"Plenty of helpful and friendly staff. The room was cleaned to a high standard and well stocked and organised. The hair dryer and steamer were high quality. The pool area is beautifully decorated. Loungers are limited and fully taken by 1130. The DJ and saxophone artists were excellent. Breakfast buffet has good selection and was fresh and good quality. Coffee machine rather than espresso machine with barista but acceptable. The Al a carte restaurant was disappointing. The service was fine but the food was very basic and Salty."

"One of the best resorts in Crete. The location and private beach are absolutely stunning. The resort offers excellent facilities, and there’s also plenty to explore in the surrounding area. This was my second stay at Daios Cove, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. I already can’t wait to go back!"

"The best part about this hotel is its setting and outdoor areas. Absolutely stunning. The beach is a sandy cove and swimming pool lovely with shallower one for children and a deeper area for adults and older children. The rooms were dated but clean, and with gorgeous views from balcony, less so from the ground floor. They are arranged in small blocks with two downstairs and two upstairs rooms per block. We had two rooms but were in different blocks despite asking to be together. Air conditioning was provided and excellent. A small kitchenette in each room with a fridge and a hob meant we could cook pasta a couple of evenings to keep costs down. We had a hire car and drove to Lidl with was 10 mins away to stock up. The onsite shop was small. Breakfast was fine- all outdoor seating which was shaded. Food laid out buffet style inside. There was ample with wasps crawling on all of the food the first few days that we were there which was off putting. I stuck to Greek yogurt for most of the week and only began braving the fruit towards the end when the wasps were more under control. We ate in the onsite restaurant a few times and it was very good, lovely atmosphere and sea view. Cost €150 for five of us including wine and cokes, so quite expensive, but they have a captive audience. All in all I would return."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. We were delighted to be upgraded to a sea-view bungalow, which was absolutely amazing. The room was spacious, beautifully presented, and the view was simply breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. The food was excellent throughout our visit, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. The only minor downsides were that the beach area was quite small and there wasn’t any evening entertainment at the hotel. However, these were only small points and did not take away from what was an exceptional holiday. We would definitely return and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with outstanding service and beautiful surroundings."
