Daios Cove

Tobi Schmitz

Summary: Second time in Daios Cove and we were not disappointed. It is still a beautiful place with lots of things to do. Front desk: Excellent speed and when we asked for a specific room, we were moved promptly when it became available. They also organized the toy that went missing because it was caught in the sheets… Beach/Pool: It was quite packed on the peek days and yes, quite some sunbeds were occupied before breakfast. We still enjoyed it as asking for a sunbed usually worked. The dive crew offered free trials in the pool which I think is a great idea for the kids. Food: Great choices of gluten free stuff. The staff is very attentive to food allergies. The manager of the breakfast was super helpful and from the first day on, we could enjoy gluten free waffles and pancakes. Consistency with the gluten free waffles and pancakes can still be improved. Sometimes they are great - other times the kitchen used too much corn flour. It would be great to have a recipe everyone could follow. Most dishes were great, though the new interpretation of the excellent “Galaktompureko” was a big disappointment to us. Sadly, there was no way to have it the “old” way. Family: It was great that we could use the Ocean for breakfast. We did not quite understand, why there was an adult section as the whole Taverna-Restaurant is there for breakfast (adults only).

We absolutely loved our stay at Daios Cove. Beautiful resort, clean, well designed (except for the elevator system, that’s cool in concept but not logistically sound as you can’t transfer between sides easily). Amazing food. Definitely get full board as it’s easily worth it. The slow roasted lamb at the beach restaurant was honestly the best meal I had on our entire vacation. If you’re looking for an adult only resort, this is not it, but we didn’t find it to be too obtrusive to our stay. I honestly wish we would have just stayed here instead of heading to Chania after 2 nights.

The best choice we had for our first trip as a family with our one year old baby! This paradise had everything we were looking for: amazing view, options for food, family oriented options everywhere, wide bed in a spacious room, great beach, excellent staff! All the personnel was there for any help, request or just a warm smile to all of us! Special thanks to the Front office Manager, Kyrillos, who made us feel so warm welcomed and relaxed in every possible way! He transformed our trip into our most valuable memories just by making everything easy to us and our baby! We will definitely go back next year 🤩

wow wow After 5 days at the hotel, we definitely found the resort for our annual vacation. A hotel where every detail was taken care of, from the rooms, the pool, the amazing beach, the excellent food, and the small details. Oh and how did I forget the kindergarten where my daughter enjoyed the facilities. In general, there was an amazing synchronization between all the employees, because they always knew where we were from and what we needed. I would like to thank the hotel management for helping us on the last day to pass the hours until the night flight. We were with our 10-month-old baby and it's not easy, so I'm grateful for this help. We will of course return for a vacation that will recreate all the fun and endless pampering. Highly recommend

Where do I even begin?! We are still in awe of how incredible the past week spent at Daios Cove has been. So much so, within 12 hours of being home; we’ve already booked our return for June 2025! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and taken care of by each and every member of staff. Whilst being genuine and not pushy, the professionalism and kindness of each employee was incredible. Julie, Kostas and Manos from the Pangea buffet are just to name a few who made our stay so so special. Katerina from the Crystal bar kept us well hydrated every evening, she’s so lovely. The housekeeping team kept our room and the hotel in pristine conditions throughout our stay. They are a true asset to your hotel. The food selection at Daios Cove is just incredible - it’s well worth paying for all inclusive. We’ve never gone for all inclusive due to the stigma of these hotels however…The standard of the restaurants here are truly exceptional - we highly recommend the Taverna and Ocean restaurant for a modern, authentic and extremely high quality restaurant meal. The Pangea buffet is perfect for a relaxed breakfast/dinner (with an array of delicious options). It didn’t feel like one of those ‘mass’ hotels with an overwhelming amount of food. The crystal bar had incredible ambience and quality music every night - we loved DJ Manolo. It is worth mentioning the absolute beauty of the interior, exterior and surroundings of this hotel. The attention to detail of each and every aspect of Daios Cove is truly astounding. The beautiful beach and pools were also so well kept. It felt like we could have been on a private island, it was that beautiful. As an active family, the gym and wellness facilities are the best I’ve ever seen. We love running but due to the lack of access to good running routes, we were super happy to use the excellent facilities. Next time, we can’t wait to explore the Kepos spa as it looked absolutely beautiful. There is absolutely not a single negative we could think of however if we had to mention something - it would just be that we booked a room for 3x adults, and the extra bed in our room was just a tiny sofa that wasn’t very comfortable. Other than that, it didn’t bother me because everything else was just so amazing. Thank you for such a beautiful stay and we can’t wait to be back next June :) Helen, Nick & Anna Humphrey-Taylor
