We stayed in room 31 - 2 bedroom unit, air con in the lounge, ceiling fans in all the rooms, 2 bathrooms, and aside from finding ants on our bench top in the kitchen, and cobwebs on the ceiling in the lounge we had a nice stay. Pool was nice, shops are close by & Mermaid Beach is just a... More

A great place to get away but still have all the facilities you have at home. The resort is clean, quiet and staff are friendly. The room had a kitchen which was fantastic as we were only a bus ride away from the shops. The bus stop is directly out the front of the resort and same on the opposite... More

Our first ever family holiday interstate and my children are now teenagers.. So this was a trip of a lifetime for us.. Booked a 3 bedroom apartment (after perusing the resort photo's) and it looked great. Well what a complete disappointment from the moment we walked in the door.. The smell was disgusting(like something had died), the bathrooms filthy, tiles... More

We, our family of 5, stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment right near the beautiful lagoon pool which had different depths for everyone, and a spa, and had easy access to the underground carpark. We thought it well situated, good security, spacious, clean and comfortable. Also found the price very affordable and the office staff were friendly and helpful and made... More

Our room was dirty and had an awful smell. The vacuum cleaner in the room was full of cigarettes despite it being a non-smoking room. The balcony was filthy. When we complained to management they did send up 2 cleaners to clean the balcony and bathrooms but there was no follow up from management after that. Generally doors, walls and... More

Fantastic accommodation with a family atmosphere. Nice and clean, always someone cleaning the outdoor areas (pool). Key entry through gates and undercover carpark. Friendly staff. Close to convenience stores and plenty of variety of nearby restaurants. I would definitely go back :))

We stayed here with our extended family, so we rented out 5 apartments! The problem I have when apartments are individually owned they are up to different standards. Some were nicer than others, thats why now I prefer to rent directly off private owners! The pools were great, the kids loved having space to run around! The only thing I... More

We stayed at Diamond Sands with our teenagers and found it an ideal base. The apartment quality may vary as all are individually owned. Ours, a 2-bed on the third floor was adequate rather than luxurious but the rental was cheaper than more centrally located apartments in Surfers' Paradise.The pool was nice to come back to and opens until 9pm....

I have just come back from some seriously needed escapism and found a little bit of paradise in Diamond Sands. The apartments are so homely and cater to all your holiday needs. The location could not be better situated to all the Gold Coast has to offer. Nothing is more than a short bus trip or stroll away. Hats go... More
