Guest Reviews
Diamond Beach Resort offers a serene and picturesque retreat situated in Ao Nam Mao, slightly removed from the bustling Ao Nang Beach. The resort boasts a beautiful setting by the sea, enveloped in calm and lush greenery, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Its proximity to Ao Nam Mao Pier is a significant advantage, providing convenient access for excursions, particularly to Railay Beach.
While the location is optimal for those seeking tranquility away from the crowds, it is somewhat remote, necessitating a moped or car to reach nearby shops and markets, which are about a 10-minute drive away. The quiet environment is free from the noise of highways, making it a lovely spot for unwinding, though conveniences like restaurants and facilities are sparse in the immediate vicinity.
Ideal for those who prefer a quiet, self-sufficient stay, the resort's geographical position offers breathtaking views and a magical experience by the sea. However, potential guests should be prepared for its remote nature and the limited maintenance of the beach area. The resort stands out for its peaceful ambiance and beautiful setting, promising a delightful stay for those looking to escape the tourist rush.
Diamond Beach Resort has received mixed reviews regarding its breakfast offerings. Guests have generally found the breakfast to be satisfactory and inexpensive with a price point of 99 Baht per person. Some visitors appreciated the variety and deliciousness of options such as pancakes, which were highlighted as a tasty and cost-effective choice. However, several guests noted the limitations in breakfast options with some expressing a desire for more variety or vegetarian selections.
A recurrent theme in the reviews is the inconsistent availability of breakfast. The on-site restaurant was often closed or only open in the mornings, leaving guests without food and drink options later in the day. Incidents of the restaurant being closed unexpectedly or lacking staff for early breakfast service were reported, which caused inconvenience for those with early plans.
Overall, while the breakfast is positively mentioned for its affordability and some flavorful items, the resort could improve by offering a wider range of options and ensuring consistent availability.
The Diamond Beach Resort poses certain challenges when it comes to dining. There is no onsite restaurant and guests often find themselves without options for evening meals and drinks, as the hotel only offers breakfast. While there are no restaurants within the hotel premises and very few options in the immediate vicinity, those willing to venture out can discover some good food just around the corner. A notable recommendation is Luna Som Tai, located a few streets away, which provides a delightful dining experience. Guests have also mentioned finding wonderful eateries on the road and on the seafront, adding a touch of local flavor to their stay. For those who prefer the convenience of dining in, dinner can be ordered and delivered to the cabins, ensuring that guests still enjoy delicious food without the hassle of finding a distant restaurant. Although the lack of an onsite dining option may be a drawback with some exploration, guests can still enjoy a satisfactory culinary experience around the area.

Many guests found the rooms to be clean, spacious and comfortable with several appreciating the peacefulness and charm of the quaint bungalows. The bungalows and wooden cottages are particularly noted for their uniqueness and size, making them a highlight for those seeking a tranquil stay.
However, some aspects of the rooms show their age with outdated furnishings and facilities. Certain guests encountered issues such as hard beds, poor bathroom drainage and less-than-ideal cleanliness in some units. Despite these drawbacks, the beachfront rooms and those with garden views provide a pleasant atmosphere.
The resort's pool receives high praise for its loveliness and sea views, contributing significantly to the overall experience. Though the private beach is not highly regarded, the resort's friendly staff and good value for money make it a viable option for travelers. Overall, Diamond Beach Resort presents a mix of charm and room for improvement, appealing to guests who prioritize cleanliness and tranquility over modern amenities.
Diamond Beach Resort offers a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of its beds. Many guests have appreciated the comfort, noting that the beds are very comfortable and quite big, providing a restful night's sleep. A few have even highlighted the presence of soft beds as a positive aspect. However, other reviewers have pointed out certain drawbacks such as hard mattresses and high, thick pillows, which appear to be a common feature in Thailand. Some guests found the bed sheet quality and mattresses to be mediocre with issues of staining and wear. Moreover, there were isolated reports of maintenance issues, such as a broken bed in one of the bungalows and cleanliness concerns like ants in the bed. Despite these mixed reviews, the resort seems to deliver on comfort for some, while others feel there is room for improvement.
Diamond Beach Resort features a picturesque setting with well-maintained facilities, including charming wooden huts and a lovely pool offering scenic views of the beach. Many guests have highlighted the spacious and comfortable rooms, noting that they are often clean and calming. However, there are notable inconsistencies in the level of cleanliness throughout the property. Some visitors have found their rooms to be very clean, while others reported issues such as dusty floors, cobwebs and musty odors. The bathrooms frequently receive comments about being neglected and instances of ants and bugs in the rooms have been mentioned. Bedsheets and bedding have occasionally been described as filthy and unsanitary. Despite its beautiful location and helpful staff, there are concerns about the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the resort, which appear to lead to varied guest experiences.
Diamond Beach Resort boasts a team of exceptionally friendly and kind staff with numerous reviews highlighting their efforts to take great care of guests. The reception staff, in particular, receive high praise for being extremely helpful and always willing to meet the needs of visitors. Many guests noted the warm, smiling faces and polite demeanor of the personnel, emphasizing the accommodating and hospitable nature of individuals like Anita, the hotel manager and SAN MA, a friendly face at the lobby.

The staff's sympathy and supportiveness contribute positively to the guest experience, even if language barriers occasionally present challenges. Despite some comments on the need for better training in guest interaction, the majority of experiences underline the team's exceptional helpfulness and responsiveness, making guests feel well cared for during their stay.
Diamond Beach Resort boasts a pool that consistently impresses guests with its spaciousness and impeccable maintenance. The pool area is lauded for its stunning, sea-facing location, offering picturesque views of the cliffs and ocean, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. Guests frequently highlight the pool's cleanliness and pleasant temperature, noting it as a major highlight of their stay. The infinity design adds an extra touch of luxury, allowing swimmers to feel seamlessly connected to the coastal landscape. Open 24 hours, the pool area remains inviting and accessible, enhancing the overall guest experience. Despite a few mentions of the pool being too warm, the majority of reviews paint a picture of a beautiful, well-kept and enjoyable swimming facility.
Diamond Beach Resort offers a picturesque backdrop but those seeking a traditional beach experience may be disappointed. The adjacent beach, often more of a rocky desert or mudflat, is predominantly unsuitable for swimming or sunbathing, largely influenced by tides that transform it into a mangrove area. Despite being labeled as a private beach, it's better described as a marsh with muddy conditions and little water. For swimming, guests need to venture a few kilometers away as the immediate beach is neither inviting nor useful for a dip in the sea. However, there is a pier next to the resort that facilitates a range of excursions, allowing guests to explore more suitable beaches and enjoy the area's natural beauty from a different perspective. The shoreline may not be the hotel's highlight, but the pool and other amenities help to counterbalance the lack of a swimmable beach.
The outdoor pool at Diamond Beach Resort is frequently praised for its spaciousness and impeccable cleanliness. Guests describe it as a beautiful and pleasant place to unwind, providing an ideal oasis for relaxation and cooling off. Many appreciate the pool's lovely setting, which offers stunning views of the sea, adding to the overall tranquility. Consistently, visitors highlight the pool's beautiful and well-maintained condition, reinforcing its reputation as a serene and inviting feature of the resort.
