DiamondHead Beach Resort

We stayed here prior to going on a cruise. The hotel is right on the beach and is about a 5-10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. Our room was comfortably sized, and had a great view of the beach/ocean. The staff was great and enjoyed helping. If we're ever in Fort Myers again, Diamond Head will definitely be at the top of my list of places to stay!

Stayed here before christmas with my mother on a mom-daughter vacation...
The place is OK. Being one of the more pricey places at Fort Myers Beach, we expected more.
The good stuff:
The best thing is the staff - super nice, gentle, helpful, and always gave us good suggestions on stuff.
The breakfast buffet is not half bad but could use fresher fruits!
The pool area/jacuzzi is nice enough and the staff delivers drinks. They have bingo and other rec games outside. Not too bad. Too bad the drinks have no booze in them - buy your own in the liquor store n save money!
The room was great with kitchen, big fluffy beds, nice screened-in balcony looking over the ocean...
But here's where the reason for 2 stars begins:
The rooms are nice enough but the floors are made of tile. That means you can hear EVERYTHING that happens on the floor above. Every morning, our upstairs neighbors started dragging furniture around and wearing heels at like 7AM.
We had a beach-front room and on the dot at 6:30am, the staff would use a tractor to "smooth out the beach" (why?!) and haul their jet-skiis out into the water. This really sucked and we got no sleep.
The hallways are made of stucco and echo really loud. If your neighbors have children, you get piercing screams echoing down into your room. yikes. Also when the maid comes by draggin her cart at 8 am - it's like a rumbling bus!

I think this place is great for early risers with pre-teen kids. Not solo adults.

Also this review is for a stay late Dec 2012 - and they were doing repairs during their holiday season on the bar. Nothing like looking at half-build overhangs and scaffolding while at the "beach side bar" on vacation!

Had a wonderful but short time here recently while property hunting in the Ft Myers area. This place is wonderful all around from the minute you walk in till you unfortunately have to check out. The room was a nice cozy and perfect for a late fall getaway weekend for laying out on the balcony enjoying the sunsets enveloped by the smell of the salt air.

The staff is awesome and super attentive, makes you feel very special.

Great place for a 3 day weekend getaway anytime.
