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!

The pool was nice with a great view. Breakfast was also really good. However, our room was a bit dated and needs updating in some areas. The staff were helpful but could be better.
