Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villas, Crete

We loved everything! The room was amazing, the food was great, the facilities were inviting, even the plants in the garden are well taken care of. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is smiling and helpful. We enjoyed the private beach and the pool. Everything is super clean. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel with excellent food, facilities and friendly staff. Everything was perfect from check in to check out, we will definitely be back.

The exceptional colour of the sea

Everything was amazing! We had all in and enjoyed it a lot Veeeeery good food in taverna. Breakfast buffet is superbe Buffet in the evening is not on the level of the restaurants It is better then other 5 star hotels

Spa is 16+ Pool was cold in Mai and it would have been nice to have a time slot in the spa area where children are allowed

very nice, clean, beautiful and comfortable resort. very polite and responsive team.

food in the buffet for dinner can be better. Sparkling water for 8 euros, glass of wine for 16 is too much

everything

nothing

Daios Cove is a very special place. The views, the quality of the facilities, the food, the staff, everything made it an exceptional experience.

The location is fabulous because the cove provides a barrier to the wind. It is a very peaceful, quiet, and beautiful place. You really need a car in my opinion because it is not near anything. Unless you plan to be only in the resort, then rent a car. The rooms were very comfortable and great size. The resort itself is beautiful. The overall service is excellent, there is some area for improvement but definitely nothing big.

The bed- I could not get a decent sleep on the bed and pillows. I requested the baby pillows which is the only alternative pillow, which allowed my neck to relax a bit. But for me the beds were a deal breaker as we stayed 10-nights. The food is ok, nothing too memorable. The dessert section of their dinner menu was the best. Had one of the best baklavas I have had after traveling in Greece for 14 years. The dinner menu meats/fish/chicken - just need to be re-evaluate. It was either over cooked, no flavor, just not desirable. I like their salad area for dinner. But as I said nothing that was memorable. Wish they concentrated more on Greek and Cretan culinary. Provided more cheeses from the local environment. The have the room to create their farm to table food. They can do so much with their food - to truly make this resort stand out especially at the cost charged for food menu. Btw, drinks including orange juice is not included in the dinner menu. Only still water is included in the dinner menu. Everything else is an extra charge and very pricey. For example, OJ glass is 7 euro. The menu on the beach needs improvement and rotation, not the same thing every day.

I loved the exclusivity, the facilities - everything!

Only point I would make it about the location, while it’s secluded which is lovely it means there’s nowhere nearby to go within walking distance.

ATMOSPHERE LOCATION SERVICE MOOD

Many thanks to Guest relation team Especially to Ani Kerobyan

everything perfect

The natural surroundings, the view, the service and the staff.

Nothing!

The place is beautiful and very clean with lots of room on the beautiful private beach and the pool is stunning, very stylish. The staff was very nice and accommodating. 24hr room service, very close to agios nikolaos if you want to go for a day trip.

Nothing not to like about this place i would go back in a heart beat.

The first thing we interact was the lobby area and the design was superb with influence from local area. The accomodation was super nice, very clean and with good space. The restaurants and bars in the resort are offering great experience with many options and very good quality. A special apreciation to Pangea restaurant and Chef Yannis together with his team. The food was amazing. We like very much the pools and beach area. These facilities has bars next to them which offers very good services with drinks and food. I like the attention to the kids which Daios gives.

That was our best Vacation in our life . Thank u very much for everybody.

Amazing location, cosy room, super trained vert friendly staff

Despite the hotel rated 5 stars the food at the Pangea restaurant is not enough delicious, rarely showing up local cuisine, I would rate it rather weak 4 stars than 5, sorry

Inclusive breakfast was amazing the inclusive dinner not amazing and the same every night

The bathrooms are not private just a frosted glass door so if you are a new couple or a couple that likes to be alone when you go to the restroom its not so private for the seaview standard rooms although they are a good size. Again the buffet dinner was not 5 star although with buffet what can you expect, the staff however is excllent everywhere and all around well trained very kind excellent

- view - the sea

- unfortunate weather (not attributable to the hotel ofcourse) - housekeeping's attitude - guest relations not organised - too many stairs and not easy access - for such price levels, everything must be perfect; but weren't

State of the art facility. I loved the scenery and the rooms were very clean and tidy.

The cosine needs more variety. Need to incorporate more water activities at the beech.

Breakfast was fantastic and the beach is blissful The spa and its treatments!

You feel like one more guest , no special details unless you are in the suite or villas The subbed situation by the pool or beach !

Fabulous setting, great views and a private beach. Staff are attentive and helpful.

It’s nestled in a hillside so arranged over various levels with lots of steps. But there’s a funicular lift so that eases the legs but it is slow going

spacious room, great kids club, friendly staff, cleanness, beautiful spa facilities

limited menu options across all the restaurants we tried, lifts were taking a little while some times, breakfast area was a bit busy

A spectacular hotel, unique, stunning beach and immaculately maintained. Food in the a la carte restaurants excellent as was room service. Our one bedroom suite had a huge terrace and fabulous pool. Watersports were fun and the beach service both for towels, beds and refreshments was awesome. All inclusive option - residents club - a must.

Hit and miss with the staff - some were brilliant, genuine and happy for example reception, beach and Ocean restaurant. Others ranged from being quite rude (in the boutique) to disinterested (in the buffet restaurant). It’s a shame as it really takes the edge off of what is a brilliant hotel.

Daios Cove is nothing short of perfection. Restaurants, bars, shops and incredible staff make for a truly unforgettable experience.

The only very minor downside is that there is not much to do apart from relax, eat and drink. The hotel does have some excursions but we found them to be a little expensive.

lovely facilities, well laid out, great pool and beach, great restaurants

ocean restaurant was chaotic - the layout and service were chaotic. It was also full of kids which is fine at the buffet etc but not when you are paying top price at a fine dining restaurant Also we didn’t like having to get up early for our pool / beach loungers
