Diamond Deluxe Hotel & SPA

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!

Amazing hotel!! Our room was beautiful, food and service were 5 star 🌟. Our stay was made extra special by the staff (including cleaning and maintenance teams) who went out of their way to make sure our stay was a special one. Special mention and thank you to Voda and Costas (breakfast service), afternoon bar team and Andre and Alex (evening bar) Will definitely be back 😊

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.

On our last day at The Diamond Deluxe and have to say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Rooms spacious and cleaned daily. Staff are amazing and so friendly they literally can't do enough for you. Pool are spotlessly clean and tidy always numerous sun loungers and umbrellas at any time of day, very quiet and peaceful around the pool. The private little beach is just opposite the hotel and a dip in the sea is definitely worth the walk across the road, sun beds on beach are free to hotel guests. Food at the hotel is out of this world. Not much in the way of potatoes as I'm a very fussy eater so I asked for some chips and had some wedges brought to me. Breakfast superb too and not rushed. The hotel is a way out of Kos town and there isn't much around the hotel if your looking for places to go and like walking around the shops but there is a bus that runs to Kos town although it can be late and can be very busy €2 each way. We took a trip to Bodrum market on Tuesday and the trip was well organised with a bus that picked you up from the hotel and dropped you back, if going to Bodrum market be prepared they are very very pushy and want you to buy. The lunch time menu was a bit pricey and if you fancy a walk for lunch turn left from the hotel and there is a beach bar 10 minutes down the road and very reasonable priced. The shop on site was also very expensive. This hotel exceeded our expectations and we will deffo be back again. The staff are a credit to the management here.
