The Diplomat is a fun place to stay! It is undergoing some renovations but that didn't take away from it being a fun stay. The location is awesome placing you on the ocean and the beautiful intercoastal waterway. On top of the water views, the location is close to shopping, dining and entertainment.

The hotel itself is nice and gives you a feel of opulence even while undergoing renovations. The staff was pleasant. It's also a lively resort and one could find enough entertainment within without having to leave the property!

The rooms were great and the views spectacular! The rooms were like modern with an old school feel. Our room was modern yet very retro! The bathroom was design inspiring! Loved the glass shower/toilet combo and the louvered partition that also opens up to the room... nice!

My biggest complaint... is it's a very busy hotel making valet parking undesirable. The drop off area and valet was clogged and just a big cluster 'F'. My advice, if you aren't spoiled and can stand to walk a little and carry your own luggage (provided you don't have a lot of it!) I advise one to self park! If they fix that, they'll solve one major problem.

Outside of the drop off/valet issue everything else was fine! I'll def visit this hotel again!
