Introduced to Wildwood Crest in 2016, ICONA Diamond Beach is a classic beach resort at the Jersey Shore. The luxurious beach resort is situated on a private stretch of sand and surf, with beach umbrellas and loungers available for guests to enjoy (fee). And while the beach is the star attraction, there are plenty of other diversions at the resort, such as an outdoor swimming pool and separate splash pool for kids; a sundeck with lounge chairs and umbrellas; a restaurant called Coastal Blue Oceanside Bar & Grill, and Bungalow No. 7, a beach bar that’s open May to October. Other perks include complimentary Wi-Fi, free self-parking (or valet for a fee), an onsite market selling snacks and beverages, and a guest laundry facility.
The hotel offers a total of nine room variations, with the largest one (the Premium Queen Suite) sleeping up to six people (12 if it’s connected to another studio suite). All guestrooms are equipped with mini-fridges or galley kitchens with microwaves, mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, stove-tops and dishwashers, plus cookware, plates and utensils. Most rooms have showers with built-in tubs, too—a plus for families traveling with little ones. ADA rooms with roll-in showers are available, as well.
The ICONA Diamond Beach has two sister resorts on the Jersey Shore: ICONA Avalon and ICONA Cape May.
