Great place to stay !

We stayed at the executive suite as an anniversary gift. The room was spacious, the stereo and television were updated. The bedroom is just right. The bathroom grand! What can I say, it's an executive suite!
Diamond hotel is one of the "original" hotels in the Roxas Boulevard area. I remember it had a reputation as being one of the posh hotels in the 80's. So now it is a "senior" hotel. I believe they have updated the lobby, pool area and restaurants. The buffet was grand and included several cuisines in the menu.
The staff was friendly and helpful and honest! I actually forgot my blackberry in the room and when I called to check the next day it was reported to have been promptly surrendered the same day we checked out. I claimed it untouched and untampered. Absolutely wonderful.
I have to say that I wish they would change the carpet because there were wine stains in some areas and the couch in the Exec suite was not that comfortable.
Never the less I think Diamond Hotel has maintained its stature in Manila as one of the top hotels. You will not be disappointed.

I have stayed in several five-star hotels but I must say that my stay in Diamond hotel is one of the most memorable. The staff were all facilitative. Room service is fast and very efficient.

The things the like are as follows:

1. The pool on the second floor is really nice. My nephews and nieces enjoyed it. My mom particularly loved the jacuzzi.

2. The place is very secure. You will see hotel staff making a regular rounds.

3. Consistent room service. Although, I must say that I did not get my complimentary soaps on the 3rd-5th day. I stayed there for more than 10 days.

Room for improvement:

1. I love the breakfast buffet but it is too expensive. P1000/head.
2. Lighting in the corridors can be improved.
3. There are times when you call the front desk calls are unanswered.
4. It's P11,000.00 per night. So, expensive. (But worth it) I hope you can give promos.

Great place to stay for a business trip, food is very expensive in the restaurant compared with usual Metro Manila prices but there are a few places you can get to close by, it is close to the sea, views are amazing
Close to Robinsons Mall for loads of shopping. But get a cab as the streets arent the safest after dark
i also attended a conference in the hotel which was well catered and organised
