Property amenities

Designed as a mountain retreat in a tropical setting, the architecture of Diamond Resort is eye-catching and spirit-lifting. The lobby building resembles a magnificent, wood-and-stone chalet with a focal point of a soaring, cone-shaped roof covered in jade-green Chinese tiles and supported by massive coral pillars. In the spacious, tastefully furnished interior rotunda formed by the roof, guests look up at a beamed-wood cone squared off and skylighted at the top, a space inspired by the inside of a Japanese umbrella. Brightening the main building are large, brightly colored, wall-mounted rugs woven in the styles of Spanish painters Joan Miro, Picasso, and Isabella.
Other notable features include: the spacious, fully equipped fitness center offering expert personal training; a library of Japanese and English books; numerous sculptures, vases, and other art objects throughout the buildings and property; the large swimming pool where guests, after donning swimming suits, can take a plunge following indulgence in the baths; and the mountain stream, which begins outside the main building, tumbles over waterfalls, passes under bridges half concealed by lush tropical plantings, and flows through koi ponds while coursing down the resort's property and deepening the silence around it. The stream terminates in a large, lagoon-like koi-and-lily-pad pond, where guests' children enjoy feeding the fish.

Rooms

This Japanese-style mountain retreat offers 72 deluxe rooms in 18 four-unit buildings, with expansive views of grounds, gardens, mountain streams, or the ocean from lanais. Multicolored bedspreads add a cheery accent to deliberately monochromatic decor in each one-bedroom unit. The thick carpets, high ceilings, walls, and furniture harmonize in soothing shades of cream, gray, and palest green. For fresh-air privacy, louvered wood screens can be unfolded between living/dining rooms and lanais instead of, or in addition to, sliding screen and glass doors. Windows also have louvered wood screens. Sliding wooden doors separate bedrooms and living/dining areas.
