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!

Fantastic place and incredible service. Lydia went above and beyond to help me on my trip in booking and planning excursions. I was by myself and so she helped me find a way to go on different trips and to find the best one for me- she was so friendly and useful and really made my stay special, so thank you Lydia! The BXR boot camp is amazing and the gym set up and program is really impressive.
All the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I put 4 for the rooms only because I felt they were slightly dated in comparison to the rest of the hotel. The food at the restaurant was also really nice and with lots of variety. Would def come again- thanks for the stay!

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.
Anna Gordon
Amazing for lots of reasons, but bring your earplugs! As one of the few guests there without babies / toddlers our junior suite was flanked by two crying babies, so definitely needed earplugs. For 5* we did expect sound proofing to be better.
Location is perfect. Restaurant food was really delicious. Buffet food never seemed warm enough and generally a bit average so we only did dinner there once.

We recently sent some of our travelers to Daios Cove and they absolutely loved their experience there! They felt catered to the entire time! One of our guests has a knee injury and staff was always there to help her get to wherever she needed to go! Food was amazing no matter where they went. The stay was very luxurious and their spa treatments were the best way to end their vacation! We cannot wait to send future travelers back to this amazing place!!
