This place is perfect for couples. Lovely modern decor and amenities. The swimming pool is absolutely massive and very peaceful with no young children. This hotel is a real piece of paradise in its seclusion to kos town and the hotels closer to it. The spa facilities were wonderful and both restaurants were amazing. You have to spend an evening on the restaurant on the balcony to see the gorgeous Mediterranean sunset. There’s so much more I could say, but I’m summary this place is an absolute bargain and a must stay if you are a couple or mature family visiting kos.

Unfortunately this is a negative review for the Diamond Deluxe Hotel. I feel compelled to leave this review to warn other potential guests of this risk. The hotel on the whole was great, however the experience was marred by my apple AirPods being stolen from our room. It is also disappointing that the hotel was very quick to defend its policies on “returning lost property” and inferring that they had been lost rather than stolen. The AirPods showed up on the apple “find my” app as initially being in near by Kos. Subsequently they have been identified accurately in a nearby hotel (The Atlantis) and then showed up later back in The Diamond Deluxe. This clearly shows that they are now being used by someone who works at the hotels. Tracking these over a number of weeks these showed up at the hotel on a regular basis. I shared this with the hotel who responded, but never made any commitment to resolving this. They won the battle of attrition as eventually I have given up pursuing them and this is why I have ended up writing this review.

Sadly not 5* beautiful building and pool however room shabby, jacuzzi bath wasn’t working. I don’t expect to have mould in the bathroom, stained worn furniture. Breakfast although a vast choice often lukewarm, eggs overcooked served in badly chipped crockery. Staff were miserable no conversation at breakfast. Zero atmosphere, no entertainment. Nothing at all within walking distance, overlooking a main road. Expensive holiday which didn’t match expectations.

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at the Diamond de Luxe (our 2nd visit) We completely chilled out and relaxed. Which is what we wanted to do. It is a couples hotel. No day time activities on site nor is there any evening entertainment. There is a bus service from directly outside the hotel that takes you directly into Kos town but depending on the time of day can get very busy. We took the taxi a couple of times which was readonably priced Staff all very professional and courteous and nothing too much trouble Food was excellent, with good choices We will probably return someday!

We stayed at the hotel for a week late September/early October on a bed and breakfast basis. We stayed in a superior/delux room and requested a quiet room. We were given an upstairs room with a lovely sea view (712). The bed is a round low affair but quite comfortable for my fragile back. I do like to sleep with just a sheet in warm weather but there is just a duvet so it’s all or nothing. It’s also hard to sleep with your feet sticking out the duvet on a round bed but these are just personal foibles so not a criticism. The room was very clean too. The only time we heard much noise was the night there was a live singer at the bar but I didn’t mind as he was very good and was finished by 11.00pm. My husband and I loved the breakfast buffet. There was a varied assortment including several varieties of gorgeous yoghurt and a great variety of seeds and dried/fresh fruit. The orange juice tasted so fresh too. We did not bother much with the hot buffet but there seemed to be quite a bit to chose from and also made to order items. Special mention to Theoharis for his lively, cheerful breakfast banter and to Paulos for his polite attentiveness. If you stay on bed and breakfast you need to be aware that the nearest taverna is a good 20 minute walk - Taverna Meltimia - lovely sunsets and food is good. it’s more than half an hour to walk into Lambi itself. Once there though there are plenty of restaurants to chose from and there is parking if you have a hire car. We especially enjoyed the Sunset taverna with its lovely fountain and fabulous food. We also got the bus into Kos Town a couple of times - very convenient and worth the trip. The hotel pool bar is very atmospheric at night although the prices are more than the tavernas so we saved it for a last night treat and enjoyed a cocktail each just for the ambience. The hotel beach is convenient but we did not swim as it was windy during our stay and quite a bit of seaweed was washing in. The pool is lovely and never felt overcrowded. We could always find a sun bed to relax or enjoy a quick dip. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return in the future.
