Michelin Guide
A true five-star hotel with nothing to complain about, except for its remote location. Many hotels claim to be five-star but barely reach four at their peak. This one truly delivers luxury, with exceptional rooms, outstanding staff, and food and drinks that exceed expectations. The only drawback is the location. The nearest large town is about a 30-minute drive, and having a car is essential since there is nothing nearby. For a relaxing, stress-free vacation, this might be the perfect choice. The beach is beautiful, the dining options are excellent, and everything within the hotel meets the highest standards. Those who prefer walking to a bar or taverna may find this inconvenient. Even with the remote setting, which was not an issue in my case, everything else was flawless.

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).

Daios Cove is a fascinating resort with a unique pricing structure that may take some getting used to. For those on a half-board plan, it’s not immediately clear which restaurants are included. If you want to try a different dining option, like the Pangea buffet, you can expect a discount. There are also multiple breakfast options available, and if you opt for an all-inclusive package with a suite, all dining venues are accessible. However, the prices can be quite steep, with items like beef tartare on toast costing €32, a Daios Cove croque at €28, and a beef burger also at €28. The private bay and infinity pool are truly beautiful, though the distances to rooms and villas can be long. Thankfully, golf carts are available to help. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and the staff is generally friendly. However, it is quite peculiar that the pool closes strictly at 6 PM, with staff even going so far as to remove swimwear left under umbrellas and ask guests to leave the area. There is also a somewhat rigid policy regarding the sunbeds: each one has a sign informing guests that if a sunbed is occupied but not in use for 20 minutes, the staff will clear it, and belongings can be retrieved from a locker. Despite these quirks, Daios Cove offers a high standard of service and a beautiful setting, making it a memorable place to stay.

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 🤩
