About the Diamond Resort Phuket
If you associate Phuket with neon lights and Bangla Road, look elsewhere. This hotel in Cherngtalay, a quiet, leafy suite resort, has never been overdeveloped like Patong. Guests staying for a week or a month usually talk about the same things: a courtyard pool surrounded by tropical plants, impeccably clean rooms, and staff who take your luggage before you've even found the reception desk.
Breakfast is a real insider tip. The pastries and bread, in particular, are praised by critics, and although the buffet isn't as extensive as in the large five-star hotels on the coast, the quality is certainly comparable. Families feel right at home here, not least thanks to the free beach shuttle, which saves them the hassle of arranging transportation every day. Couples seeking absolute peace and quiet should be aware that live music is sometimes played in the hotel restaurant, which can be heard in the rooms until around 11 pm or midnight, even though the pool closes at 9 or 10 pm. The music isn't loud, but it's definitely there.

We spent a week at the Diamond Resort Phuket and were absolutely thrilled! The staff were incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived – they immediately took our luggage and made sure we didn't have to carry anything up to our room. We were kindly upgraded to a Deluxe Suite with a pool view, which was fantastic. The room was spotlessly clean and was cleaned impeccably every day, with fresh linens and towels. We had breakfast there every morning and loved the daily changing selection. On our first evening, we ate in the restaurant as we arrived late – the food was delicious and piping hot. We also ordered room service a couple of times, which was just as good! The hotel app is super convenient – you can easily book the free shuttle bus to nearby places like the beach or Boat Avenue. The pool area is large and offers plenty of space to relax, and the atmosphere at the resort is calm and welcoming. I accidentally left a few things behind while packing quickly, and the staff immediately notified me and kept my belongings safe until I could collect them – truly excellent customer service! Overall, a wonderful stay – clean rooms, friendly staff, excellent food, and superb facilities. I highly recommend the Diamond Resort Phuket to anyone visiting the region!
I really enjoyed this hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the location was convenient, and the view was beautiful. The only downside was the somewhat inconsistent quiet hours. Live concerts are occasionally held in the hotel restaurant, and the music could be heard in our room until about 11 pm or midnight (not extremely loud, but definitely noticeable). At the same time, the pool closes around 9 or 10 pm, supposedly to allow guests some peace and quiet at night. Aside from that, I can absolutely recommend this hotel! 😊
4-star rating – Diamond Resort. I spent a month here, and to put it simply: the resort is truly beautiful. The pool area is set in a lovely courtyard, surrounded by lush greenery, tropical plants, and vibrant flowers. A wonderful place to relax. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and all the staff were consistently warm and welcoming. Even though we were staying in a private unit, we were treated with the same friendliness by everyone – from the gardeners and housekeepers to the general staff. Special praise goes to the security guard at the entrance. He was truly the highlight of my stay. Every day he greeted us with such joy and positivity – it created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day. Anyone who has stayed at this resort before will know exactly what I mean. I did try the breakfast buffet once. It was good, clean, offered a wide selection, and plenty of coffee. Nothing extraordinary, but perfectly satisfactory. Had it been truly excellent, I would certainly have returned several times, but instead, I opted to have breakfast at home or at one of the two excellent breakfast spots nearby. Now, let's move on to the area I believe has the most room for improvement: the gym and sauna. Since health and well-being are very important to me, I was looking forward to using them regularly. Unfortunately, the gym is outdated and desperately needs a renovation, new equipment, or even a move to larger premises. I eventually signed up at a gym in Bang Jo, near my Muay Thai studio. However, the sauna was the real problem. It's located in the bathroom next to the restaurant, meaning it's heavily used by guests and staff throughout the day. Especially after breakfast, the bathroom smelled strongly and unpleasantly 💩💩, which was exacerbated by the heat of the sauna. I tried leaving the door open to air it out several times, but it barely helped. Finally, I gave up on the sauna altogether. Should the gym ever be relocated or renovated, I believe that having separate saunas for men and women in a dedicated wellness area would make a significant difference. Despite these concerns, I would definitely return. Next time, however, I would only use the gym or the outdoor sauna.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
