I went to Daios Cove with my Husband in September, thinking it was one of the best hotels in Crete. We actually spent the first week in another Hotel, then we moved to this one the second week. When we arrived we were chocked and disappointed by everything: The staff attitude was very arrogant and unfriendly The hotel is set-up in a small beach sourounded by a mountain, which required the guest to take a mini car every time they want to go to their room or down to the restaurants and beach etc. So no way to walk around. In fact we booked a villa which was up in the hill and We had the feeling every move to the restaurant, beach swimming pool was a little expedition. The beach and the swimming pool area are very small and the sun beds too close to each other- just horrible. The beach and water very nice though. Same thing in the restaurant, very packed and feeling you are very close to the other guests. The hotel is very recent and modern but the decoration is extremely cold and the atmosphere felt like we were traveling for business in a big chain hotel. The pool in our villa was cold and we had to request 48h in advance to have it heated and pay for 79euros per day. We called to get it heated as soon as we arrived, they told us someone would come the day after, but nobody came. And to finish, it was extremely windy , so we gave up on staying outside the room. We heard that the location is often very windy, especially when you are in the villas. Eventually we felt so bad in this place, that after one night and one day at the hotel we decided to leave. We paid 3700euros for 4 nights, and they reimbursed us one night, equivalent of 800euros daring to tell us it was a commercial gesture... Just avoid this hotel, there many others much nicer in Crete, especially if you can afford staying there , you should go to a place offering a much better service and a real luxury feeling.
