A fantastic hotel with the most exceptional, friendly staff I have ever met. So many to mention but here are a few notable names, Yuseph, Devoth, Victor, Erastus, Kulvert, King, Marwa, Vinoth. They could not do enough for you, and on the exceptional occasion they didn't (probably due to minor misunderstanding of English) they do their damdest to put it right. Buffet food was fantastic with so much available choice for breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Loved the array of fresh fruit, homemade jams and coffee was delicious. Cleaning of rooms and delivery of water each day was great too.Also particularly enjoyed the evening entertainment particularly the the acrobats.

The food, the service and the amenities were very good. It is a beautiful property and the staff are so helpful. There was some noise from the construction next door but we didn’t really notice it very much. The company running the diving and snorkeling excursions on the property were very organized and professional. There was entertainment 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. The Italian dinner night on the beach with dancing on Saturday night was a nice treat and the acrobats on the Friday night was great entertainment.

We had an amazing time at Diamonds Resort!!! We stayed for week and enjoyed every aspect of the resort. The reception staff including Ally were accommodating to all of our needs and questions. The food was outstanding Marwa, Victor and Abbas made sure all the food and drinks were top notch! Our boys loved all the food options and drinks!! The pool was our family favorite place! Rasheed did an amazing job with making sure we had towels and chairs for our pool time. All the bar staff and wait staff were accommodating! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you to everyone who helped us and made us feel like family while we were there! See you next time!!

It’s far away from the loud streets of Stone Town and the crowded, popular beaches. Tucked away is this quaint resort that has a pool, seaside bungalows, and 2 restaurants. The buffet was great every day with many varied foods. The girl is on the east side and not too far a drive to mist day trip destinations. The staff were very friendly and tried their best to please. Once in a lifetime experiences and then a cozy, comfortable place to come back to…..nice!
