My stay at the Blue Diamond Hotel was truly exceptional. The grounds are stunning and create such a relaxing atmosphere, but what really stood out was the incredible staff who went above and beyond. The dining options, while delicious, could benefit from more authentic Mexican cuisine. Overall, I left feeling refreshed and appreciated the luxurious experience, though a few amenities could improve.

I had an unforgettable experience at this beautiful resort! The ambiance is stunning and the staff truly make you feel special. However, the dining options fell short at times, particularly during dinner, which often lacked flavor. Despite some minor issues with the rooms needing a little TLC, the overall charm of the resort and the attentive service outweighed the negatives.

My stay at the Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel was simply amazing! Set amidst lush tropical surroundings, it truly felt like a paradise. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. I really loved the spacious and clean rooms, as well as the fantastic food options. The only downsides were that our minibar wasn't replenished daily and the spa had separate areas for each gender, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking relaxation and luxury.
