I visited The Diplomat to attend a conference. I reserved a room with a king bed. So as part of a couple the hotel clerk asked if I wanted 2 queens and I said no. He said the king rooms are all on lower floors and I would not have a view. I said I don't care. He said I can wait for a better room to become available. I again told him I don't care. He told me o would not get a balcony again, I didn't care. Eventually, though he wore me down and I accepted a queen room. It was nice and roomy and the view was to die for, the balcony was one on the best features. The hotel is huge. There are 2 pools and private access to the beach. It would be great if they made one of the pools adult only. The beach is not crowded behind the hotel. The drinks at the hotel bar we're very expensive $15 a pop. I splurged and got one and they were very tasty. I didn't care for the room service menu. For dinner, there were not many options and the hotel restaurant is way over priced. The breakfast menu is also very small and expensive, prompting me to get up and go out for breakfast.
