I just returned from a fantastic week at Daios Cove. The resort is stunning, with beautiful views of the cove and well-maintained grounds. The private beach is perfect, with crystal-clear water that feels like a swimming pool. All the staff I encountered were attentive and friendly, really enhancing the experience. I loved the room's private pool, which was great for a quiet morning dip. The breakfast selection exceeded my expectations, with well-prepared dishes. I had a wonderful meal at the Ocean restaurant, enjoying gourmet food on a private balcony. However, I faced some long wait times with the lift, especially with two toddlers in tow, which could be frustrating. Also, the pool water felt colder than expected, making it less enjoyable. The buffet restaurant was decent, but sometimes the food served was lukewarm and could use improvement. I was put off by the high prices for drinks and food, particularly the supplemental cost for dining options outside the buffet. Still, the overall atmosphere and amenities make this a hard place to beat in terms of luxury.

We just enjoyed 6 nights at this stunning hotel. The gourmet dining in the Pangea was exceptional, and the private room with a pool made our stay feel luxurious. Staff were attentive and made my birthday memorable!

I enjoyed the stunning private beach with crystal clear water. The deluxe room was spacious, comfortable, and had breathtaking views. The children's club kept my little ones entertained, giving us some much-needed relaxation time. Staff throughout the resort were mostly polite and attentive, especially at the beach, where they really went above and beyond for our kids. Dining options at the Pangea restaurant were varied and generally satisfying, though breakfast could get busy and service slow at times. A downside was the cold temperature of the individual pool in our room. we couldn’t use it as much as we had hoped. Also, the layout of the resort made getting around a bit cumbersome, especially with young children. Some areas felt like a long trek away, and waiting for the golf buggy service took longer than expected. I noticed some inconsistencies in housekeeping, which affected our comfort during the stay, like towels not being replaced timely and our balcony not being cleaned. Overall, a lovely vacation but with some areas needing fine-tuning.

Loved the spacious room and beautiful beach. Air conditioning was too warm for comfort.

Had an awesome time with friends! We really enjoyed the children's club for the younger ones and the stunning views while playing golf in the mountains. Just a heads up, getting around the property can take a bit of time, but it’s worth it for the amazing amenities and relaxing vibe. Definitely recommend it!
One downside was our experience at the Taverna restaurant, where the staff seemed disinterested and the service was poor.

Had an amazing time with friends! We loved the beautiful views and the luxurious rooms. The children's club was a huge hit for the younger ones, and we enjoyed hiking in the stunning mountains nearby. Just a heads up, getting around the property can take some time, but it’s worth it for the relaxing vibe and top-notch amenities.
One downside was the cold swim-up pool in our room, which we couldn't enjoy as much as we'd hoped.

missingWrote a review on Sept 30crowded facilities
While the beach and pools are attractive, they can feel quite crowded, especially during breakfast and dinner times. Reservations for dining become challenging, with few opportunities before 9 PM, which isn’t ideal for families with younger children. Additionally, the pricing for food and drinks is steep, with notable examples like a starter portion consisting of a single shrimp, leaving guests desiring more reasonable and simpler menu options. There's also a noticeable wait for golf buggy transport, which can become inconvenient when trying to navigate the resort's expansive layout.

The layout includes a stunning private cove beach, providing a picturesque spot to unwind with azure waters. The diverse dining options, featuring unique cocktail offerings and a well-organized buffet, ensure that there’s something for everyone, refreshing for a luxury stay.
Getting around the property can be quite a workout, with slow funicular rides and limited availability of golf buggies. The dining prices feel inflated for the portion sizes offered, like at the 'Ocean' restaurant where a shrimp starter barely made a meal. It’s also a challenge to secure sun beds by the pool, leading to guests claiming them at dawn, which feels less than relaxing. Additionally, private pools can be uncomfortably cold, affecting comfort during your stay.

We loved the beautiful views and the luxurious rooms. The kids really enjoyed the well-equipped Children's Club, and we found some awesome spots to hike in the mountains nearby. Just a heads up, the property is vast, so getting around can take a while, but it's all worth it for the experience.
One downside was our visit to The Beach House Restaurant, where the service was a bit uncoordinated, and we waited too long for our food.

We had an amazing 8-night stay in a Deluxe Room with Sea View and Individual Pool, and loved relaxing at the private beach while enjoying delicious dinners at the Beach House. The spa offered fantastic massage and facial options that made our stay even more enjoyable. One small downside was the limited children's menu, but it didn't take away from our overall experience! 😊
