Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa

This is my 6th time at this hotel and we always have a great time. If I could add any suggestions to improve the experience, it would be 100% be to improve the night time entertainment. In September when we come, the average age group is 30-60, and predominantly English, so maybe some music from 70’s, 80’s , 90’s would get it going of a night time. Maybe throw in the odd fun karaoke night. Apart from that, we love everything about this place. I would rate it a good 4/5, but the entertainment is the only thing preventing it as 5/5

For almost 20 years, we have been coming back to Cornelia Diamond, summer after summer, watching years go by while this beautiful place became part of our family’s story!

There are places you visit, and there are places that somehow become part of your life. Cornelia Diamond is one of those places.

Arriving here feels like waking up inside a dream. From the very first moment, you are surrounded by beauty, kindness and that wonderful feeling that, for a while, you can simply forget about everything else.

The reception team deserves a special mention. They are always kind, welcoming and genuinely willing to help, whether you need a taxi, recommendations for going into town, or simply some assistance during your stay. You can feel they truly care about making your holiday as beautiful and effortless as possible. Mr. Sufi has been taking care of us for years and always finds a way to make our holidays special.

The hotel itself is simply splendid. The nature surrounding it is so vast and beautiful that you can hardly take your eyes off it. Everywhere you look, there is something worth stopping for. The rooms are gorgeous, spacious and thoughtfully designed, down to the smallest details, even the way the lights come on. And then there are the views — some of them truly take your breath away.

There are plenty of swimming pools, including an indoor pool and many outdoor ones, so everyone can find their favourite corner. The beach is equally beautiful, with warm sea water and a wonderful pier stretching out into the Mediterranean.

And, somebody I love very much, the camel that comes every morning! And that pier has a magic of its own. There is a fully stocked bar right in the middle of the sea, and honestly, what could be better than sitting there with a drink, surrounded by water? Sertaç, the bartender, adds to the wonderful atmosphere and always makes being there even more enjoyable. In the evenings, my favourite Cuban musicians perform on the pier, and suddenly everybody is smiling, dancing and enjoying themselves, forgetting about everything else for a while. Those evenings are among the moments I treasure most.

The beach also has a conveniently located bar, where Ramazan always takes wonderful care of us. Food is another reason why Cornelia Diamond remains so special to us. The restaurants are exceptional and offer much more than simply a good meal. Teppanyaki is an experience in itself, with its wonderful live cooking, while Sapore has a very special place in our hearts. Hasan, one of its wonderful people, has known us for many years. He remembers what we love, welcomes us with our table prepared and still manages to surprise us. That kind of personal attention is something you simply cannot manufacture — it comes from genuinely caring about your guests.

During the day, you can have lunch right by the pool at Dome Bar, which makes everything incredibly comfortable and relaxed. Meryem is always lovely and attentive, and Hasan takes wonderful care of us there as well. Together with Hasan from Sapore, they are some of the people whose warmth makes us look forward to coming back.

The main restaurant offers an impressive variety of delicious food, together with a beautiful sea view. And the hotel's patisserie deserves a paragraph of its own: refined, beautiful and varied desserts that make it almost impossible to choose just one. I also have to mention Nur, whose kindness and attentive service are part of the wonderful hospitality we have experienced here year after year. The spa is impeccable — peaceful, spotless, just like the rest of the hotel, and with exceptional massages. Aylin is incredibly talented. After carrying back pain with me throughout an entire year, she managed to help me enormously.

There is always something to do, whether you prefer aqua gym, darts, yoga or the fitness centre. Families are beautifully looked after as well, with a children's club offering all the facilities little ones could need. National celebrations are particularly touching, filling the resort with beautiful activities and a wonderful sense of joy.

And then there are all those details that give Cornelia Diamond its soul: live piano music filling the reception area, a library for quieter moments, the gardens, the sea, the evenings and the people.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing of all is what happens after you have returned enough times: you start recognising familiar faces. Over the years, we have made very special friendships here with people who, just like us, return year after year. At some point, Cornelia Diamond stops feeling like simply a hotel you love and starts feeling like a place where a little piece of your life belongs.

Some holidays give you photographs. Some give you memories. Cornelia Diamond has given us friendships, traditions, moments of pure happiness and a place we miss before we have even left. And perhaps that is the closest you can come to waking up dreaming. We are very grateful to this place and its people!

Lovely hotel , great experience. Staff are very attentive and want to make sure you are looked after. Rooms are very big , clean and really comfortable beds. Location was great for golf. The top courses we played were all within 15 mins drive. There is loads to do when off the course , water slides , beach, pool tables, table tennis , bowling, gym .... And Eat !! All inclusive was great not just offering local alcohol. Would recommend the hotel for groups of golfers.
