My husband, son and I concluded our week long vacation for one night on the 10th fl. at the Diamond Head Beach Resort and Spa at 2000 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931 for my birthday and our anniversary. We travel quite often both domestically and internationally and the location of this beachfront hotel and its proximity from the airport was fair; less than 30 minutes away. For this stay, my husband booked through a third-party site. We had a Gulf view which we considered above average due to being able to clearly see not only the ocean, but the city as well. Plus, from our floor right outside our room, was also a view of the lagoon as well. There was an extra-large balcony that held two comfy chairs, two loungers along with tables with two full size sliding patio doors; one leading to and from the master bed room and the other via the main living area along with the kitchen and bath being great spaces also. They were above average in size. The color scheme was relaxing and they had everything needed to make any guests stay enjoyable. Now, although we felt special, we really had no need to, because we were advised that ALL hotels rooms at this hotel have some sort of great view that includes the ocean. The customer service was good from the bar/restaurant waitress, check-in-staff and even the bell hop. There is a nice restaurant and a family- friendly bar like dining area in which the food was really tasty and not too expensive. We were NOT advised or forewarned of construction, but we did hear from another guest and staff of construction taking place during our visit. FORTUNATELY, we did NOT encounter any noise disturbances or unsightly viewings that would indicate construction at all. As for the rooms They appeared extraordinarily clean and comfortable. The Sofa bed was in a perfect location in room not to cause any blockage or safety issues of any sort. The King bed had many pillows and was very comfortable. As for outdoors the pool was a good size and the water was warm and uncrowded and the hot tub was visibly nice. Parking was adequate, but we did come out the next morning to some type of liquid substance appearing to be poured on our windshield, but thought it may have been by someone who had one too many drinks. Anyhow, the beach was literally steps off of the hotels ocean facing side and just as importantly, the location was great! Just a (couple minutes) walk away from the boardwalk, tons of shops, eateries and entertainment. Overall, I'd say the hotel is in need of little to no repairs/improvement. Any improvements made would seemingly be for very small and/or cosmetic updates again, if any. This hotel not only met our expectation, but superseded it. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel at this time and would definitely plan another visit.
