Diamond Sands is a family friendly, privately owned accomodation in a great location. Ten minutes drive out of the craziness of Surfers Paradise, you have the serenity of being home in your own apartment and the advantage of the being at the beach, without leaving the resort! The kids loved the beach entry pool with real sand as well as... More

I regret that this reviewer can make an allegation of bed bugs at Diamond Sands without any evidence whatsoever - the bites in question are most likely midge bites. Please also refer to the bed bug allegation made at Turtle Beach Resort on exactly the same day, ie 29th January. The reviewer has provided a letter of complaint via her... More

We used the BBQ facilities for a couple of nights. Apartment was spacious. Staff were very helpful. Had a poolside ground floor apartment, and didn't find it noisy. Most... More

Gem on Mermaids beach, close convenience to Shops, restaurants, beach, city and few short KM to famous Theme Parks, Security gates at entrance, access only by auto key swipe, than hidden sandy swimming pool, great room and master bedroom, friendly manager, a invitation of always going back to same location.

Just returned from a family holiday at Diamond Sands. I have read all of the reviews and had a slight query over the place, but some of the reviews do not seem to bear much co-relation to the resort, and you wonder if it is the same resort they are reviewing or perhaps a competitor playing a nasty trick. We... More

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little worried about booking in to Diamond Sands. However, we had a very pleasant time at this resort. We arrived in the evening, after reception had closed. It was very easy to find the phone outside the office, ring the number writtten down, and then access our keys in the nearby... More

Our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was spacious and very comfortable. We had a gorgeous view from our balcony over the resort pool through the palms. It felt... More
