Review of Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa - SHA Extra Plus 5*

After our trip through Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, we stopped in Phuket for some much needed rest and relaxation. We were so excited to stay at Diamond Cliff Resort and Spa and it definitely lived up to our expectations. The resort is huge and very hilly so you will definitely get a workout going to and from your room and to the fitness center and pools. However, the hotel does provide golf carts if needed. Customer service from the moment we arrived was wonderful. We loved the complimentary fruit coupon which allows you to go to the fruit shop and select up to 5lbs of your choice of fruit — — what a nice touch! We booked a room with two full beds which was gorgeous — — we were so happy that the beds came with mosquito nets and loved the furniture style. We had balcony which was perfect for enjoying the cool evening breeze. If you are facing the ocean, the resort is at the farthest right end of Patong Beach and a bit of a trek to the main area. However, you can easily catch a taxi or rickshaw from the stand in front of the hotel. The main road is a bit dangerous to cross so we were thankful that the hotel provides a crossing guard to assist guests. Though the beach area is small and not the best (you will have to cross the road) you can easily walk 10-15 minutes farther down the beach and find a nicer spot. If you don't mind tanning poolside, there are two main pools at Diamond Cliff. I recommend avoiding the children's pool and heading towards the other pool next to the restaurant. If you are looking for activities at the hotel, there is a mini-golf course which is pretty awesome. Overall, we really enjoyed our 3 day stay here and would definitely return again!
