We can only sing praises for this very well-run and hospitable apartment Hotel. We were here for ten days as a couple in September. And we had a great time. Treat yourself to this diamond experience.
Apartment 5 stars
Each apartment has a modern sleeping room, bathroom and kitchen plus living room. Plus a fully furnished wide balcony with ravishing view on the sea, harbor and Gigantes rock outcrop. There is a double airco.
Staff 5 stars
All the staff have professional attitude, friendly and working hard to give you a nice holiday. Cleaning of the room, towels and dishes is done every day. Really clean, everywhere.
Pool 4 stars
The 1,5 meter deep pool is about 20 metres long, also houses the bar with soft music, and is adjacent to the breakfast restaurant. The view to La Gomera, 30 kilometers away, and sometimes La Palma, over 90 kilometers, is beautiful and always changing. But beware of the slippery pool side when wet. Not many kids when we were there, luckily. The poolside beds are simple but okay.
Breakfast 5 stars
Excellent choice of tasty food in the small restaurant, most tables with view over the sea. The buffet is ranging from hearty to yoghurt and sweet. Several drinks. Lovely start of the day.
Location 5 stars
The hotel is in the best part of Los Gigantes in walking distance from the little village that has everything you need. Many restaurants, many souvenir shops and grocery stores.
Facilities 5 stars
There is a complete library and children playing corner, not used during our stay because of the after season. Also there is a free cloths washing room with washer and dryer. Soap is 1 euro. Reception very helpful with trips etc.
Parking 3 stars
Parking in the small and steep street next to the hotel is free. We always had a spot.
Additional information
Whale watching 4 stars
The small harbour is home to at least four different companies that leave for whale watching thrice a day. You can choose from a fast rib (cheapest), a semi-electric Eco boat to a motorized sailing vessel. Every morning, afternoon and evening you can see a host of small boats leave in southern direction to watch the resident short finned pilot whales. Or sometimes dolphins and turtles. If you want to see larger whales, you need to go somewhere else.
NB. If you book a rental car, do not use the smallest cars with small engines as the roads on Tenerife can be very steep for very long! The combination with airco can slow you down. The comfort of a mid-size engine is worth the extra cost.

Suitable for couples looking for a relaxing holiday.
Absolutely spotless hotel with the most amazing views. Very quiet and exclusive which could very well be because we went in late August. All the staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. Pool is very clean and temperature is well regulated. Food is good and reasonably priced, drinks and cocktails are nice however I feel the spirits are slightly overpriced.
Location is a slight issue. The hotel is okay for people who don’t plan on going outside Los Gigantes but for those who want to see Costa Adeje or Las Americas it is a one hour (bumpy) bus journey away from these places and a very pricy taxi too (found that out the hard way).
The hotel is situated at the top of a fairly steep hill and being asthmatic was a difficult task, I could see that being a major issue for people with mobility issues. Local taxis are very cheap, therefore it is quite easy to walk down to the local restaurants, bars and shops, stay there for a bit and take a taxi back up.
They have live music on Wednesdays and Fridays. Happy hour every day between 4-5. Pool beds are never an issue as there are only 30 rooms and around 40 beds, plus they are staunchly against reserving beds.
Rooms are fantastic. They have everything you need for self catering. Beds are comfortable are cleaned thoroughly every day excluding Sundays.
Overall a very clean, well run hotel with exceptional views, great staff and some minor location issues.

My husband and I just spent 3 months at Diamond Aparthotel and we enjoyed every moment. We stayed in Tenerife last year at another hotel and happened on Diamond during one of our walks. We were so happy we did. The staff from reception (shoutout to Adolfo), housekeeping, maintenance to the restaurant and bar were so helpful and pleasant. The rooms, pool and the resort itself were very clean and well maintained. The views and sunsets were spectacular. We highly recommend Diamond Aparthotel.

Lovely hotel, up the hill so be ready for a walk. Hotel has no facilities for late flights and you can only get a room on the day you leave( at a cost). This causes an anxiety which isn’t conducive to ending the holiday in a relaxing manner. Check on line before you try and get the room, they told us they only had 1 room available but were offering 4 rooms on their website.

Amazing stay with a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this! All rooms are sea view with big sizes. Bed is very comfortable. Amazing service from all staff working there.
