities for the hotel are on the hurricane-flood-prone ground floor. There was night entertainment out on the promenade, and I was grateful that we had a room on the outside of the hotel not overlooking the promenade, but I noticed by 1030pm, the loud music was gone. Good balance between partying and letting us drunks sleep. Great party hotel. Great DJ earlier in the day. The couple who sang and played music in the DJ Cabana also were great. The later-in-the-day DJ was less impressive; he hesitated to play some of the songs we requested. The location was central to many dining and entertainment options. The shop in the lobby had some essentials we forgot as well. If there is any critique; continue to focus on making sure the younger wait staff have no problems with old-fashioned effective communication and making time to check back in plenty of times throughout the day, especially if the cost of the drinks is as high as it is. I have no problem paying for it if the wait staff are as attentive as Melissa and Scott.

We had a gulf view 2 bedroom on the the 7th floor. The room comes with many amenities including practically anything you'd need in the kitchen except for a pizza pan! One watch out- the beach is a very far walk from the resort. Definitely not a great choice for those who cannot walk that far or need a bathroom near. Another big watch out - rooms on the north side of the building from about the 6th floor down have large palm trees obscure the view of the gulf!!! They rental chairs and umbrellas are convenient but are taken up very early around 2:30 pm - disappointing given the cost Our kitchen was flooded the 1st night by the upstairs apartment's ice maker waterline. It's just an unfortunate event but did waste a good part of our first day towel drying the floor and carpet. The front desk offered to dry vac it but we opted against it since we'd already got most of it blotted up. The front desk does a towel exchange for the pool towels which eliminates the nuisance of drying towels from the pool. We really enjoyed the grills and lovely landscaping. I would gladly stay again for the quality of everything.

There wasn't a lot going on, even during the middle of summer. This isn't a resort. I would barely call it a hotel. We rented a suite which included several connected rooms. We had a full kitchen, large balcony and even a washer and dryer. If your looking for a quiet place to call home for a few weeks this would be ideal. The balconies are large and you could watch the subset everyday. But I would typically be looking for a place with ba little excitement. Drinks by the pool. Music. Restaurants. Private beaches etc. This place had none of that. Just a clean, quiet, boring place. Maybe your looking for that?

Maybe that comes off as cheap, but don't blame the player blame the game. I didn't create the game. After check-in the room was very nice with a beautiful view. Breakfast was done very well and was tasty. Of course the gulf beach and easy access were the star of the show. When exchanging beach towels we were asked our room number even though we had just deposited our towels in the hamper and were wearing our resort bracelets. This was odd and appeared to be intentionally degrading, but ya know, some people. It was also the clerk who had checked us in the night we arrived. Poor girl has a gripe with someone for something I am unaware, I'm sure.

I was in town for a conference, and was very excited to come and check out this hotel as I've heard great things about it. Upon my arrival, I went to the valet to drop my car off and ask for a dolly thing to bring the boxes in my car over to the conference exhibit hall. The valet man that greeted me was immediately rude and off putting telling me I couldn't use the dolly and that he didn't know where the conference was/exhibit hall was and I had to figure it out. He was absolutely no help and extremely rude for no reason. He eventually got the dolly and helped me find the conference (he found it immediately). The rest of the valet men were very nice and efficient. The valet line is like a chik fil a drive thru, very efficient and fast moving. The actual hotel was stunning. The bathrooms and lobby and rooms were beautiful. The pool and beach are were very nice as well. It's a beautiful hotel, that gives luxurious vibes. I had both food at the conference and food from room service/the lobby bar. The conference food was not that great. Some of it was good, while some of it was stale and had mold in it. That's unbelievable for a ritz Carlton. And like I mentioned previously, we had ordered some food from the lobby bar and told them about the tree nut allergy and a shrimp allergy for someone else. When they brought the food they told me to avoid one of the meals due to possible cross contamination, which I did. I took one bite of all the 3 other dishes brought and immediately had a reaction and had to run to the souvenir shop and buy Benadryl. This is extremely dangerous. Thank god I didn't have an anaphylactic reaction and need to call 911.
