Diamond of Bodrum

Upon arrival we were met with nice, smiling, cheerful and helpful reception staff and a doorman who showed us to our rooms after a quick check in. We were shown right away where the 24hr bar was, and asked if we required any food after travelling. A late check in, so do no expect a full buffet selection, but sandwiches were tasty enough, and enjoyed by all who had them. We had 2 rooms between 5 of us, my only complaint would be the balcony, maybe been spoilt in the past, but these are more like extended sills than a balcony. When I’m on holiday a hotel room is where you bunk down, refresh and go again. The rooms are fresh and clean. House keeping visit every day. Beds are comfy enough with good heavy pillows that won’t do a disappearing act through the night. Bathroom was also clean and tidy, always had hot water for showering, possibly could do with an extraction fan in the bathrooms. Mini fridge had fizzy drinks and bottled water the first day, then just water thereafter, but again, with drinks included in the all inclusive, it didn’t bother us. Quite happy with water if needing a drink through the night. The TV worked as you expect, mostly local tv with few English channels, but again, if I wanted to watch TV, I would have stayed at home and done so there. Various WC’s throughout the hotel so you are never far away from one. Roof terrace bar, nice for drinks to watch the sun setting over a view consisting of Bodrum bay and castle, with a choice and cakes through out the day. Also couchs and tables indoor overlooking the reception for a more chilled evening. Main reception bar, 24hr drinks available with same views as roof terrace but behind a wall of glass with access to a small outdoor smoking area. Pool bar again offering drinks throughout the day, and poolside snack bar does food ice cream. Restaurant was always well kept, clean and tidy, and empty plate taken away as and when required. Plenty drinks available, tea and coffee on tap if required. Food always fresh, And always something you manage to eat from. Could possibly do with more kid friendly options, but again, that’s being picky. Cakes……. Well, you will not be disappointed. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor, but we didn’t use this one, so I cannot say any more other than it is there, with is also the beach bar facility, which can be accessed by entering a man made cave access to the hotel. This was quite cool. Facilities…….. The pool……… not huge, but fine, chilly to get into, but nice when you are in. Water always very clean. Various Spa treatment can be purchased within the hotel. Free use of the sauna (used this a few times) and also the gym. Kids can use this too, with parents present, which is good. The beach area. As mentioned, this can be accessed directly from the hotel complex by going through a cave, or by crossing the road, which I imagine will be quite busy when cruise boats are docked. Would I use the hotel again………? Yes I would.

We were much in need of some sunshine after the miserable British weather and Bodrum has delivered. The Diamond hotel has been excellent, the views were stunning, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and the food was tasty and varied, something for everyone. We were all inclusive which we made full use of. Overall highly recommended

Stayed April/May 2024. We had a Fantastic week in the Diamond, third visit and it only gets better. Views from the hotel and the location brilliant. Food and drinks plentiful for all ages and cultures, Staff and facilities fantastic, The Hotel Spa was amazing, well worth an hour away from the sun to loosen those limbs. Entertainment staff brilliant plenty of games and music on offer, always making time to say hello. Hotel Salon also perfect and professional. Bar staff really helpful when deciding on your desired drink and language barrier never an issue. Will most definitely be returning. Would highly recommend this hotel. Can’t fault it at all Smashing.

was a little worried, but no need, rooms was clean, beds on the harder side but still got a good nights sleep. Lots of choice when comes to food plenty to choose from and i'm a fussy eater. Staff so friendly and helpful always meet with a smile. Only down side, the loungers and sun umbrellas..... too many broken for the start of the season need to check them all. We enjoyed so much we booked to go again while still there
