Spent 1 night here with family and we all enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and our kids loved the pool, restaurant and the Penguin show.

Diamond Island Resort has very clean and spacious rooms , an expansive well kept green space and only minutes walk from the beach and Diamond Island to explore. We were lucky enough to see two baby penguins and one adult penguin

Our stay included penguin viewing. The gate wasn’t opened after the one hour so we didn’t see the penguins! Very disappointing.

Management seemed to have no idea. I was supposably given the wrong keys to the wrong room only to find out the room wasnt even ready so I had to wait at least 1 1/2 hrs . Washing machine and the laundry room was very dirty and the Dryer door was damaged and hard to close. At least this facility was free of charge. there was a distinct lack of privacy in the lounge/bedroom area as the blinds didnt cover the window leaving a gap at least 100mm(which the morning sun shone through) and there were no blinds at all on the kitchen window. Will not stay again.
