Daios Cove

Beautiful grounds and good food. Unfortunately, the rest is not so recommendable. On the website, they show a games room for children, but adults are not allowed to enter with them. You have to leave your child in childcare, but our daughter is too young for that. When the weather is bad, you can't even use the indoor pool and its area because it's only for a certain age group. So, there's nothing else to do but sit in the lobby all day and hope the horror ends soon. And for this, you've saved all your money and sacrificed your vacation. Yes, the food is excellent, but the conditions are not even friendly or helpful. A server even imposed their personal problems on us without being asked. Hopefully, it'll be over soon. Definitely not recommended with children.

We arrived at the hotel for five days, we bought a full board plan, the hotel is amazing in its beauty, the service is lovely, especially Nikos the manager, the food is excellent! The hotel is very clean, the pools are beautiful, the towels are clean. But I make a note that it cost us a lot of money. When we arrived, no one explained how the accommodation works. Unfortunately we had to ask every time and it ended up costing us a lot of money, hundreds of euros besides the high hotel costs. The program they sell is not explained and you only find out at the end that they charged you more money and that many other things are not included. I recommend the hotel to change the policy and be open with the customers, many staff members shared that this is the regular complaint of the customers. Hope things will be better next time.

For such an expensive hotel I expected more. Before booking I checked to ensure the hotel could meet some specific dietary needs. I was assured it was no problem and went ahead and booked. This was nothing complicated, a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, garlic or onions. When we arrived, no chefs came to speak to us about the dietary needs and what they can plan. Instead we were told to go to any restaurant they will all be able to accommodate us. Turns out that was not the case and we just got told by staff our requirements were impossible!! When we spoke to a manager in reception he asked, but then what do you eat. Says it all!! He gave a 100 euro spa voucher and felt that was enough, despite my mum not eating lunch and dinner for 2 days!! Btw we only had time to use the voucher the morning we were leaving, not that we wanted to use it. The manager pushed us hard to use it and forced a booking on to us. The spa treatments are ridiculously expensive so the only thing it covered was a 30min express facial!!! This was beyond insulting. Service is incredibly slow at time. We pre-ordered lunch for a 2 year old toddler 2.5hrs in advance. The restaurant confirmed it was fine and when we turned up with a very hungry toddler who was crying because he was hungry we were told after an additional 1hr of waiting we are busy you have to wait!! Fuming was not the word! General vegetarian food options weren't great and if you tried to customise by adding veggies it wasn't allowed. So being a vegetarian doesn't work for this hotel. Tea and coffee came very luke warm. We had to ask them to make it steaming hot, and often tea came with no milk, so you're waiting 10-15 mins for your order to arrive luke warm then wait 5-10mins more for milk to arrive. Rooms had no bathroom doors so when sharing a room with a non-partner it required some management. The wooden entrance to our room did not lock so if we forgot to lock the porch or main door someone can gain entry easily into the room. Location wise you are far from tourist sites and no tour operators we contacted could come to pick us up, instead we had to meet at a specified location. So if you are happy to eat (as long as you dont have dietary needs) and stay at the hotel during your whole stay then it will work, if not, plan to spend more money getting taxi's or hiring a car. They have 1 outside lift (funicular) to take you to all floors. One. We often had to wait quite some time for the lift and this wasn't even their busiest time so I can imagine how much of a headache that can become later in the season. There are better hotels, better located, with much better service on the island. Go there. I wouldn't book here again.

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!

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.
