We choose Diamante because of the luxury bus experience. This one was below standards. Refreshments were limited to 2 choices, coffee machine in lobby was broken, chairs on bus noisily rattled and leg recliner was broken. Guests on bus were loud and obnoxious, lifting feet onto my chair which resulted in my head being kicked twice before I smacked their feet off. I know that Diamante had no control over this, but it would have been not as hard if my chair wasn't broken and could at least have rested on the trip.
Users have shared positive experiences with the service, highlighting excellent punctuality and professionalism. The staff in Mexico City were praised for their helpfulness, making the boarding process smooth. However, some reviews mentioned challenges during boarding and issues related to traveling with service animals. Despite these minor concerns, many users expressed satisfaction overall.

Boarding was chaotic and took a very long time, so the bus ran more than half an hour late. The journey itself was ok I suppose.

Maybe the arrival time to Acapulco was listed wrong. I don’t know if it was really late. Everything else was fine; except traveling with my service animals was difficult. I’ll know what to do next time.
