Diamond Deluxe Hotel - Adults Only

Having read other recent reviews I would agree with what’s been said already. I must say all the people working there are so friendly and do an excellent job. The only real point I”d like to make is regarding the private pool rooms which we had. It’s a case of deciding whether privacy or peace and quiet is your priority. Yes it was lovely and private but boy oh boy was the traffic noise loud and disturbing. The busy road is literally at the end of the patio shielded only by a hedge. You can’t hear the noise too badly inside and it did not disturb our sleep, but using the pool and patio area is spoilt by the constant traffic, cars, delivery trucks, buses and those awful mopeds and buggies. Particularly bad around mid to late afternoon when we usually gave up sitting outside. Nothing the hotel can do about it but if I had known I would have booked a swim up room which always looked so peaceful as we passed them. Just wanted to give other potential customers a heads up which sadly we were not privy to.

Lovely hotel staff friendly and accommodating food good breakfast lovely good choice in the buffet and can order a la carte too special mention to Vodha and Costas who made breakfast enjoyable and a lovely start to our day would definitely return

We had an incredibly wonderful holiday at Hotel Diamond Deluxe. The hotel is nicely decorated, the food for all meals at the restaurants were very good and delicious, and there was a lot of variety to choose from. The rooms were large and really cozy with everything you needed. We had massage one day and it was a very nice experience – we can really recommend trying it! The service everywhere was very welcoming, and service minded (Thank you Chrisa). The pool area was so good. Large, lovely pools, enough sunbeds for everyone and a calm atmosphere. There was a DJ playing good music in the evening at the pool bar, but this did not create noise in the room when going to bed. In general, it was very quiet at the hotel, and we were very happy about that. The prices were completely fair, and you got value for money. We can only give our very best recommendations!

Absolutely fantastic hotel. Amazing accommodation, spotlessly clean. Food amazing. Nice pool and nearby beach access. Staff all extremely helpful and polite. Best hotel we’ve every stayed in

11 night stay in a swim up room at the end of June/beginning of July. This is a beautiful, very quiet property which is perfect for a relaxing holiday. It is not so much a hotel as a complex of various apartments around a focal point of the enormous pool. The result is a sunbather's paradise with an abundance of (very comfortable) sunbeds and ample space poolside. No early-morning dash to secure beds here - turn up at any time of the day and you'll have plenty to choose from. We opted for the swim up room and it was worth every penny. The room itself was a decent size, nicely appointed with a two-seater sofa, good aircon, plenty of hanging space and a very good walk-in shower. There's a pod-style coffee machine but no kettle (lovely lady on reception arranged one for us), very little drawer space (3 small drawers) and we had a round bed, which we weren't keen on but that's obviously personal preference. The crowning glory, though, is the room's poolside location. Each swim-up comes with a terrace and direct access to your own double sunbed. Two yards to the pool edge and maybe five yards to your room. Bliss. The staff are excellent but particular mention to Despina, Markos and Alex at the bar, Tasos in Peruzzi and Christa in Emerald restaurant. You are all a credit to your profession and to the hotel. So why no fifth star? Well I can't give it 4.5 stars and there were a couple of things that we felt just left a bit of a sour taste. First, the hotel is a bit isolated, which is not a problem in itself; indeed it means it's quiet and has a secluded feel. But it does mean you're a captive audience and the prices for food and drink reflect this. Whilst the food is excellent, if your main course at dinner starts at 26 Euros, your bill's going to rack up quickly if you want a starter/dessert and anything at all to drink. Similarly, at the pool bar/restaurant which serves food between 12 noon and 6pm, two burgers and two bottles of local beer is going to set you back 48 Euros. They're amazing burgers. But value? I'm not so sure. Then there's the late checkout issue. Our return flight was 10.55pm, so pick up from the hotel around 8pm. Room checkout is 11am. It's a smaller hotel and apparently all the swim up rooms were required for new guests (fair enough) so we were offered a 'deal' to pack everything up and move to another room until 5 o'clock for 90 Euros. And despite enquiring as to late checkout shortly after our arrival, the hotel was unable to advise us whether this option was even available until the evening before departure. Those things aside, we had a wonderful stay. Kos is beautiful and the people very welcoming - hire a car and go see it if you can. Kos Town has some lovely bars and restaurants and, as others have said, the bus stops right outside, is 2 Euros and is never more than 10 minutes late!
