Best for families and activity-focused stays — large water park, multiple pools, island beach ferry and lots of on-site programming.

Best for travelers who want a Gulf-front suite and easy beach access without a large resort footprint.
When Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa wins: choose Hyatt if you want on-site water-park fun, multiple pool zones (including an adults-only pool), a full-service spa, extensive meeting/wedding venues and the option of a private island beach via the resort ferry.
When DiamondHead Beach Resort wins: pick DiamondHead if you prefer being directly on the beach in a suite with kitchenettes and private balconies, a quieter property footprint, and easy access to Fort Myers Beach attractions.
Bottom line: both work for beach-focused travelers, but Hyatt is the choice for families and guests after resort amenities and activities; DiamondHead is the simpler Gulf-front pick for travelers who want suites and immediate beach access.
