Our stay at Daios Cove was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to George Setekaouri and his incredible team. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, kindness, and exceptional hospitality. Every member of the team made us feel valued and cared for throughout our stay. What made our experience even more special was that, after learning we were on our honeymoon, they surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful suite. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made our honeymoon even more memorable. George’s professionalism, attention to detail, and sincere commitment to guest satisfaction are outstanding. It’s rare to experience this level of personalized service, and it truly sets Daios Cove apart. Thank you, George, and thank you to the entire team for making our honeymoon so special. We will always remember your kindness and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

I visited recently and really enjoyed it. The location is beautiful, and the bay has a lot to offer, with plenty of different activities to choose from. I especially recommend diving at the dive center right on the beach. I already have my diving certification and did my first night dive there. The diving instructors and dive guides were excellent. They explained everything perfectly and made me feel completely safe and well looked after. The equipment was in great condition, and everything had already been prepared in advance. The dive itself was fantastic, and I can highly recommend giving it a try here. Whether you are new to diving or already an experienced diver.

I had a lovely experience at Daios Cove. It is great for families, the food was excellent! I went with my husband and our daughter, it was her first holiday abroad. They have babysitting, kids club, amazing restaurants, live Djs. Honestly for us it was perfect! The private beach is amazing and so is the infinity pool that is also for families, it also have a little kids pool. We went through BA half board and it was perfect. Staff are great, the buffet chefs are amazing we loved the food and so many options. I highly recommend this hotel for families! We will certainly come back to this hotel! If you’re looking for a beautiful holiday with your family this is the one! So luxurious and beautiful!
Jorge Puente
Beautiful hotel but unfortunately terribly managed. The staff try their best but have no clue how to help guests. We saw a lost boy in the dining room and informed the staff - no response, they literally shrugged their shoulders. They close the pool at 6pm, the ideal time to enjoy it with less sun. Many of the staff don’t speak English well. Overall this is a 3 star hotel charging 5 star prices.

Daios Cove is truly an exceptional place and, without a doubt, one of those hotels you always want to come back to. The setting is absolutely stunning, the rooms are beautiful and, above all, the staff are remarkable. Throughout the resort, you can feel genuine warmth, great professionalism and constant attention to detail. What also makes Daios Cove so special is its atmosphere. It is a peaceful and deeply relaxing place where everyone can enjoy their holiday in their own way — whether travelling as a family, as a couple, with or without children. Despite the size and exceptional standards of the resort, you always feel that you have your own space. A very special thank you to the entire Beach House team, led by Nikos, as well as Arbi and Xrisa, dimitris... The service, kindness and quality of the food are outstanding, and every visit is a genuine pleasure. We would also like to thank Nikos and his team at the Taverna, as well as all the restaurant teams throughout the hotel. Breakfast deserves a special mention: it is exceptional, both in terms of quality and service, and George and his team do a remarkable job every morning. A huge thank you as well to Antonis, whose work behind the scenes and constant attention to the quality of the food and the overall dining experience can truly be felt throughout the resort. Finally, our thanks go to the wonderful reservations team, especially Dimitra, to everyone working behind the scenes in the offices, and to every single member of staff we met during our stay. Thanks also to Olivier for his kindness. The level of care, professionalism and genuine hospitality is truly remarkable. Daios Cove is not simply a luxury hotel — it is a place with a soul, made truly unique by the people who work there. Thank you to the entire Daios Cove team for making our stay so memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back!
