Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villas, Crete

Wonderful stay at Daios Cove. Beautiful resort, excellent staff in all facilities, and the food and restaurant quality was a real highlight for us. We are already looking at booking again, can't wait to go back!

Beautiful location, great staff, delicious food, private beach, very quiet room. The spa services were fabulous and yoga class overlooking the sea was incredible.

Water never got warm or hot in shower. Just be aware it is a lot of children

The property is modern and all the facilities worked well. Our room was very comfortable. In Pangea Restaurant the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The fresh food there was generally very good but some of the hot buffet meals were overcooked and meats dried and toughened. However it was usually possible to find something reasonable to eat. We generally took lunch at Ocean and had great service and enjoyable meals.

The site is a little isolated and might suit those who have hired cars best. There is limited space around the Pool and on the Beach so one ends up sunbathing in very close proximity with others and it was not always possible to find a lounger in the sun.

Luxurious, beautifully designed resort in a wonderful natural setting Large, comfortable high-spec rooms/suites (many with individual pools) Residents’ Club all-inclusive program is top-notch (with high quality food and drinks all included in the price) Excellent pool, beach and spa facilities

Getting around the property (i.e. to and from your room to the restaurants/beach/pool/spa) is not very efficient and requires either a buggy (which needs to be ordered in advance) or 1 or 2 slow funicular rides. There should be more buggies made available on very short notice, especially during busy periods.

Everything ! The location, structure , super friendly stuff, super thanks to Experience Manager Giorgi. The food is delicious , so far best spot in Greece I have been To !

Everything. The whole place was amazing. The staff were exceptional, friendly and courteous. The facilities are on a next level. The Wellness Centre is offers many services for health and well being.

Amazing place, amazing beach, beautiful.

Amazing resort

Room cleaning and not enough seating at pool and beach.

Food was good overall but could be better

Great hotel, beach with crystal clear water.

Bit overpriced, plus guests are asked for tips every-time you order something (this should be all priced in your booking as you are on holiday).

Everything was great about Daios Cove! Its nature &rooms& foods, sea all was great. And the service of the staff was excellent! Especially the ones in the restaurant( we had breakfast & dinner as halfboard) was super friendly, nice, and keep you feel like you’re a guest in their home. Thanks!

nothing

Great place. the staff is very welcoming. warm and lovely. the food was great and the vacation was superb.

Drinks and food extremely expensive for the quality. Wine and cocktails were mediocre but very expensive. Food was average and again expensive.

The place is very clean and well-maintained

The food has a huge variety, but at a medium level. Vegetarians don't have a great variety of options. The prices of each supplement are very! high.

It was our honeymoon, the staff greeted us perfectly. They were so nice, we asked for a room close to the pool and we got it and also we got a bubbly wine and fruits upon arrival. The room was amazing and the view breathtaking.

The whole time of our vacation, it was very windy which made seating by the pool annoying and seating in the beach almost impossible.. Now of corse the hotel is not responsible for the weather but i think the hotel is built in a narrow area between 2 mountains which makes even small air breeze into an annoying wind. The prices of cocktails in the pool area match the prices of cocktails in center Manhattan rather then reasonable prices for Crete

Everything - the location, food, staff, facilities and accommodation - all excellent

Couldn’t open the wardrobe door in the second bedroom as a bedside cabinet blocked it. It was a small thing but meant the wardrobe couldn’t be accessed.

Amazing!!!!

Hard to get around

Facilities wee excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful. Very relaxing experience which was exactly what we were after.

The billing system is quite confusing.

The atmosphere and the stuff

Everything, facilities, staff… everything! It’s an experience you’ll never forget!

Nice place calm and relaxed. The cove is private and for that reason wasn't crowded. The staff was amicable and helpful. The breakfast is a big one with a lot of choices.

The wifi was not so good in all the places inside the room and also outside of it. The wind unfortunately when we stayed there was blowing a lot and we couldn't enjoy the sea.

Beautiful and comfortable Nice pool and beach

Food was medium level, Nice breakfast but dinner wasn't that good. Extra services are very expensive ( 60 min massage costs 190 euro) No entertainment in the evenings

The place is beautiful. specially the private villas. The beach is nice and clean and it is great that you can order food and drinks to the beach bed. The restaurants are very nice. The staff and the service was also very good.

We were few days in the Villa and few days in a normal room. although quite expensive, the resort is great if you take one of the all inclusive options (the villa for example). The service is great and you can eat in one of the restaurants on every meal. If you take the normal rooms, the food in the hotel's main restaurant is not good and for every extra you pay a lot. The rooms are good in both options, but if you take the normal room, I would suggest to eat outside the resort.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING

NOTHING

Delicious food even in room service, very friendly staff, great overall service and attention to guests’ needs.

Nothing really.

everything!

Food was excellent

Sometimes couldn’t get a Sunbed

The staff at this hotel are the most loveliest people and that's what really made my stay so enjoyable. Yes the hotel and location is beautiful, but the people - both other visitors and staff were so lovely and amazing. A rare thing for me to say as a solo traveller.

The excursions are unfortunately mostly created with couples or non-solo travellers in mind. So I couldn't even sign up to most of them, I could only choose from about 3, which meant I was mostly stranded at the hotel or in the nearby town. Bear this in mind if you're staying for longer than 4/5 days as it can get quite boring. The beach is a very small strip also, that was a little disappointing too but the nearby town is great so definitely walk there or get a taxi.

It was very clean and very pleasant. The staff was nice and polite. Everything was great!

There are complaints about the breakfast. For such a hotel, the breakfast was, let's say, not up to the standard.

Luxurious resort with wonderful private beach and food, staff except for one person very polite

The front desk lady at the breakfast/ dinner (I think her name was Anna, short hair and butterfly tattoo on arm) was very rude and treated us like second class people. Whenever we arrived she advised us that we could not sit at the table we liked, forced us to wait and then redirected us to the noisiest corner in the last room - I travel regularly for work to similar hotels and have never encountered this behavior, unacceptable and a real pity because it significantly ruined our experience

Emplacement, confort, buffets excellents.

The views are out of this world The pool and beach are gorgeous The room was super nice Food was incredible, high quality (We were all inclusive)

Tennis court was far Every time wait for a golf cart to take you Or take the upper fenicular also very long wait Sport activities were quite expensive

The staff is great and the place is beautiful

Service was excellent. Facilities and views incredible. The resort is an amazing feat of engineering.

Did not expect the enormous amount of children in mid October. Beach level should have had bathroom facilities.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Staff was super friendly, food was excellent and the cove is perfect for swimming, even for the little ones!

Amazing hotel with the best food and fantastic facilities.

The beach would benefit from the split between the adults only and families zone.

The staff were really friendly and the hotel quality was superb.

All lovely

As part of our honeymoon trip, we intended to know Crete and chose Daios Cove for our stay. But the resort is so good that we didn’t got out of it. The room is spacious, modern and cosi. The pool and beach area and the views are wonderful. The restaurants are excellent, specially the Ocean, where we brightly closed our last night. Do recommend. Finally, the staff is impeccable.

Wonderful picturesque location Very friendly and helpful staff Good tennis court Spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet room Great choice of food at both breakfast and dinner in Pangea restaurant. Useful car hire desk in lobby

Sometimes the buffet food was a little lukewarm. Sun bed cushions rather grubby and beach towels tatty but clean. Not much to do in the immediate vicinity, car hire needed Very expensive drinks

Everything Best value for money!

I liked everything

everything

Loved the entire set up, decor, facilities, staff. Was a beautiful, scenic place. Panos in charge of all restaurants who did the cookery class was amazing as were all the buggy drivers and reception staff and restaurant staff too. very clean and spa and gym were incredible

Tissues inc toilet paper were rough. Maybe because recycled but scratchy to use

Modern, well equipped rooms with great view and impeccably maintained. Staff were attentive and friendly. The gym was fantastic.

It felt very busy, especially at breakfast, dinner and on the beach. On one day of our stay the beach was very dirty but the staff did work to clean it. The kids club was fine for our 5 year old but our boys aged 10 and 8 would have liked a playground and a table football table.

The property is nested amongst a cove with its own private beach. The facilities and restaurants are amazing and the views are breathtaking. The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond. I think they far exceeded my expectations.

Great food and location. The beach is wonderful.

It was a very wind at times. There could be better activities for kids (eg movie night on the beach).

The hotel was designed so that is disappeared into the hill side. Fantastic service Excellent facilities Great food

Could do with a couple more restaurants that serviced different cuisine ie Thai, Italian

AMAZINGGGGG!!!

Pangea restaurant was good for breakfast and dinner. Beach was clean, pool was excellent, staff were very good and asked what we wanted. Private pool in bedroom was nice. We liked the funicular. The staff were excellent and there were lots of them.

You should not let people 'reserve' sun loungers by the pool by putting a book/towel on them and then not using them. The bars were very nice and well staffed, but the prices were expensive.

Wonderful

Beautiful view over the sea, buffet was excellent, very well catered for.children, kids club was brilliant, spacious rooms, huge beds.

Resort feels isolated, it was very busy struggled to get a sun bed past 10am.
