We've stayed at Diamond Beach Resort multiple times, and it continues to be one of our favorite places in Galveston. The resort is clean, well maintained, and never feels overly crowded, which makes for a much more relaxing vacation. The pools are great, beach access is easy, and there are plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained.The only suggestion I have would be to open the pools and lazy river at 8:00 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. Also, any daily maintenance should ideally be completed before the amenities open. One morning, the lazy river was scheduled to open at 9:00, but maintenance was still being done, so guests had to wait another 30–45 minutes before it was available. Taking care of that work before opening would create a much better experience for early risers.Overall, we had another wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Diamond Beach Resort to anyone visiting Galveston. We look forward to coming back again.

Well appointed property with a great view. The location is a bit challenging because nothing is really within walking distance and there is no actual beach, just giant rocks.

The condo has a wonderful view and was very comfortable and clean. The Diamond Beach amenities and location are perfect for a family.

This rental was disappointing overall. You are renting from a property manager not an actual owner. Traveling by plane, it’s difficult to park items like beach chairs, beach towels, soaps, detergent, garbage bags, etc. we had to buy so many things just to throw them away at the end. It’s wasteful. They should provide basics for being at the beach away from home. There were broken doors/locks on the master bedroom door and the shared hallway bathroom. The shower in the master was broken so we only had 1 shower between 6 people. The property itself was well-maintained and the kids had a great time at the pool and lazy river. Sad to be at the beach and not have chairs and an umbrella unless we paid to rent. I use VRBO because it’s an owner based platform so this property seems misrepresented.
