Hotel Assets And Experiences

The atmosphere in Diamond Resort is fabulous. The gorgeous tropical pool which is surrounded by palm trees and which is 50 meters in length, one of the longest pools on the island, is exactly what you look for if you aim at spending quality time in a lush resort. Floating on the oversized bean bags, makes you forget daily realities on the spot. Service in the resort is impeccable and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Extra touch of service is that the Belgian owner and his Thai wife spend most of their time in the resort and personally make sure that guests get the experience they were hoping for when they booked a stay in Diamond Resort Phuket. Around the pool or on the terrace of Infuse Restaurant, the vibe is great, and it is hard to convince yourself to go out. Of course, Phuket is wonderful and with the free shuttles that the resort is providing, in no time you are at Bangtao Beach, Catch Beach Club or downtown at Boat Avenue. And after an energizing day at the pool or at the beach, it is great to relax in the comfortable and perfectly equipped suites of the resort.

The signature restaurant of Diamond Resort Phuket, is Infuse Restaurant. With an Executive Chef from Belgium, you can expect several traditional Belgian dishes such as Beef Stew on the menu. But the food offering is not limited to Belgian specialties. Also other classic European dishes can be found. And of course, being situated in Thailand, local Thai favorites are featured and should not be missed. Regularly, the chef is also organizing buffets, often accompanied by life music.

The restaurant is open daily from early in the morning till late at night and caters for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is available daily from 7 am till 10.30 am and is in buffet style.
