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!
