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!
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!!
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.
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.

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 .
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
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 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.

Can’t wait to go back
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.
Hotel was amazing, as were the restaurants and facilities. Very quaint, yet luxurious. They weren’t fully staffed yet, but they helped us any way we asked them to. Would definitely do it again.
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!
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.
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!
We had a wonderful gathering of friends at Diamond Cove. It was delightful on all fronts! Lovely accommodations, good food, and a very helpful staff! Thanks you.
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.
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.
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 ☕️
