Un magnifique hôtel qui plonge dans une sublime crique aux eaux turquoises. Chambres très bien décorées et confortable, un service attentionné, du personnel compétent et sympathique, de très bons restaurants, jolie piscine et sublime plage, what else ? Bref on a beau chercher on ne trouve rien à critiquer si ce n'est un service parfois un peu lent au buffet, mais l'hôtel était complet (juillet) et le personnel malgré tout attentif. En résumé, un établissement qui mérite bien ses 5*****

I landed at Daios Cove Saturday 12 July 2025 and still here. We have booked for 10 nights and wished we hadn't. I have asked to leave early and for the hotel to return my money for the days we don't want to stay but management have simply refused. I would not say this is a 5 star hotel. At best, I would give this hotel 2 stars. Service is incredibly slow. Their excuse is that they are at full occupancy. This should not detriment our stay. The buggy's that pick you up are always late. The funnicular's are hard work especially when you have 2 young children. I find most of the staff here don't want you here and are very dismissive. We are in a villa that is connected to other people's room which we were not told of at the time of booking / arriving. We have 2 young children and there are children either side of our connecting rooms which is unfair for both famillies. We have paid a lot of money to come here and I would say that the price does not reflect our stay. It is a lot of money to pay to come to what is at best a 2 star resort. We love Greece and came here upon recommendation but we would NEVER return nor recommend this hotel to any of our friends / family. Such a shame as were very excited to give DC a go. Not one for our family i'm afraid.

We arrived late evening on 29th June to be met by the hotels VIP airport transfer service which was the perfect stress free way to start and set the standard for a wonderful week at Daios Cove. We found the breakfast and evening buffet to be excellent (as well as the other restaurants) with an incredible variety of quality options each day and owe special gratitude to Kostas, the executive chef, who personally ensured our 14 year old who has a nut allergy was completely taken care of. Kostas and his team really did go above and beyond and help make it a great experience. The Guest relations team were also incredibly friendly and helpful as well as the cleaning staff in our experience. As we were departing you could feel the resort getting closer to capacity and perhaps understand the concerns that some guests had about sunbed availability around the pool and on the beach even but we were up early enough not to experience this ourselves. The teams running the watersports activities were also extremely friendly and professional and the gym excellent for those wanting to excercise. Overall Daios Cove is a supeb, well run resort that tries it's best to please it's customers and in our experience very much succeeded. We'll definitely be going back

Wir sind so wütend und enttäuscht vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, dass wir diese Bewertung direkt aus dem Urlaub schreiben. Wir sind aktuell noch vor Ort – und leider wird es jeden Tag negativer. Der Service ist miserabel – der schlechteste, den wir je in einem Hotel dieser Kategorie erlebt haben. Das Personal wirkt überfordert, unaufmerksam und nicht besonders serviceorientiert. Auf Wünsche oder Beschwerden wird kaum eingegangen, Reaktionen sind träge oder bleiben ganz aus. Kein Turn-Down-Service, keine Begrüßung bei Ankunft, kein Gefühl von Exklusivität – man fühlt sich hier eher wie eine Nummer als ein willkommener Gast. Ein absolutes Unding ist die Situation an Pool und Strand: Bereits ab 7:30 Uhr morgens sind alle Liegen mit Handtüchern reserviert, obwohl viele davon dann stundenlang leer bleiben. Das Hotel toleriert dieses Verhalten – niemand greift ein. Das bedeutet für andere Gäste: Kein Platz zum Entspannen, kein fairer Zugang, kein Komfort. Für ein Hotel mit diesem Anspruch ist das inakzeptabel. Zudem gibt es keine modernen Getränkeoptionen wie Ingwer-Shots, Matcha Latte oder frische, gesunde Alternativen. Das Frühstücksangebot ist einfallslos und altmodisch – wer aktuelle Standards kennt, wird hier nur den Kopf schütteln. Fazit: Für den Preis hatten wir viel mehr erwartet. Statt Erholung erleben wir Frust, schlechten Service, chaotische Organisation und täglichen Ärger. Wir würden dieses Hotel auf keinen Fall weiterempfehlen.

Alles bestens, ich suche mal nach dem was man kritisch bemerken kann, wenn man lange sucht: 1. Sehr viele Russen, derzeit nichts für mich. 2. Für die normale Kategorie etwas nüchterne Frühstücksatmosphäre (Räume erinnern eher an eine gehobene Kantine, das Essen ist trotz Buffet wirklich ok). Ebenso nur ein Buffet abends an gleicher Stelle. Daher sollte man das Essen in den Restaurants einkalkulieren, teuer aber gut bis sehr gut). Oder gleich eine Kategorie upgraden, dann auch sehr schöne Frühstücksterrasse und sehr gutes, serviertes Abendessen. Dann könnte man mit definitiv mit 5 Sternen bewerten, sonst darf man das nicht erwarten. 3. Alles andere bestens, toller Blick, schöne bergige Anlage, kleiner aber feinsandiger schöner Privatstrand. Sehr nettes Personal.

Chaos can only describe this place. We are currently at Daios and want to leave since its no where near the 5-star hotel we thought it was. Asked to speak to the manager since our biggest issue was the crazy breakfast buffet (the worst place to start your day) but manager could not in any way att all help us - what a manager! There are 3 restaurants to eat breakfast but since we are ”only” half board we are only allowed to eat at the awful buffet.

My family and I chose this resort for several compelling reasons — and we’re glad we did! To start with, the daycare service for children exceeded our expectations. It’s reassuring to know that a team of attentive and caring professionals is looking after your little ones, allowing parents to relax and enjoy the holiday. Another standout feature is the beach — truly a slice of paradise. Swimming in the crystal-clear sea and strolling along the soft, sandy shoreline feels like pure luxury. The resort staff go above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Every detail, including the plush, cozy towels (perfect for wrapping up twice!) adds to the sense of indulgence. And of course, the food deserves a special mention! The resort offers a diverse and generous selection of dishes to satisfy pescatarians, meat lovers, vegans, and vegetarians alike. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Konstantinos Mandylas — not only a culinary talent but also a delightful personality with a sharp sense of humor and impeccable taste! All in all, we’re thoroughly enjoying our stay and making the most of every moment. Highly recommended for families looking for luxurious relaxation, comfort, and an out of this world gastronomy! A solid 5 stars resort!
