This was our fifth holiday stay at The Diplomat. It's the right size, nice amenities, friendly staff, and a well cared for property. Convenient to the local grocery store and other local attractions. the bathrooms are small ... but functional. We met some very interesting folks and the sea-shells abound ... steps from the front door. Not the fanciest or... More

Spent a week in a 2 bedroom/2 bth with husband, 2 teen daughters and their friends. This place had tons of room for everyone. Bathrooms a little dated but condo had everything you need. Great place for relaxation, clean and friendly. Publix grocery was south less than 1 mile and The Dolphin cafe was north had the best food and... More

There was nothing particularly wrong with our stay at the Diplomat. We were only staying there because my grandparents had a place on LBK. The rooms are ancient and most need significant updates. This is really a Motel, not a "Condominium Beach Resort". It is true that there is a pool and the location is right on the beach. Unfortunately... More

He responded to my e-mails in a timely manner and answered all of my questions. My reservation downpayment was made with the staff at the Diplomat and again I had... More

What we love about it is all the roooms face the beach and when you walk out the back door you are maybe 30 yards from the... More

If your traveling near Longboat Key, FL, it's worth the time to make a stop at the Diplomat. We stayed in a clean, comfortable unit with all the conveniences of home. Staff made us feel welcome, and other guests were friendly. For the price, this place can't be beat!! The sunsets here make others pale in comparison. Everyone comes out... More

During our recent stay at this resort we encountered roaches, dead and alive, on all but one day of our 12 day stay. When we arrived we had to pick up 4 dead ones off the floor in various places. We have small children and they spend most of their time on the floor so this was very disgusting. Every... More

This was our 11th year staying at the Diplomat and love it! Each condo is individually owned (we have stayed in many various condos) and all have been beautiful. Very clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. There is daily housekeeping and the staff are very friendly. The view of the ocean and sunsets are phenomenal. Very quiet and relaxing. We... More
