My husband and I enjoyed our brief stay at the Westin Diplomat, and will definitely book through Priceline in the future.
Positives: I liked the amenities offered, however, wish I could have had access to free wireless Internet from my room. Otherwise, it was great.
Negatives: It was inconvenient for me (have difficulty walking) to have to go down to the lobby to access the free internet service.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Nov 2010 rated 9 out of 10.
Check in was quick. Originally allocated non-balcony room on the 9th floor. Was offered a balcony inter-coastal view for additional $20 a night which we accepted. Front desk had a complete list of room upgrades for a fee for PL winners. Restaurants horribly expensive.
Positives: Love those Westin beds!
Negatives: Location.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 20 Jul 2010 rated 10 out of 10.
The hotel has pristine rooms, some with pristine views. The service is excellent. The food and parking is extremely pricey, but at-least it's good.
Positives: Clean.
Negatives: No microwave.

Beautiful location, beach & pool wonderful, clean rooms, nice comfy beds, beautiful lobby & very good service.
Positives: I loved the beautiful location, the beach was wonderful, the pool great for kids.
Negatives: The drinks by the pool are overpriced for what you get $16 for a pina colada in a small 5-6 oz cup.

We loved it. The room was amazing and the staff were great.
Positives: Incredible room with ocean views right on the beach.
Negatives: Parking was $20 a day
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 27 Apr 2009 rated 9 out of 10.
Helpful and friendly staff made this hotel enjoyable. We requested a ocean view on an upper floor and got one. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were staying in Miami for a night in the middle of our stay and the hotel kept our giant bags until we returned the next day.
Positives: Fish taco at the pool and Kobe sliders at the marina restaurant.
Negatives: Too few waiter staff around pool decks.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 10 Mar 2009 rated 10 out of 10.
A resort that offers so much with an ocean view to boot. Three pools, several bars and restaurants and a spa along with a well equipped health club make you feel at home. We really enjoyed this hotel and look forward to returning. This marked the first time a member of the housekeeping staff actually thanked us for coming and told us to come back real soon. The friendliest staff we have ever encountered at any hotel! Job well done!
Positives: Wonderful oceanfront resort that caters to all ages and all travelers.
Negatives: Self parking fee of $18.00 for overnight guests.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Dec 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Hotel is very beautiful. Room very clean, very nice shower and jacuzzi tub. Luxurious amenities but very overpriced. A BLT sandwich was $15.00 and a cheeseburger was $16.00. So for two sandwiches with tax, gratuity and service charge it was over 50.00. That is ridiculous.
Positives: Hotel was very beautiful and had a great pool.
Negatives: Price of a cheeseburger 15.00.

Great hotel to stay with your kids or not. Beautiful pool, clean comfy rooms, stylish and practical bathroom. The beach is wonderful, the pool (s) were packed, but there was tons of seating to accommodate the crowd. My only complaint is the pricy food and drinks, but this is to be expected when staying at such a nice place.
Positives: It was a cheek contemporary hotel with extremely comfortable amenities.
Negatives: Very pricy food and beverages.

Don't be afraid of the word resort. This was the best weekend trip we've taken in Florida. The room was fantastic. Breakfast was a little pricy but the hotel was fantastic.
Positives: Great room and a great tub.
Negatives: Pool closed early.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 29 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Located next to a beautiful stretch of white sand beach, it had 2 remarkable swimming pools. We had a corner room with a spectacular view.
Positives: Beautiful Hotel, Great View!
Negatives: Nothing!

Valet parking is quite expensive. You will need to take a shuttle which runs every 30 minutes in order to go to the spa which locates in another area approx. 5 minutes drive from the hotel. Food quality at onsite restaurants are a bit disappointed. The hotel is truly comfortable in both public areas and the room itself. You can even look out to the ocean while you are sitting in the bathtub through the open window. I will definitely stay there again in the future.
Positives: Very comfortable and clean especially in all public areas.
Negatives: Staff including restaurants waitresses is not too friendly.

The Diplomat is a lovely hotel right on the beach. They were kind enough to upgrade us to a ocean view room. The only negative issue is all the extra expenses. The food is very expensive at the resort. $12.00 for oatmeal, $16.95 pancakes. I had a pkg sent to me via FedEx and for them to receive it and deliver it to my room was $15.00. They charge to use the lounge chairs & umbrella's on the beach $25.00 & $15.00. They charge for the water in your room.
Positives: Great location & friendly staff.
Negatives: Too many extra charges! Expensive Food!

Hotel rooms great, clean, grounds clean, but just unfriendly overall.
Positives: Clean, rooms nice.
Negatives: Very uptight, not a relaxed feel.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 29 Apr 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
We liked the hotel and the location with beach and pool. We called ahead to reserve a room with 2 double beds because we were traveling with an 11 and 13 yr old. When we arrived they gave us a room with 1 king size bed and we ended up having to change the room so much for calling ahead. Double beds were tiny and the room was small and cramped but clean and well decorated.
Positives: Great location with wonderful pool and beach.
Negatives: Lobby under construction and double beds and rooms were small.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 15 Apr 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
The resort is out of this world. From first class architecture, to the top notch service and hospitality provided by the staff, to the amazing restaurants, this is a first class facility all around. Excellent stay. Would recommend the resort without hesitation.
Positives: Incredible staff, amazing architecture, fantastic view from rooms, great restaurants.
Negatives: Overpriced water/mini-bar and incidental fees.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 Apr 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Overall this hotel always meets or exceeds my expectations. From the moment you are checked in and throughout my stay, the staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful and they even fulfilled a request for an ocean view balcony.
Positives: Beautiful and well maintained. Great staff.
Negatives: They nickel and dime you for everything including lounge chairs at the beach.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Apr 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
