A beautiful and well maintained hotel.
The staff provides good service, but they never go the extra mile , everything is done strictly by the book.
The buffet is of low quality for a hotel charging €650 per night.

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)

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.

This hotel, like many others marked as “VIP Access,” offers no real benefits. Despite clear upgrade availability the night before check-in, we were told nothing was available once we mentioned VIP status—a recurring pattern where upgrades are consistently denied using vague excuses. If a non-VIP guest wanted to pay, I’m certain a room would have been available.
There was no recognition, no perk, no welcome amenity—nothing. Even after raising the issue with guest relations, no effort was made to address it. Additionally, the advertised valet parking doesn’t exist and isn’t needed—it’s just misleading.
This feels more like a marketing trick than a real program. I strongly urge you to review and remove this hotel from the VIP Access list.

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.

Generell eine sehr schöne Anlage mit super netten Mitarbeitern. Leider ist das Preiskonzept für Speisen und Getränke nicht nachvollziehbar. Eine Flasche Wasser mit Sprudel für 8 Euro die ich in jedem Supermarkt in der Nähe für 90 Cent bekomme??????? Und das setzt sich bei Wein und Bier fort. Aus diesem Grund leider nicht weiter zu empfehlen.
