The hype
Guests love the massive pools and sunset views but consistently mention the 'fitness level' required to navigate the property.
Diamond Cliff Resort And Spa
$130-250/ nat
Bestil hvis You want the grand, old-school Thai resort experience with killer sunset views, but don't mind conquering a few hundred stairs (or waiting for a shuttle) to get to breakfast.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The 'Waterfall Pool' has a legitimate slide that keeps kids occupied for hours
- Kiko Japanese Restaurant is a legit local institution (one of Phuket's oldest) and surprisingly authentic
- Sunset views from the Ocean View Pool are arguably the best in North Patong
Hurtig oversigt: A hillside 'Grand Dame' that trades modern sleekness for traditional charm and a serious calf workout.
Anmeldt af @AbdulelahB9563872: I stayed here for our anniversary and it was pure magic. The sunset from the lobby blew me away, and the staff surprised us with the cutest swan towels. If you want a romantic jungle vibe near Patong without the noise, this is the spot.

Reality check
The 'ocean view' often comes with a side of road noise if you're in the lower buildings (Blocks 1 & 2).
- You enjoy a resort with a sense of history and traditional Thai architecture
- You want to be near Patong's nightlife but far enough away to actually sleep
- You love a good pool day—the two pools here cater perfectly to both families and quiet-seekers
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.7
- Housekeeping: Consistent daily service; guests frequently praise the staff for towel art and thoroughness.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless grout and tiles, though older fixtures may show wear (scratches, not dirt).
- Maintenance: The property is old, so expect some peeling paint on exterior walkways or worn wood varnish, but nothing functional is broken.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though some reports of 'older' towels that aren't super fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers; older rooms can have a faint 'vintage wood' or musty scent if AC isn't running.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is it really that many stairs?
Yes. It is built into a cliff. There are shuttles, but you will still walk.
Is the beach right there?
It's across the street. It's Kalim Beach (rockier, quieter) rather than the main sandy Patong Beach, which is a 5-10 min walk south.
Is it good for kids?
Surprisingly yes. The Waterfall Pool has a slide and splash zone that families love.
How far is Bangla Road?
About 1.5km. A 15-20 minute walk or a quick 200 THB tuk-tuk ride.
Does the room have a sea view?
Most do, but 'Sea View' categories guarantee it. Standard rooms might just see trees or other buildings.
Is the wifi good?
Reliable in rooms and lobby (free), but can be spotty in the far corners of the pool areas.
Insidertips
- ✨
The security guards will literally stop traffic for you to cross the road—wait for their signal.
- ✨
Visit the 'Fruit Shop' early in your stay to stock your mini-fridge with your free kilo of mangosteens or mangoes.
- ✨
The Waterfall Pool is shaded in the afternoon, making it the better choice if you're burnt out on sun.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'Kiko' Japanese restaurant isn't just a hotel eatery; it's one of the oldest in Phuket (since 1988) and serves legit sashimi.
💡The air conditioning in some older wings is centrally controlled or 'old school' loud—bring earplugs if you need silence.
💡There is a 'secret' path to the ocean that avoids the main lobby if you are in the lower buildings.
💡The 'Ocean View' pool is adults-leaning (no slide), while the 'Waterfall' pool is the kid zone—choose your fighter.
💡You might spot monkeys on the balconies of the highest rooms near the jungle edge.
