The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa Review

This 39-story property has been instrumental in bringing new life and new style to Hollywood Beach with its massive, 60-foot high ceilinged atrium. A signature of the resort is its 120-foot, bridged infinity pool, extending from lobby to oceanfront. Rooms are light and spacious, and patio furnishings are recyclable. A Mediterranean-inspired spa offers more than a dozen pampering treatments, including a caviar facial. The hotel's country club, across the Intracoastal Waterway, has golf and tennis facilities. Shuttle service takes you across in no time. Enjoy sushi and other Asian specialties at Aizia, or head across to the Links Restaurant and Lounge for American fare.

    The Diplomat is a luxury hotel with an attached convention center. It's big. But the pools, including an infinity pool, are great, although the pool scene can be chaotic and crowded. The hotel opens up to the beach, where we spent most of our time. The hotel restaurants are pricey, but especially good. We liked Aizia which specialized in Asian fusion. Nikki Marina had excellent seafood, but the place reeked of hip attitude. One piece of advice: When booking your reservation, find out if there is a convention going on. We were there at the same time as the Hooters Swimsuit competition, which drew decidely mixed reaction.
