I loved the property! Right on the beach. Clean rooms and a friendly staff. Excellent restaurant on property that I used several times. The reason for only 4 stars was the parking. On Friday and Saturday evening, they had wedding receptions on the property and there was no parking for the hotel guests because the wedding guests were taking it all. On Friday night my husband kept driving around and finally found a spot. On Saturday night, we arrived back at the hotel at 9:30 to find no parking again. We waited, but it was obvious that this wedding was going well into the night and we were tired. So we ended up parking across the street and had to pay park mobile $42.50 for the night. Sunday morning we spoke with a manager who apologized and reimbursed us. He mentioned that there was valet parking but the front desk did not mention it the night before. So we got reimbursed, it was just a hassle to wait for a spot after dark when you are tired and ready for bed.

I would give this property a 10 out of 10. The only thing we did not like. The premium suite has two what seemed like full-size beds and the bedroom is rather small compared to the rest of the living space If they had one queen, bed and one full, it would be a much better situation for a couple Everyone met you with a smile and was courteous and helpful

The Icona Diamond Beach is a top notch hotel. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff and the spotless facilities. People were always cleaning something. I honestly haven't stayed at a cleaner hotel, and that is saying something considering it's right on the beach. The room was as advertised, a little smaller than it appeared in the photos (especially the bathroom), but more than adequate and has nice furnishings in excellent condition. It was nice to have the small kitchenette as well, and the quality of the dishes etc. was good. The only disappointment was the restaurant, which is lackluster at best. We only ate a few meals there. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and highly recommend.
