TL;DR
Montemare is quieter, greener and more relaxed but built on cascading terraces with a shuttle to the beach; Diamond was renovated in 2026 and feels fresher but is louder due to active daytime animation and foam parties.
Montemare's grounds are greener, brighter and cozier, rooms are on average fresher, and the crowd is calmer. It was renovated in 2025.
Diamond looks fresher overall since it was renovated this year, but it's noisier — active daytime animation and foam parties — and its grounds feel more bare with less greenery.
Food quality is comparable at both resorts — guests praise dining at both Montemare and Diamond.
Montemare is built on cascading terraces with many stairs, and you need a shuttle to reach the beach — a downside for some, a pleasant walk for others (plus fewer extra pounds from climbing).
Bottom line: choose Diamond if you want a lively party atmosphere, and Montemare if you want relaxation and quiet.
