AI Summary
The hotel boasts exceptional cleanliness, outstanding service, and top-notch facilities. Guests appreciate the comfortable, well-equipped rooms and private pools. However, some may find the private beach a bit too secluded.

We stayed at Daios Cove for a week on our first family holiday with our 5-month-old son. After doing a lot of research to find the right all-inclusive option, we settled on this resort and overall had a wonderful stay. We booked through British Airways, with our package (including flights) costing around £3,800. The service throughout our stay was excellent—nothing we asked for was ever too much trouble. We were provided with a steam steriliser and a comfortable travel cot in our room, which made things much easier with a baby. The food was consistently delicious, with plenty of dining options to choose from. All room service was included which meant we could have breakfast on the terrace and a couple of dinners too. One small regret was not realising until the last day that the Ocean restaurant was available for breakfast, which would have been a lovely alternative to the buffet. The resort is generally buggy-friendly, though getting around often requires using the funicular, which can mean a bit of waiting. Possibly trickier during high season. There were a few downsides for us. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible during our stay—rain, wind, and clouds all week. April is definitely a gamble! Although the pools are advertised as heated, they weren’t that warm. We had hoped to take our son swimming indoors (as we do regularly at home), but the indoor pool was too cold for him—around 25°C. The spa pool was the perfect temperature, but unfortunately, children aren't allowed. We had paid extra for a room with a private pool, imagining peaceful nap times by the water, but sadly the pool wasn’t heated and sat in the shade, so we didn’t get to use it at all. Lastly, while our room was very spacious, it felt quite dated and basic in terms of décor—worth noting if aesthetics are important to you. All in all we had a great holiday and would consider returning again.

Stayed as a family of four in October Half Term. Whilst windy on occasion, the weather was great for this time of year. We had booked a villa with pool and on arrival received the Wellness Villa. Our jaws dropped to the floor on entry-so amazing and then in the morning with the light of day, we could not believe our views, the size of the pool we had and everything. It was just amazing. We were on the all inclusive package which was very much worth it. We would have food and drinks delivered to the villa or eat out. The food delivered was exceptional, the food in the beach restaurant was also very good. We were not fond of the choices in the first floor restaurant but that may be down to just our personal choice. I never thought I would ever be in a holiday drinking free flow Veuve all day but this was honestly the case. There was not much on offer for teenagers in terms.of activities etc but if you want a week away of quality family time, this definitely offers it!

Excellent close to Exceptional! Our stay in the waterfront villa was amazing. This was our 8th Visit to Daios Cove and it was just as magical as the 1st! It’s always great to be welcomed back by the friendly faces we know, the team are truely fantastic. Yannis, Anna, Bernie, Alexandria and George in Pangea. The two ladies in the crystal Box who remembered our drinks order every evening. The food is always exceptional and the views from wherever you are in the hotel are unreal. We’d recommend the Waterfront Villa it was the best villa we’ve stayed in to date! It’s hard to find a flaw with this hotel and somewhere me and my partner truely love to return to each year for her birthday. The reception team aren’t great but that been the same for years. But that wouldn’t ever stop us returning.

My Mum and I stayed in this hotel for a week in early July 2024 and cannot recommend this hotel enough. We booked through BA Holidays and were originally due to travel in June 2024 but had to amend our holiday for family reasons. The hotel were very kind in assisting us in changing the dates and our original type of room was available and the hotel assisted in changing our hotel reservations etc. We had the premium junior suite with private pool and the room was unbelievable. We really enjoyed our private pool and being part of the residents club was excellent with the room service being great for lunch by our private pool. I would definitely recommend the residents club if you are able to have this package, the breakfasts in ocean and Pangea were brilliant. For dinner our favourites were the beach house and ocean. The staff were so personal remembering our room number and breakfast orders every day. Although this is a large resort and we were on the highest level, the buggies and funiculars made the hotel easy to navigate. I also used the gym most mornings during our stay which was well equipped with an amazing morning view, the staff were always happy to help here to. Already looking at dates and prices to come back near year. Daios Cove thank you for the most relaxing week! ⛱️️

Amazing views, extremely high standards everywhere, but the staff where the best part. Especially Anna and Yannis in the Pangea restaurant, and Alex and all the team at the Ocean bar. They all made our stay extremely nice, and we’re looking forward to meeting them again on our next trip back.

This is our second trip having booked a double room with swim-up pool (first trip was September 2021 which we have since realised is much quieter and has less families with young children). Our first night we did have to make a noise complaint because of a rowdy family above. The hotel pulled out all the stops to not only move us the next night but as a repeat customer, they upgraded us to a suite with a larger pool. One thing to note is that there are couples who hog sunbeds in the adult pool area. As much as there are signs warning people that belongs would be removed after 20 mins, this never happened and we very often saw customers hogging beds leaving a book or sunglasses on a towel, then heading off to breakfast, returning an hour later. This needs to be more strictly policed or not permitted at all as it is not fair to those who try to find a bed as early as 9am. We really enjoyed the rib boat excursion (special thanks to Nikolaos for looking after us). Outdoor gym is amazing and BXR facilities are fantastic. Loved the boxing and stretching classes! Stretching was free. Pangea restaurant has pretty much everything you need for a buffet. One of us is coeliac however. Breakfast had great gluten free options. Dinner was a little hit and miss (one night there’d be lots of options, other nights it wasn’t so good) and some simple improvements could be made to make more dishes gluten free (eg using gluten free soy sauce as most dishes (even basic vegetables) were cooked or covered in it). But if you needed gluten free pasta cooking they did it for us. The ocean bar has a lovely wellness menu with lots of GF options and they could swap out the soy sauce on most dishes. Beach bar was poor for GF food at lunchtime. We have to give a special shout out to Anna and Yannis who looked after us at mealtimes. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so welcoming. Please tip the staff who look after you (even though they don’t expect it!). Thank you also to the restaurant manager who took care of us too. Housekeeping was also wonderful too and left me flowers most mornings. We will definitely return for our third trip. They really do look after loyal customers. But next time we’ll be back in September!

An amazing location with breathtaking views of the sea—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The gym facilities are excellent, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel welcome. The food is truly exquisite, offering a delicious variety of traditional dishes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay!

The resort is exceptional in every respect, but what really stood out to us was the quality of our experience at Ocean Restaurant. The staff are an incredibly team of people, who clearly really care about each other and the customers. They took impeccable care of us, and really made our holiday. Not to mention that the food and the ambiance were exquisite!
