Nestled away from Mazatlán's busy tourist zones, its serene beachfront location provides stunning ocean views and direct access to a clean, secluded shoreline. This setting is highly appreciated for its calm and privacy, making it particularly attractive for seniors or those looking to escape the bustling city atmosphere. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained with praises for the attentive and friendly staff contributing significantly to a pleasant stay.

The breakfast experience is generally positive, featuring good quality items like fruit, yogurt and cereal, although some guests desire more variety and inclusivity, as breakfast is not included in the room price. The Kristal Restaurant offers delicious and reasonably priced dinners, especially highlighting seafood dishes, but would benefit from extending operating hours and offering more variety.

Rooms at Diamond Bay are spacious, featuring kitchens, terraces and multiple bathrooms, but cleanliness and maintenance need improvement. Complaints about dirty, outdated rooms and malfunctioning amenities, such as air conditioning, have surfaced. Some guests have experienced issues with linens and towels, suggesting that enhanced housekeeping could greatly improve guest satisfaction.

Cleanliness across the hotel is inconsistent. While some areas, like the pool and beach, are commendably clean, others, including rooms and public areas, require more thorough upkeep. Attention from the friendly staff often mitigates this issue but doesn't fully compensate for the shortcomings.

Staff members are commonly described as friendly and attentive, significantly enhancing the guest experience. However, there are occasional reports of inefficiency and rudeness, particularly in the reception area.

Internet connectivity at Diamond Bay is restricted primarily to common areas with many guests unable to access a reliable WiFi signal in their rooms, posing a challenge for those needing consistent internet access.

The pool area, featuring an infinity pool with stunning views, is praised for its serene and clean environment. However, the pool's unheated water and early closing time at 9 pm are commonly mentioned drawbacks. On the bright side, the beach is lauded as clean, quiet and perfect for relaxation, although additional amenities like sun loungers and shaded areas could enhance comfort.

Parking is generally well-regarded with good service and security, though the area could benefit from better organization and cleanliness.

Families find Diamond Bay particularly accommodating with spacious rooms, child-friendly pool areas and family-oriented amenities like playgrounds and kitchen facilities making it a highly recommended destination for family vacations.

Overall, Diamond Bay is highly valued for its serene setting, friendly staff and family-friendly environment. With some improvements in room maintenance, cleanliness consistency and dining variety, it could offer an even more exceptional experience.

Location
Nestled comfortably away from the hustle and bustle of Mazatlán's tourist zones, Diamond Bay offers a serene and tranquil escape for those looking to unwind. The hotel is strategically located by the ocean, providing guests with stunning beach views and immediate access to a secluded and beautiful shoreline. Its remote location ensures a peaceful environment, perfect for relaxation and a restful stay.

While it may be far from the Golden Zone and the bustling Malecon, guests appreciate the quiet and privacy this distance allows. The serene setting makes it an ideal choice for seniors, those attending nearby events or simply anyone wishing to avoid the crowded tourist areas. Despite its distance from the city center, guests enjoy the beautiful location, excellent views and the calm, clean environment.

The staff at Diamond Bay are notably attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience with their excellent service. The hotel facilities, including well-maintained pools and comfortable rooms, provide a high level of comfort. The beachfront location is particularly applauded for its tranquility, making it a great spot to relax away from the city noise.

However, potential visitors should be aware that the hotel is quite far from shops, restaurants and major tourist attractions, typically requiring a car ride of around 20-30 minutes to reach these areas. The remote setting may pose challenges for those without a vehicle or those who prefer to be in the midst of city activities. Despite this, for those valuing peace, ocean views and a break from city life, Diamond Bay is an excellent retreat.

Breakfast
Visitors to Diamond Bay have praised the breakfast for its quality, despite noting a few areas for improvement. Many guests described the breakfast as good, great, excellent and delicious, highlighting the presence of fruit, yogurt and cereal, along with attentive staff. However, there were mentions of a lack of variety in the buffet and some operational issues, such as the restaurant not opening on time and long waits for specific dishes like eggs. A number of reviewers pointed out that breakfast options were only available as a buffet and not à la carte, especially on weekends, which did not appeal to everyone.

Several guests were disappointed that the breakfast was not included in the room price and found the additional cost for breakfast and drinks to be high, although they acknowledged the good quality of the buffet. The absence of packages including breakfast and the limited availability of coffee throughout the day were also noted as weaknesses. Overall, while the breakfast receives commendation for its quality and staff service, there is a clear call from guests for more variety and better inclusive options to enhance their experience.

Dinner
At Diamond Bay, the dinner experience at Kristal Restaurant receives a mix of feedback from guests. Many visitors highlight the quality of food with phrases like "very good" and "delicious" paired with reasonable prices. Particular praise goes to the seafood dishes, reflecting positive sentiments on the tastiness and value. The staff and service at the restaurant are also frequently commended for being great and effectively generous.

However, there are areas in need of improvement. Several guests feel that the food, though good, lacks variety and can be somewhat simple or average. Some mention that the restaurant closes early and is occasionally closed on certain days, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, the absence of room service and the restaurant's distance from other grocery stores make dining options limited for some.

In summary, while the food and service at Kristal Restaurant at Diamond Bay receive praise for quality and price, there are noted areas for enhancement, particularly in variety and accessibility.

Rooms
Diamond Bay boasts spacious and well-equipped rooms that offer stunning ocean and pool views. Many guests appreciated the large room sizes, complete with kitchens, terraces and multiple bathrooms. The comfort provided by the beds and the ample space made for a pleasant stay for many.

However, the reviews revealed significant concerns over cleanliness and maintenance. Guests frequently complained about dirty and outdated rooms, mold, ripped curtains and old, deteriorated furniture. Issues such as malfunctioning air conditioning, inadequate cleaning, missing blackout curtains and poorly maintained bathrooms were recurrent themes. The state of the linens, missing towels and inadequate room service were also highlighted as areas needing improvement.

Despite the beautiful scenery and the effort from friendly staff, the hotel suffers from a lack of consistent upkeep and cleanliness, which detracts from what could be a more fully enjoyable experience. Regular maintenance and a stronger emphasis on cleanliness would greatly enhance guest satisfaction.

Beds
At the Diamond Bay hotel, guest reviews paint a rather varied picture of the sleeping arrangements. A notable number of guests found the beds to be uncomfortable with several specific complaints pointing to old and hard mattresses. Some beds even had a hole in the middle and the mattresses sometimes extended beyond the bed frames, causing discomfort. Moreover, there were mentions of bedbugs and small ants, alongside frequent remarks about dirty and stained bed covers.

The sofa beds shared a similar fate, described repeatedly as very old, uncomfortable and too hard with the springs often being felt through the thin mattresses. Some visitors also pointed out that the bed condition overall was poor, mentioning both the beds' structural issues and worn-out furniture in the rooms.

On a slightly more positive note, there were mentions of comfortable beds by some guests and good night pillows. The overall comfort of the bedrooms did receive a few nods of approval, suggesting that not all experiences were unfavorable. However, these positive remarks were notably outnumbered by complaints, indicating that the hotel might need to prioritize upgrading and maintaining their bedding to enhance guest satisfaction.

Cleanliness
Diamond Bay offers guests a mixed experience when it comes to cleanliness. Some visitors lauded the hotel for its very clean rooms and facilities, highlighting that the hotel is clean, tidy and offers a tranquil and family-friendly environment. The hotel facilities, including the beach, are noted as clean and beautiful with some areas like the pool and terrace also kept tidy.

However, there are significant cleanliness issues that need to be addressed. Several reviews pointed out persistent problems with dirty tables in the restaurant, unclean bathrooms and common areas that don't meet cleanliness standards. Rooms have been described as having stained walls, dirty floors and worn-out linens that were not changed regularly. There were also reports of mold in bathrooms and poor water flow in showers.

While some praised the hotel for quick room cleaning and an excellent cleaning standard in certain areas, others expressed dissatisfaction with dirty pools, rundown facilities and inadequate maintenance. The hotel seems to struggle with consistency in its housekeeping services with common complaints about hairs found in rooms and bathrooms, dirty furniture and a lack of thorough cleaning.

The hotel’s staff received positive mentions in terms of service, indicating a degree of dedication that might not fully translate to cleanliness. Overall, while Diamond Bay offers a beautiful and serene environment, enhancing the consistency and thoroughness of its cleanliness could significantly improve guest satisfaction.

The reception team often received commendations for their politeness and kind interaction. Many guests felt that the service provided by the waiters and cleaning personnel was excellent. The general sentiment from a significant portion of reviews suggests that the staff are very friendly, helpful and amiable.

However, not all feedback was favorable. Some guests experienced unfriendliness and rudeness from certain staff members, particularly in the reception area. Issues such as inefficient service, bad attitudes and inattentiveness were highlighted by a few reviewers. Instances of poor service at the pool and restaurant, along with complaints about the cleanliness of rooms, also surfaced.

Overall, while the staff at Diamond Bay were often described as friendly and attentive, there were notable exceptions that affected some guests' experiences.

Wi-Fi
At Diamond Bay, guests can expect to encounter challenges with internet connectivity during their stay. The WiFi signal is predominantly available only in common areas like the lobby and restaurant and does not extend to the rooms or villas. Multiple reviews highlight issues such as weak or unstable internet signals and many guests were unable to access the internet from their rooms at all. Some even noted that the wireless coverage in common areas was unreliable during their visit.

For those needing consistent internet access throughout their stay, this may pose a significant inconvenience. The hotel's promise of internet access may not meet expectations, as the signal quality and availability have received consistent criticism. When planning a visit to Diamond Bay, it might be wise to prepare for limited online connectivity and adjust expectations accordingly.

Pool
Diamond Bay has received numerous reviews about its pool, highlighting both its beauty and certain shortcomings. The pool area itself, praised for its calm atmosphere and stunning sea views, features an infinity pool that guests find particularly beautiful. Families noted that the spacious pool is enjoyed by children and appreciated the luxury design and access to the nearby beach. The pool area is described as being very clean and well-maintained, contributing to its overall appeal.

However, several guests have noted that the pool water is consistently very cold, even described by some as freezing. The absence of heating for the pool water appears to be a common complaint, making it less comfortable for swimming, particularly in colder months. Another issue mentioned is the early closing time of the pool at 9 pm, which some guests found inconvenient.

Despite these drawbacks, the pool's design and the fantastic views it offers remain a significant plus. Guests also appreciated the good service from the staff around the pool area.

In summary, Diamond Bay's pool is visually stunning and provides great relaxation opportunities, especially with its serene environment and sea views. However, potential visitors should be prepared for cold water temperatures and an early closing time.

Beach
Situated in a prime location, Diamond Bay offers guests an idyllic beach experience with its clean and beautiful shoreline.

The private beach provides a serene environment, making it ideal for rest and relaxation while offering a calming effect with the sound of the waves.

Guests highly praise the cleanliness of the beach, noting it as the best beach in Mazatlán. With clear water and a clean environment, it's a perfect spot for those seeking tranquility. The access to the sea is particularly appreciated, although the sea itself can be choppy and swimming is not always recommended due to safety concerns.

The luxury of having a private beach adds to the appeal with beautiful views and stunning sunsets contributing to a relaxing atmosphere. However, some feedback suggests the need for sun loungers and shaded areas to enhance comfort and enjoyment.

Overall, the combination of a well-maintained private beach, stunning views and peaceful surroundings make Diamond Bay a top choice for a relaxing beachfront getaway.

Despite these occasional setbacks, the hotel staff are noted to be polite and friendly, helping make the stay as smooth as possible for everyone.
