DiamondHead Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was very clean, felt very luxurious and had some of the most incredible views! The hotel restaurant had delicious above average food and everyone was so friendly and happy to help in anyway they could. Reserving beach chairs was simple, and getting where we needed was just as easy. The rooms were amazing and the large balcony made it awesome to spend time outside and make it very peaceful and private! Definitely recommend!!"
