9.8/10 Exceptional! (95 reviews)
This resort hotel is like an escape from the hustle of the island with a nice beach access. Our suite was extremely elegant and relaxing with a jacuzzi tub inside and an exterior hot tub. It also came with a gym, reminding you to stay healthy after the delicious breakfast brunch buffet and meals from other restaurants on site.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (204 reviews)
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.
