Diamond Cliff Resort and Spa

Overview

Never have we ever come across a hotel with such a jam-packed activity schedule. Seriously, you can do a bit of everything here - from candle-making and tie-dying, to tennis and Muay Thai. You'll also have not one, but TWO pools to dunk into (and one of them has a waterfall and a swim-up bar...can we take a moment?!). And we know what you're thinking. All those activities are bound to be exhausting. Well, that's where the big, comfy rooms come in, with beds just waiting to be sprawled out on, and there are multiple restaurants where you can refuel - although we highly recommend the teppanyaki at the Japanese restaurant. We're still drooling.
