Daios Cove

I cannot say enough about this hotel. Sadly the day we arrived I had a medical emergency. The hotel sent someone with me to the hospital, Mara was amazing- she literally held my hand and was such an amazing support translating and reassuring me. My husband then had to come to the hospital - We have a young daughter and the hotel organised a babysitter with very short notice. A staff member helped my husband pack our bags and look after our daughter while he organised everything. Sadly we had to leave the following day but they were phenomenal. I feel very lucky we were at Daios Cove when this happened. We can’t wait to go back!

Daios Cove is a beautiful resort with excellent facilities and a very high standard of service. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive throughout our stay. We really enjoyed the restaurants, the private pool, the wellness experience and the overall atmosphere of the resort. The food was consistently very good, and the quality of the facilities was top-notch. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and greatly appreciated the hospitality of the team.

Unfortunately, the room situation significantly affected our stay and should not be considered a minor inconvenience. We stayed for only three nights to celebrate our anniversary and specifically booked a premium sea-view suite with a private pool. Our first room was extremely exposed to the wind, received very little sun, and did not provide the sea-view experience we expected — the sea could not really be enjoyed from inside the room or from the bed. Because of the strong wind, we were also unable to properly use our private pool and outdoor area. As a result, we effectively lost our entire first day and could not enjoy one of the main reasons we chose this room category. We raised the issue and requested a room change. Although the staff helped us move on the second day, a significant part of that day was then disrupted by packing, waiting, moving and settling into another room. The replacement room was thankfully much less windy and allowed us to use the pool, but the view was actually worse: instead of an open sea view, the dominant view from the room was the garden and a building/block in front of us. What made this particularly disappointing was that the hotel knew in advance that this was a special anniversary trip, yet despite raising our concerns, we were not offered an upgrade or a room that genuinely addressed both issues we had highlighted: a good sea view and a usable private-pool area. On a three-night stay, losing the enjoyment of the first day and having much of the second day affected by changing rooms means that a substantial part of our stay was compromised. At this price point and for a resort of this standard, we expected the hotel to make a stronger effort to resolve the situation. Everything else about Daios Cove was excellent, but the accommodation is a major part of the experience when booking this type of premium suite. Unfortunately, this issue prevented what could have been an exceptional anniversary stay from being one.

Fabulous breakfast, anything you can think of on the menu. Room service was great too.

The hotel itself is a beautiful set-up and if you went for the all-inclusive option then you defintely get your monies-worth. The staff were really friendly - the stand out member of staff was Giannis P who was working in the Ocean restaurant at lunch time. Others worth note was Girogis, Olga and Sara at the beach, Maria in the Glass Box bar and Evi by the adult pool. The bed was very comfy and the room was spotless. The funicular was a god-send too. I do feel the ladies working on the beach should be in white or beige, you can see them melting in dark navy blue in the heat - surely from a Health & Safety / Wellbeing point of few, they should be as comfortable as possible in their uniform.

The service in most of the restaurants was so slow! The number of times our drinks weren't ordered / forgotten or so slow that we would get our food before our drinks. I ordered the beef cheek & orzo from Taverna & had to send it back - it was solid sinew & fat which made it inedible - no way I would have served that - the replacement came out and was good but it was a shame I had to complain. It's an odd concept to be on the All Inclusive package but to have an empty minibar - but you can order what you want to put in it but whenever you order drinks, it's a min of a 30 minute wait. There is a complimentary shuttle to Agios N town but then it turns out it's only on Mon, Wed & Fri & at different times, giving you only approx 3hrs there which we found restrictive - the day we wanted to go it was already fully booked. We also struggled to get reservations at the restaurants for the times we wanted - disappointing. But WORST of all is the sheer volume of children hurtling around the place - there was no place where you could escape them. Not even at the Adult Only Pool because that looks directly over the main pool which was overrun with families and crying, shouting children. This also ruined any idea of a relaxing or romantic lunch or evening meal because again, every restaurant has families at every turn. The most infuriating was that we tried to gain a bit of space by going to the Adult Only Pool but as it transpires, that applies LITERALLY to JUST the pool, not the lounger area surrounding said pool. I had a child sitting themselves down on my partners lounger when he was in the pool, balls being thrown about and all chance of a bit of peace sabotaged. SURELY for an establishment who are wanting to charge the prices that they do, they should offer some sort of sanctury to those travelling as couples or with friends. We stupidly had booked over part of half term but to not have actual Adult Only areas is poor.
