Hotels Near Grande Anse du Diamant in Le Diamant

Keep in mind it’s a 3 star to start but for us it was great! We stayed in the adult section which gave us access to a second restaurant for supper. The room was good. The grounds are beautiful. We love the breakfast especially, the croissants. The supper buffet was OK. The other restaurant was quite good, but you have to make reservations and order your food in the morning before, the beach is spectacular. Definitely rent a car if you’re willing to drive around because there’s many beaches to see and you can easily get to the grocery store and pick up some basic necessities for very cheap eating is expensive and drinks but buying snacks and water at the grocery store helps a lot. There’s a small shop across the hotel if you don’t have a car. And you can walk down the street to a nice area with restaurants and shops. There’s also another beach further down on the left that was very nice. We visited multiple beaches around the southern part of the island and this beach is one of the best ones. It’s French speaking with many tourists from France. Bring bug spray.

This holiday resort has something for everyone, singles, couples and families. The resort comprises of a number of blocks of apartments named after the caribbean islands. Each apartment is air conditioned, has a bathroom (with shower) bedroom, with work desk, and terrace with kitchenette. It is very very clean. The apartment blocks beside the reception and pool can be noisy as there are so many activities going on in or around the pool area. The ones with the best sea views and are quiet are Trinidad and Grenades. I was in Desirade and had garden partial and sea views, it was perfect. The higher up you go the better the view. I was on the 2nd floor. No elevators. The resort has beautiful beaches on either side, so if the pool is too busy you can go there. You can hire a beach chair for 15E a week or 5e a day. There are loads of activities every day, aqua aerobics, archery, volleyball, table tennis and cardio classes. You can also walk or run the beach & forest trail along the coast. There is a water sports activity centre on site (jet skis, paddle boards etc) and a dive centre and a playground & kids clubs. There is a small shop on site where you can buy the basic’s and some clothes and souvenirs. Carrefour Express is a short walk, approx 10 minutes along the beach if you want to get supplies. St Luce is 5/10 minutes in the other direction, again a lovely coastal walk. The area is very local and quiet. St Luce is a small fishing village with some restaurants. If you wish to move and explore a little you need a car. There is a car hire desk at reception or you can hire scooters. A little more expensive than hiring elsewhere but not prohibitively so. There is a bar and three restaurants on site. One does themed buffet nights, another is privately owned and is a sit down service restaurant away from the main area and the thrived is a take-away pizza place. You can cook in your room, with hob & microwave, no oven or BBQ. Spa on site, reserve at pool area. Staff are extremely nice and patient with me a poor french speaker. Most will speak English if you ask. Once I got away from the pool which was too busy for me with families & activities and found the beaches, walks, hammocks in the garden I was very happy! Couldn’t recommend it enough.
