Having just come back from a week holiday at Daios Cove we could not find a fault. We loved every second of it spent there! The staff are amazing and the place is really one to make you feel superbly treated and relaxed. The creche staff are sensational and so is their babysitter services. Food is incredible!
Pool and beach are beautifully kept and service on both is impeccable.
We will be back next year!

Fantastic place and incredible service. Lydia went above and beyond to help me on my trip in booking and planning excursions. I was by myself and so she helped me find a way to go on different trips and to find the best one for me- she was so friendly and useful and really made my stay special, so thank you Lydia! The BXR boot camp is amazing and the gym set up and program is really impressive.
All the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I put 4 for the rooms only because I felt they were slightly dated in comparison to the rest of the hotel. The food at the restaurant was also really nice and with lots of variety. Would def come again- thanks for the stay!

Wonderful hotel, location and facilities. My first time with cryotherapy. Great spa and massages. Good range of food options just make sure to book early if you want to eat early.

Beautiful Daios Cove!
This is the perfect private oasis to unwind in when the pressures of the world are getting too much to deal with.
This was our second time after first visiting in the middle of the pandemic in 2020 and we loved it back then so to rediscover it exactly 3 years later with all the facilities open and with no restrictions was a dream.
Daios Cove is the best 5* we have stayed at in Europe and the first resort that I have stayed at a second time because it was that fabulous. I completely agree with the reviews about the rooms being slightly outdated, but to be perfectly honest, when you have the most amazing pool and private beach, why do you want to spend time in your room besides to sleep? I also agree that the resort should be adults only, there are minimal facilities for kids and it can be hard to unwind in the adults only pool when there’s a screaming child not too far away. The resort has a real adults only feel about it and should keep that standard to attract a sophisticated adult clientele.
Unlike last time, we upgraded to the Residents Club - best decision we ever made. €22 for a cocktails and €6 for a bottle of water does seem extremely steep so upgrading to the All Inclusive Residents Club is a complete no brainier to get the absolute best experience at Daios Cove. We were drinking Verve Cliquot and eating (the best ever) steak at 2am via room service, during the day, we were enjoying Club Sandwiches and cocktails delivered to us on the beach, by night we were drinking perfectly crafted cocktails recommended by Engie in the Crystal Box until late.
I can honestly say I have never felt more relaxed than what I have felt at this resort.
The buffet is amazing; however would have liked to have seen some more traditional Greek dishes such as Dolmades, Souvlaki, Gyros, Moussaka etc rather than food catering for European clientele. When you’re in Greece, it’s only right to take full advantage of Greek culture ;) We personally took more advantage of the Residents Club offer to dine at the A La Carte restaurant and could not recommend The Beach House restaurant more.
ALL the staff, from room service, housekeeping, reception, bar staff, waiters, literally EVERYONE were genuine and nothing but lovely and welcoming which is a huge standard to hold but Daios Cove is the best.
Maria from Guest Services and Enji from the Crystal Box bar went above and beyond to make our experience special and we cannot thank them enough.
Enji knowledge of cocktails and mixology is absolutely mind-blowing, as is her memory of our taste and preferences in order to deliver a personalised and tailored service. Even in the fanciest cocktail bars in London, we have not experienced the level of detail and expertise that Enji had put into her service and it is evident how much she cares for her job.
TOP TIPS:
- When you come to another country for a vacation, it’s extremely polite to learn some basics of their language; Good day, thank you, please, how are you etc. I strongly believe that interacting with the staff in their native language just builds a better rapport and relationship with them.
- Arrange a private transfer to/from the resort
- Download the Daios Cove app
- Tip the Daios Cove staff; they work hard and really aim to make your experience better.
- Upgrade to The Residents Club; it really does ensure you get the best experience out of your stay and prevents you from adding up the cocktails and limiting to budgets.
- The Detox juices are a great choice on the morning after a night of too much food and drink indulgence!
- The cats in the resort are extremely cute but please don’t let your children aggravate them as they are a little feisty and protective of the dinner that you may have just shared with them… :)

Amazing for lots of reasons, but bring your earplugs! As one of the few guests there without babies / toddlers our junior suite was flanked by two crying babies, so definitely needed earplugs. For 5* we did expect sound proofing to be better.
Location is perfect. Restaurant food was really delicious. Buffet food never seemed warm enough and generally a bit average so we only did dinner there once.
