One of the best resorts in Crete. The location and private beach are absolutely stunning. The resort offers excellent facilities, and there’s also plenty to explore in the surrounding area. This was my second stay at Daios Cove, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. I already can’t wait to go back!

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.

First of all, let’s start with the real issues. The hotel is overcrowded at the beach, and the marketing for their Junior Suites is close to false advertising. We stayed in a Junior Suite with Sea View and Private Pool (“The Collection”) and had a building and a cactus directly in front of our room. The problem is not just the disappointment itself, but the fact that the promotion for the room does not reflect reality. When we raised the issue with the hotel staff, they showed us two alternative rooms — one smaller and clearly downgraded from the original, and one presented as an upgrade, which was just as poorly located as the room we already had. Yes, the food and overall service are decent — but this is not a five-star hotel when measured against the standard the price and marketing suggest. We stayed two out of six nights, attempted to settle with the manager for a refund, and were rudely declined. We left the hotel and continued our vacation elsewhere.
