Well how do I start? We first found this little gem in 2019. We loved it that much that we re booked for 2020. Unfortunately due to covid we couldn't go. We then booked for 2021,and unfortunately the Greek government wasn't letting in UK resident's until 3 days after our actual booking so we missed out again. Well this year we got back to our happy place 😁. Blue diamond is a typical Greek small family run hotel,it's basic but it's clean. It is run by Dimitri,Nikos and Clare they are all lovely people. Dimitri serves at the bar and cooks all the food, his food is delicious and reasonably priced compared with other bars around, alcohol prices are also reasonably priced compared with other bars. The pool and the area around it is absolutely beautiful, this is Nikos domain. Clare took over running the bar while we were there as Dimitri was un well for a few days, needless to say she did a awesome job 😃. You can also book a taxi from here which is really handy and the taxi driver is George who is Nikos's son an all round family business 😁.The hotel is centrally located to both beaches which are approximately 10 minutes stroll. If you just want to swim in the sea then there is a path over the road that leads to the sea where you can go and if you like fishing it is literally a 1 minute walk away. There are bars and restaurants in both directions and the first ones are literally 2 minutes away. This year it was a lot hotter than our first visit and the mosquitos were on top form. We had electric plugin repellents in the room and citronella candles on the balcony and this sorted out the little beggars. I believe a guest actually had citronella candles lit in their room 😬why anyone would use a candle instead of a 240v plugin is beyond me. With the blue diamond only having 22 rooms as 2 of the rooms are owned by family members it is a great place to make new friends around the pool as everyone tends to make the effort to say hello. We have made friends with a few of the guests and we are meeting up with them next year as we rebooked after 3 days of being there for our 2 week stay. Can't wait until next year to meet up with friends and our Greek friends. Thank you Blue diamond 💎
