Comfortable stay
Pros:

My family stayed at ICONA Diamond Beach for one night and overall had a good experience. The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with a lovely beachfront location that offers nice views. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable - perfect for a family stay. The accommodations were modern and well-appointed. One minor note: the beds advertised as queen size seemed closer to full size, which was a bit snug but still manageable for our stay. In addition: breakfast is not included with the room rate, so plan accordingly. Also, while the beach location is wonderful, the hotel is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Cape May, where most of the restaurants and attractions are located. This wasn't a major issue for us, but it's worth knowing if you're planning to spend time exploring the downtown area and dining options.
