Diamond Deluxe Hotel

We booked a weeks stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the hotel were incredibly generous and upgraded us to a swim up room on half board basis. ||We were in a deluxe swim up room number 302 which looking around the rooms, appeared to be one of the best in terms of terrace size and space||The hotel is simply stunning. It’s a good size not too big, lovely rooms and terraces and the swim up rooms are brilliant. ||We have been fortunate to stay at several 5 star hotels before including some within the leading hotels of the world group and this was without a doubt the best we have been to in terms of food and service. The hotel has 2 al a carte restaurants both of which serve 5 courses. We couldn’t believe that this was all included in the half board basis and everything was delicious and so well presented. Breakfast also offers a menu as well as a buffet and the eggs Benedict was the best I’ve ever had. ||As it reached 40 degrees whilst we were there we spent a lot of time in the pool which is incredibly clean and well sized. The beach across the road isn’t particularly impressive but fine for a dip on the sea and the sun beds are feee for guests. |We hired bikes from the hotel to cycle into Kos town which cost €7 per person or you can hire for the week. ||Cannot recommend the diamond delux hotel enough for anyone considering a holiday to Kos and we would like to thank the hotel so much for the upgrade and such a brilliant holiday.

Excellent hotel. The rooms are great and the pool area is amazing. Breakfast great. Pool bar very good and all the staff are fantastic. Beach is okay and the hotel is a little isolated but regular bus stops outside the hotel to Kos town We have spent a few days at Tigaki beach which is great but you have to get a taxi to get there Highly recommend the hotel to anyone.

Had a suite with private pool. Probably the best holiday we have ever had. Bit of road noise between the apartment and the sea from the main road but not awful. Not sure about the food quality at the Diamond restaurant, disappointed after eating there only once but Peruzzi was super and bar snacks were good. Pricey drinks but made up for by the excellent service and decor all round. Beautifully kept grounds etc - loved it!

My first adult only hotel experience as a single person. It is a great place to stay to rest your head alone or to come as a couple. Personelle is super nice, guests were so individualistic and barely any communication. Only issue was the beach. It is not fully sandy, if you like stones in the sea it is ok. There is service from hotel but a small bar on the beach could be more convenient for the guests.

I want to say a massive thank you to all the staff who made our stay amazing from start to finish, especially the receptionists who was always happy to help, the bar waiter legend who was constantly being called for cocktails to our room (cheers for the constant strawberry’s and chocolate). We will be back in no time! Highly recommend the swim up rooms 405,406, we had two next to each other which made the stay even better. Again, thank you!

Fantastic Hotel, we had a 2 level accommodation, lots of added extras, immaculately clean throughout. Great pool complex, Great Food and the staff are just so friendly and helpful.|Used the local electric scooters to get in and of Kos town. (taxis are a bit scarce)

We had a lovely stay here. Upgraded to a swim up room and it was delightful 😊. Lovely hotel, spotlessly clean and really friendly & attentive staff too. All in all, highly recommended and we'll definitely plan to go back again.

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!
