Inn at Diamond Cove

it was very unique having to take a ferry over, shuttle by golf cart and bikes. late in season only 1 restaurant available. looking for peace and quiet- this it the place. lots to walk around and look at with the old fort there.

Beautiful property. My only complaint was due to travel, we had to take the 9pm ferry. There was not anyone there to greet us as it had said in email. Nothing like getting dropped off on an island in the dark with your children and luggage with no idea where to go. Luckily, we saw someone that pointed us in the right direction.

The island is beautiful! The stay at the hotel was okay, the staff were amazing, funny, and friendly. However a lot of items at the hotel needed repair it felt like. The hot tub jets didn’t work, but it was still nice and warm. The worst part was that the A/C in the room didn’t work it was so hot, they did offer us fans but it was terrible. We tried to keep the door open but bugs kept coming in. Again the staff were amazing, just for the price and the current conditions of the hotel it was not worth it. Once they get the A/C fixed and put some TLC into the pool area and decks of the rooms it would be worth it. They did have complementary snores and games!!

The hotel is over priced for what it is. Pool wasn’t clean and peeling paint. The rooms were nice, balcony is shared which was ok. It was beginning of the season so no one really knew who was doing what. Drinks weren’t good but I think they are struggling to get help. There is no where to buy anything outside of candy, icecream and small alcohol section. Lunch by the pool was simple but nice.

The property was beautiful, the rooms were beautiful the staff was very friendly and helpful . The trails were nice walking the beach was so very cool. The dinning wasn’t very good but they were accommodating .

Inn was overpriced ($600/night) for what you get. Limited food options and expensive based on quality. Nowhere to pick up a quick sandwich or muffin or fruit or yogurt…The food service was VERY slow ( min of 1.5 hr every time). Our breakfast was cold and overcooked. After waiting, entree never arrived and they had run out. Hot tub was broken and staff had no idea when it would be fixed. Ac was overloaded and didn’t work on arrival. Website indicates yoga on Sundays but was not accurate. Inn is inland not directly on the water.

Its sad to say because this place has so much potential but clearly under staffed. They have the desk boy working 4 jobs and there isnt a lot of communication with everyone working. The facilities are so amazing just hard that they are not all free due to the price of the room. Also, the cleaning service never came to freshen our room. It just felt like we constantly were st the front desk asking for things that typically are done at a 3 star hotel.

Beautiful conversion of an old military facility to a hotel. Great pool area. Spacious, clean, confortable room. Nature surrounds with walking trails. Food OK, but could be improved to match the remainder of the experience. Fun to ride ferry to the island.

The Inn itself is gorgeous on a lovely quiet island for some exploring. The rooms are large and well maintained, and the staff while inexperienced does their best to help and answer questions. Our room was ready when we got there early, and they let us check-in a few hours ahead which was greatly appreciated. The pool is nice (a little chilly) and the hot tub was boiling, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The beaches are nice to visit from a short walk but don't expect sandy beaches here. We walked around the island, even outside of the homeowner's association barrier and there is a nice gift shop where you can get ice cream, popsicles and some treats for ~1 a pop. Surprisingly reasonable for this island. The main issue with the island is food as one might expect, so just keep you expectations on the lower end (unlike the higher side prices) and you won't be too disappointed. The hotel restaurant is OK - the pancakes were at least good - but the two island restaurants left a lot to be desired. Would we return? I think if you are looking for a short getaway or are willing to go to portland for food, it can make an excellent relaxing trip.

This is a beautiful property. The rooms are stunning, very clean and comfy beds. This is a hotel in the woods on an island.Think “Dirty Dancing” resort with families, not a romantic, quiet retreat. First off, DO NOT RESERVE IN ADVANCE. It is hardly ever full and NO fun in the rain. You will be charged in full unless you cancel 2 weeks in advance. There are two major issues: 1. There is no information provided as to how/where/hours to do things…(like eat) other than a simple map in the lobby; and 2. They play CONSTANT banging music at the pool that echoes up onto your 2nd floor balcony. It’s incessant and mind-numbing. Want to turn on the fireplace in your room that you paid extra for? Figure it out…but…it’s a trick. THEY need to turn it in for you EVERY TIME you want to use it. Or…you can take the grate off and, as the front desk told me…try to figure it out on your own. Want food? Figure it out. No answer at the front desk or “restaurant” phone line. No info/hours/transportation info (both off site) etc. There was a line at the desk to ask questions, so we decided to walk. Guess what…no signs pointing you to where to go, and in the dark it’s a challenge. There are no signs/pamphlets and limited people available to assist you. All the staff is under the age of 25. There is also a strong scent they pump throughout which gets to be a bit much after a while. They need printed info in the rooms explaining the amenities and food, signage, and turn down the music and the scent.

Beautiful stay. Tranquil and well kept. Hidden gem. FYI: Monday and Tuesday the two other Restaurants on the island are closed but the hotel lobby bar has everything you need for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The parking in the city was difficult and expensive. The Foggs ferry to the island was good. The hotel and grounds beautifully kept. The food was not all that good for me (linguini and clams) but my wife enjoyed her dish (cod fish sandwich). Bar drinks were expensive.

Property was well kept, clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and nice. The rooms were spacious and clean and the surroundings were beautiful. Great place! Would highly recommend it!

This whole island was amazing, the staff was very easy going and friendly, didn’t even find a single hair in the room it came with pots and pans and an amazing view

Great rooms and staff and local restaurants.

Beautiful room, comfortable bed unique property!

Such an amazing property, felt like stepping into a Hallmark movie, the rooms were spacios and decorated beautifully, the staff was amzing. I wish I could have stayed there for at least a week.

Charming Inn, wonderful staff and quiet, peaceful surroundings. Our suite was amazing, very spacious, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. The AC and heating system wasn’t working for our entire stay, how we, the temperate climate and cool nights made that a non-issue, Loved every minute!

We had a great stay! And everyone was very nice! And it was Beautiful and peaceful!! The only thing I will say is if you have to leave early arrange transport to the ferry the night before because the front desk is not open early, And calling the number went straight to voice mail. Also, coffee in the morning was not easily accessible. Will definitely go back… and I will take extra keurig pods ☕️

The property was beautiful, the rooms were beautiful the staff was very friendly and helpful . The trails were nice walking the beach was so very cool. The dinning wasn’t very good but they were accommodating .

The property is beautiful and the staff is always pleasant and talkative. However, since checking out there was an extra charge added to my card of a little over $100. I reached out to the Cove and was asked to send an email providing proof. Three days passed and I called numerous times with no answer to my calls or email. During my stay I had issues where I was charged almost $600 but was told it was due to booking with a 3rd party (Expedia). While that issue was resolved before check out I was not informed of any other charges outside the resort fee for after check out.

Its sad to say because this place has so much potential but clearly under staffed. They have the desk boy working 4 jobs and there isnt a lot of communication with everyone working.

After we walked up a hill to the Inn with our kids and all our stuff, we were told “sorry” for not picking us up and then made to wait an hour (including having to feed baby in lobby) while they tried to find our reservation (while blaming us for booking through hotels.com). Once checked in, the rest of our stay was fine. Food from the restaurant at the hotel was very average - edible but would not recommend or return.

Terrible to get ahold of. Staff is not friendly.

We had an amazing stay! What a gem of an experience - all of the staff was wonderful - Antonio at the lobby cafe was so kind and friendly and Kayla at concierge always went above and beyond!!

Great staff service. Very high quality private stay. Amazing room. Also a really lovely historic tour too.

Diamond Cove is a peaceful and beautiful property. I highly recommend.

it was very unique having to take a ferry over, shuttle by golf cart and bikes. late in season only 1 restaurant available. looking for peace and quiet- this it the place. lots to walk around and look at with the old fort there.

This resort is a “Diamond “ waiting to be explored !! Wonderful and beautiful resort . I loved that you can walk to explore the surroundings and see nature in its radiance in the fall

Beautiful property. My only complaint was due to travel, we had to take the 9pm ferry. There was not anyone there to greet us as it had said in email. Nothing like getting dropped off on an island in the dark with your children and luggage with no idea where to go. Luckily, we saw someone that pointed us in the right direction.

Very misleading Thought that the hotel was near the water Pictures that were shown made you think that the hotel was near the water but it was a walk over the hill, walk to the beaches were over the hill Very secluded and very quite Hotel is centered in the middle of an old army barracks Food was very expensive and average for the price A lot of walking The ferry schedule is very limited in September unless you want to walk 15 to 20 minutes over the hill to the other Ferry stop Over priced!!

The parking in the city was difficult and expensive. The Foggs ferry to the island was good. The hotel and grounds beautifully kept. The food was not all that good for me (linguini and clams) but my wife enjoyed her dish (cod fish sandwich). Bar drinks were expensive.

Our stay at the inn was one of a kind. The location is gorgeous and we loved escaping the hustle and bustle of Portland for a relaxing evening on the island. Highly recommend!

A beautiful, quiet, oasis in the middle of Casco bay. I had the joy of staying at this property for four days. I love the ambiance, atmosphere, and the tranquility this place offers. The staff was so polite and made our stay so much better. I highly recommend!

Fabulous! Have never been to great Diamond but I’m coming back!!! Just based on an extraordinary 24 hours at the Inn. Dinner was great- and the waiter Narcis was my favorite part of the trip. A phenomenal guy!

Beautiful getaway with wife enjoy the hotel very much. The only thing that was of was the food there is on 2 restaurant in the island and the food @ the hotel was prepared by student from abroad. Not chefs and for that kind of hotel i believe there should be a chef preparing food for guests. But and amazing experience.

Amazing accommodations and the staff was first class. Would highly recommend any personal or business trip there. Cannot commend the staff nearly enough. The rooms were amazing, scenery is unreal, and the food was excellent.
