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!

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.

We had the most incredible honeymoon at Daios Cove in early May. The staff went above and beyond to make us happy and welcomed during our stay. Food/Drinks were absolutely amazing and very luxurious. One thing to note is the amount of children at the resort, which can be very loud and disturbing when you're trying to relax. The hotel however, has adult only sections in some restaurants but still it's notable to mention. If you are looking for an adult-only experience, this won't be the hotel for you. We managed to have a relaxing time as traveling in low season meant there was less people there. The pool and beach were very well maintained and clean. The staff were very welcoming and made us comfortable. We recommend having drinks by the water as it's a very relaxing experience. We visited the gift shops a few times, items were overpriced but they were fun to look at. We visited the gym during our visit and were very happy and satisfied with the number of machines, workout equipment, outdoor area, facilities and items for sale. The staff were very nice and answered all questions for us. We did not visit the spa as the treatments were rather expensive, but heard from other guests that it was awesome. Thank you Daios Cove for making our honeymoon a beautiful trip to remember forever. We can't wait to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Daios Cove and can highly recommend this beautiful resort. What stood out the most was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Every team member we met greeted us with a genuine smile and positive energy, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made us feel valued and cared for from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is exceptionally well maintained. Everything is spotless, clean, and beautifully presented. The facilities, rooms, and common areas are kept in excellent condition, reflecting the high standards of the resort. The combination of outstanding service, positive vibes, and the immaculate surroundings made our vacation truly memorable. We left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to returning next year! Thank you to the entire Daios Cove team for making our stay so special!
