Our second visit to Diamond Deluxe Hotel in September 2025 exceeded even our high expectations from 2023. We had previously stayed in September 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed the calm, serene atmosphere and couldn’t wait to go back.
It is located on a coastal road, about 30mins drive from the airport and 10mins drive from Kos town. It is a relatively undeveloped stretch of road, so there isn’t the usual array of shops, bars and restaurants that you might expect to find on your doorstep.
The hotel gives a “wow” factor when you first arrive. It is an impressive resort, immaculately clean, well equipped, well maintained, picturesque gardens with fruit and olive trees, and friendly staff with a “can-do” attitude. From the front desk to the servers and the bar staff, nothing was too much trouble. You can tell they take pride in their hotel and their guest experience.
Overall, we cannot rate Diamond Deluxe Hotel highly enough for a luxury, 5-star, adults-only getaway! We're already planning our third visit.

We stayed in September for our Honeymoon and had such a wonderful time we didn't want to leave! We adored the staff, they were beyond helpful and really friendly. Our room was gorgeous, clean and modern and being poolside was absolute bliss (it was so calm and the pool often empty). The breakfast choices were expansive, and while we went to Kos Town most evenings, the evening that we ate at the hotel the food was delicious and really well priced. Travelling in to Kos Town from the hotel was very easy - the lovely Paulina on reception helped us with a bus timetable (easy collection once an hour right outside the hotel) though we surprisingly we did get quite into the Hoppy scooters and used those to go town for a few evenings (great fun!). We treated ourselves to a couples massage at the spa which was the real icing on the cake - I was so relaxed my smart watch thought I was asleep. We really recommend as a place to stay and would come again in a heartbeat - thank you to all the staff for making our honeymoon so wonderful.

Our stay at the Diamond Deluxe Hotel was simply fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Everyone—from reception to housekeeping and restaurant service—was friendly, professional, and always attentive. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made the difference.
The hotel itself is beautiful, elegant, and spotless. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. The pool area and outdoor spaces were just as impressive, perfect for relaxing in a calm and stylish environment.
We also loved the restaurant: excellent food, great atmosphere, and staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience.
Overall, Diamond Deluxe Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. It combines luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. We left with wonderful memories and will definitely return!

The hotel is great, but we won't come again.
Hotel:
The hotel is clean and organized and spacious.
Rooms:
Clean and modern with nice bathrooms, but small and with thin walls. The solid plastic chairs on everyone's balcony are extremly loud when moved, even when you just sit down or get up, which is extremly annoying.
Staff:
The staff are all amazing, friendly and work really hard to give you a good time. Our greatest thanks to all of them.
Food:
The food was amazing, and a lot to choose from. Giant breakfast buffet. Dinner options changing every day: 1 soup, 3 salads, 4 starters, 4 main and 4 deserts. You can skip any course or get two starters and no main, any way you like it, the kitchen makes it possible. Also special requests for allergies or pregnancies. Only thing is they could do some "theme" evenings to spice up the food variety. Every day it's mediteranean/greek/turkish. Lunch menu has burgers/pizza/gyros, that was never for dinner.
Drinks:
The bar staff is great but the prices are ridiculous. The wine bottles are good and fair priced with about 35-40€. But all other prices are absurd. 5€ for a 3/4L bottle of water and 5€ for a coke which is not even 330mL but only 250mL.
So you either get dehydrated or bankrupt.
Pool:
Looks amazing and are gigantic. Cold with 20 celsius end of september, almost no swimming possible. The sunbed area is a bit cramped.
Entertainment:
Thankfully there is no entertainment during the day so you can relax. But 5 out of 7 nights there is music from 9 to 11 pm. And especially the DJ (3 nights per week) is extremely loud, you can hear the bass even with earplugs in while lying in bed. So you can't sleep.

We have just returned from a stay at this amazing hotel after a short break at its equally lovely sister hotel, The Diamond Boutique. This place takes your breath away when you walk through the lobby, out through the pool bar and you take in all of the vast pools! The outdoor space is really well designed and it never feels busy around the pools, which feature a mixture of Jacuzzi's, waterfalls and plenty of space for either proper swimming or bobbing around on inflatables. Room and sunbed service means that you don't even have to get up and walk anywhere for your morning coffee, afternoon cocktails or lunchtime snacks.
There is a range of fabulous accommodation, most of which faces the pool, and we were thrilled to be given a swim up room which got the sun most of the day. Outside on the terrace is a table and chairs, a sun umbrella and a double sunbed. I would thoroughly recommend getting a swim up room, it was amazing! The bedroom was spacious and immaculately clean, and the bed was huge and really comfortable.
Food and drink was of an exceptional standard. We were upgraded to half board and this involved a 5 course meal every night which was outstanding. The hotel is in quite a remote location so unless you are going to hire transport, take the bus or get taxis elsewhere you are pretty restricted in terms of choice, but we were more than happy to use the pool bar for lunch snacks. The breakfast is simply stunning and there is a huge selection, both from the buffet and waiter service, so it is entirely possible that you wouldn't need to eat again until the evening after enjoying all of the delights on offer! The cocktails also deserve a mention as they are incredibly tasty and well worth a try ( I recommend the frozen coconut mojito in particular!)
Service and cleanliness can't be faulted - nothing was too much trouble and we really did feel completely pampered and relaxed. Even our final day was lovely - we left our room at 11, spent a relaxing day by the pool and then used the showers in the spa before our taxi arrived, so we didn't feel like it was a wasted day.
Thnk you to the whole team for a simply delightful holiday!
