Inn at Diamond Cove

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe?Located at Diamond Cove on Great Diamond Island, The Inn at Diamond Cove feels tucked away. Only reachable by boat, the brand-new property is spacious and completely surrounded by nature. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?If you’re already going to go to the trouble of getting to an island, you might as well splash out for one of the bi-level luxury suites, with their high ceilings, hardwood floors, and full kitchens. Whatever you book, the beds will be outrageously comfortable, and glass-enclosed showers complement the granite-topped bathroom vanities. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Wi-Fi is free of charge. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?There are few options here, which is good, because there aren't a ton elsewhere on the island. The lobby bar and cafe serves casual fare; Cabana Bar serves poolside cocktails. If you venture off the property, Diamond’s Edge next door serves all the pastas, steaks, and baked stuffed lobster one could ever want. And the service? The guest services team is professional and well-equipped. Anything stick out about the neighborhood?Great Diamond island—at least this part—is car free, so everyone gets around on golf carts. Any other hotel features worth noting?The property has tennis courts, an indoor basketball court, a heated pool, duckpin bowling, an outdoor fire pit, a yoga studio, babysitting services, dry cleaning and laundry, and nightly turndown. It's enough that you don't need to, nor will you want to, leave. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?This is an unforgettable resort experience that's only 30 minutes by boat from Portland." - Joe Ricchio
