Diamond Deluxe Hotel & SPA

We arrived late and instead of getting a 5 course meal that we had paid for we were left a jar of mainly tomatoes & cucumber in our room, other hotels where we arrived late have provided us with a hot meal after travelling all day. We have paid extra for a swim up room which is basically most of the ground floor rooms around the main pool, we were expecting a swim up room for about 3/4 rooms which is what we have had in recent resorts, also no inflatables are allowed and as I cannot swim I usually just float in a small pool so this means I will not be going in the pool. Room is nice, resort is very clean. Only get one carton of water on arrival, this is the only resort we have been to where you have to pay for water. Overall I would not recommend this resort and am disappointed that we booked here.

Just returned from a fabulous week in this hotel. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the friendly reception staff and taken by buggy to our beautiful swim up room [502]. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, and very quiet for a good nights sleep. Breakfast was a lovely start to the days with a wide range of quality food and drinks, thank you to the lovely Megi for looking after us most mornings. We only had breakfast at the hotel as we wanted to experience traditional tavernas in Kos town but other guests informed us that evening meals were excellent. Maria at hotel reception arranged restaurant reservation for our trip to Zia, and recommended and booked car hire with a vehicle delivered directly to the hotel. All staff are friendly and helpful and can't do enough for guests. Location is a long walk from Kos town but the bus stop is directly outside the hotel and takes 10 minutes to the harbour. If you are looking for a relaxing high quality hotel, we would thoroughly recommend the Diamond Deluxe. If we could make a suggestion to management, a chest of drawers in the room and a couple of wall hooks for bathrobes would be very useful.

We have just returned from a week at the Diamond Deluxe in Lambi (Kos town). Beautiful hotel. Amazing friendly staff great food and good choice from menu. Our room was clean and practical with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Although our balcony did not get sunshine at any time of the day. Something worth checking when you book. One small point for improvement would be that the room television is small with a very limited number of channels (none English) Location of the hotel… Very close to the beach with serviced sun loungers. If like ourselves, you like to have an evening walk into town for the shops, bars, restaurants etc then this isn’t a great choice. Distance onto Kos town is 5km (3 miles) or a 50 minute brisk walk. There are no bars etc within the near vicinity which confines you to the hotel, unless you like walking or hop on the (not very frequent) bus. The hotel does have a bar but it isn’t very well used so a little quiet and rather expensive. Entertainment at the hotel is disappointing. It’s not advertised so a bit hit & miss if there is anything on at all. We only saw a solo guitarist/singer on one evening and a DJ on a couple of others. Not really what we were hoping for. Would we return to this hotel? No, for the sole reason that it’s too far from the town to walk into of an evening and the hotel entertainment was poor. I think this is easily addressed by the management by either providing better evening entertainment and informing guests of this snd/or simply provide a free shuttle into the town centre. This would be a huge asset for little effort. Apart from this, we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel.

Do you ever have that feeling when you return somewhere and think why did we leave it so long? I cannot add anything more to all the glowing 5 star reviews of this fabulous, customer focused, well run hotel with lovely staff, except we will definitely see you again very soon. Many many thanks

This hotel is amazing. People are returning year on year which says everything. The hotel staff are so friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We were upgraded upon arrival which was such a nice touch. We were given a suite and it was beautiful. Breakfast was the nicest breakfast I’ve ever had at a hotel. Waters filled up your coffee and juices and presented you with a menu (you could also help yourself to the extensive selection on offer). Discount was provided for the spa and we were given a complimentary 30 min full body massage on our last day to send us home relaxed. Such a lovely touch. All guests received this during our stay. We hired bikes from the hotel which were brought to the hotel for us within minutes. Only 5 euros for the whole day. The pool and beach staff work tirelessly to provide you with drinks and food if required. The pool was the biggest I’ve seen at a hotel of this size (only 110 rooms). The sunbeds are large and very comfy with thick cushions. The grounds are well maintained and everywhere is spotless. We didn’t eat at the hotel in the evenings but heard guests say the food was very nice. The hotel is well positioned, 3 miles from Kos Town, 1 mile from a family run taverna and supermarket and a great place to watch the sunset on the hotel’s private beach. I’d recommend beach shoes if going in the sea as there are stones on entering Transport easily obtained. Bus stop outside hotel. Flat route into Kos Town if walking or biking (designated bike / pedestrian lanes). Would be a perfect holiday if disabled as ground floor rooms and no hills / steps. Met a couple, one of whom was disabled, that had been going to the hotel for 20 years since it opened. Of note, the hotel does not look more than a couple of years old. Well done to the management and staff at this beautiful hotel. I hope to return
