This property is overrated. Booked it and paid premium rates coz it says Penguin Show included, however all it offers was a platform behind some bushes to view. Can’t even see the penguins coming to shore, and eventually only see 2 penguins. Very disappointing.

Great Resort in Awesome Location
This place was amazing. The views, walkability, location, staff and restaurant all deserve 5 stars! We were there for 5 nights and wish we had stayed longer. We did the complimentary penguin show twice during our stay and saw many other animals besides the penguins. The only minor thing is that we wish the kitchen had been better equipped. There was only a frying pan, a small and medium pot (no large pot, mixing bowls, or colander for pasta). Other than that we would highly recommend Diamond Island Resort.
