DiamondHead Beach Resort

DiamondHead Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"The suite we were in 910, has a very nice view of the ocean. The suite was very comfortable but the bed was too firm for us. The fans below at sidewalk level are very noisy and can be heard while sitting on the spacious balcony. We also thought Mojos was indoors with seating. It is a food truck outside. We ate at Cabanas which was very good. We will be returning to this resort."
