It is one of the most beautiful places we've had the great fortune to experience, and it is so beautiful that we didn't leave the resort during our entire 3-day stay. From start to finish, every detail was considered, and every need was taken care of. The team is welcoming and kind, and the location is absolutely stunning. While visiting with my partner (our kids left at home), we were keenly aware of how family-friendly the resort is, a pro for the many happy groups around us. If you plan to visit in May as we did, know the water will be fresh (!), and private pools might be too chilly to truly enjoy - though they'll still offer the perfect backdrop for some of the best photos you may ever take! We highly recommend Daios Cove.

One of a kind, excellent! This was our 4th visit over the last 7 years and the facilites, decor and food just keep getting better. The setting and interior is stunning, its luxury but also familt friendly so everyine wins. Go for the all inclusive option and you will genuinely be delighted with the variety of food options, drinks and restaurants. It's genuinely become our happy place and very hard to beat, its become the reason why we work! (We are 2 adults and 2 children under 7)

Daios Cove is a beautiful hotel, it was super clean and the staff were fabulous! It is however worth noting that it’s 20 minute drive from anywhere €40 round trip to the local town, the children’s pool is absolutely tiny, (it’s a shame they didn’t make the adults only pool the kids one to be honest) and in busy periods sunloungers by both the pool and on the private beach are impossible to obtain! The food is great we were half board and couldn’t fault it but the restaurants are expensive for lunch and drinks eg. ice lollies €6 a go and drinks in line with top London prices. There were water sports on offer paddle boards €20 an hour and the doughnut rides €30 a go per person, diving, waterskiing etc are on offer but in peak times you do have to wait a while. We would return due to the quality of the food and the staff who were faultless but would probably go as all inclusive next time around as offers better options for restaurants. It’s about an hours transfer from the nearest airport and the transfer for 5 of us was €195 each way this is included with all inclusive.

A nice huge resort
If you are looking for a huge hotel without personal attention this is a place for you. The room was large but dated. Some of the public areas also need to be updated. The food was mediocre. The beach is beautiful though there was a lot of smoking. Guests did not wear masks in public areas and some of the hotel stuff were wearing face guards but not appropriate masks. This is not a great resort for couple. It is more suitable for families.
