Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa
Things to know
before you go
Diamond Cliff qualifies because both Expedia and the official site show all-inclusive rates/packages, but all-inclusive is optional and offer-based.
The hillside layout is central to the experience:great views, but more stairs, slopes and shuttle dependence.
Patong nightlife is accessible, so quiet-seekers should request rooms away from road and entertainment spillover.
Hidden tips
Book a sea-view or villa category if the whole point is the cliffside view.
Use the hotel shuttle to reduce uphill walking inside the resort.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive is a special package/rate, not the default way most guests book.
The resort is built into a hillside, so mobility-sensitive travelers should request lower/easier-access rooms.
This is a good Patong compromise for views and access, not a quiet remote Thai beach resort.
Strengths from our research
Strong Patong location with quieter hillside feel.
Large rooms, suites and private-pool villas.
Excellent review volume and value signal.
Other considerations from our research
All-inclusive is not the default product.
Hillside layout may frustrate guests with mobility limits.
Beach setting is less idyllic than Phuket’s more secluded resort beaches.

Pools and the beach
Pools & waterplay
With waterslides
Expedia lists two outdoor pools and a children's pool; official page lists two outdoor pools, one with a water slide.
The beach itself
North Patong/Kalim setting gives beach access and sea views, but the resort is hillside and some beach areas are across or near the road rather than a secluded private beach.
- Caveat: Water conditions vary through the year
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
