Valamar Diamant Residence

We stayed as a couple for almost two weeks at Valamar Diamant in July 2024, on a half-board basis. Overall, it was a very good experience: great check-in/check-out, nice and clean hotel grounds, good food choices for breakfast and dinner, very clean room, and comfortable beds. We had a room with a sea view (highly recommended) and a nice balcony. The only thing we overlooked was that this is primarily a family-oriented hotel with over 60% families with small children (our mistake for not checking that in advance), so be prepared for that if you’re going as a couple (dining with kids screaming and running around). Brulo Beach is close by, with sun umbrellas and two sunbeds available for less than 20 euros for the whole day. Pros: Rooms cleaned daily in the morning Good food variety (loved croissants and espresso for breakfast) Great lobby bar Friendly and professional staff Cons: None that I can think of :)

We got room (number 109) facing the facility for AIR conditioning which was extremely loud. It was annoying during the night (even with the closed door to the balcony). In addition to that the room was above the kitchen and it emitted a strong, unpleasant odor during the day. The room also did not meet the standard of a 4 star hotel! Old furniture and bathroom calling for renovation! This was my first and last stay in the Valamar Diamant Hotel and I will not recommend it to anyone as a 4 star hotel.

Clean welcoming hotel, very family and child friendly, lots of entertainment for the children all ages, staff is very prompt to requests. Food choices are really great, there is lots of variety, clean pool and all around premises. The rooms and bathrooms could do with a bit of modernisation. Coffee machines at breakfast time were really slow and lots of waiting in queues was taking place, they could do with a re-think of the whole system. It was a lovely experience altogether, the area is really nice and there are lots of things to do for all ages. Would definitely come back.
