Josh Wexler Review of Diplomat Resort & Spa
I would never stay at this place again. I'm three ...
I would never stay at this place again. I'm three days in to a five day trip and can't wait to leave.
I'll start with the good. The rooms are very nice, the lobby is beautiful and the the people bare incredibly nice. The kids dip and slide was enjoyable for my oldest for. A little while.
Now the rest. The prices are absolutely out of this world. Breakfast for one adult and two children, 3 and 6, cost me $90. The kids ate about 2 dollars worth of food and the buffet while good, had the smallest selection of any buffet I've ever seen.
No in room coffee. For over 300 dollars a night you could at least provide in room mediocre coffee.they do have a ridiculous espresso machine that makes about an ounce per pod. Oh, and they dont replace the pods. They'll probably bill me for them upon check out. I thought we'd save money by eating at the grab and go place. No so fast. $14 for a lousy turkey sandwich that consisted of turkey and lettuce. $12 for an asian Chicken salad that was decent. So much for that thought.
Now there's not much they can do about this but the beach is awful. My kids would be underwater if they went more than five feet out.
The kids club, while closed at the moment is also an absolute fortune. $90 per child for a half day. We went on a cruise recently and the kids club was included.
Oh the shower, that's a game of dodge the extremes. It randomly goes from scalding to cold. So you jump in while it's jumping between temp range and jump out before you get third degree burns or freeze.
This is absolutely the worst nice hotel I've ever stayed in. There's nothing to do in the immediate area and their parking costs are also astronomical making renting a car ridiculous. No restaurants within walking distance of this place and they must know it. Hence the ridiculous prices.
If you can't tell by now I absolutely hate this place and if we hadn't flown here I'd be in my car already heading home.
Frankly this place just is awful and I would NEVER go anywhere near this place again.
