Milos Cove♡

Guest review

10.0

Without a doubt, this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We honestly said we’d come back to Greece just for the chance to stay here again. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Every staff member made us feel so welcome, and nothing was ever too much trouble. A special thank you to Stamatis in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to make every meal memorable. The entire team created such a warm, personal experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The resort itself is absolutely stunning. It has such an exclusive, peaceful feel, with incredible views, beautiful facilities and the perfect atmosphere to completely switch off. If you’re looking for a quiet luxury escape, this place is hard to beat. The location is a little more secluded, so we’d definitely recommend hiring a car, but for us, that’s exactly what made it so special. It felt private, relaxing and away from the crowds, while still being close enough to explore everything Milos has to offer. We’ve stayed in some amazing places, but this was on another level. The combination of the breathtaking setting, world-class service and attention to detail made it an experience we’ll never forget. A genuine 10/10. We can’t wait to come back.

− The gym was great but very hot.

5 Star Price - 3 Star Reality!

My family and I just returned from our 4-night stay in Milos Cove. Wow, what a colossal disaster! The resort touts its heavy 5-star resort but to be honest it delivers 3-star amenities at best. There is ZERO elegance to the soap, shampoo, lotion (you literally get generic soap, lotion, shampoo – nothing special about it). And you get one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth). You are given one beach/pool towel that you are expected to take with you to the pool or beach. Asking for more is met with surprise. A reader might think I am being pretentious but if I was paying a fraction of the cost this would be understandable - the cost/quality is way out of whack. If you are use to the Four Seasons or Luxury hotel brands this is NOT it. Just be warned on what you are getting into when you arrive. Let me start with the positives. It is absolutely a beautiful view from the restaurant – no doubt about it. The staff are very helpful and does the best they can with what they have to work with. The wait staff, housekeeping, etc. are friendly and attentive. The place is clean. And I enjoyed my food experience. Now to the challenges: it starts with check-in. The “lobby” is literally a black room with a large rock with a hologram on it (felt Jurassic Park to me). Almost impossible to see given the heavy sunlight outside – not warm or welcoming at all. You are asked at check-in if you want your towels replaced every day (huh – 5 star?) The gym is a joke...old equipment and again I called it the “black box” with zero windows and nice dungeon experience. The rooms – have you ever had glass ceilings and therefore floors in the upstairs/downstairs in your life? Well you have that here for some reason. Literally the floor separating downstairs from upstairs in the middle of the room is glass - people in the room downstairs can see the people in the upstairs when they are naked getting ready, walking out of the shower, etc. Huh? Oh and the first-floor rooms are blessed with windows into the bathroom that can be seen from outside walkers. Imagine showering and having a casual walker be able to literally walk by and see you naked in the shower. Was this a swingers place back in the day? The location is remote, which is good and bad. Some might say that is romantic and to an extent it is. However, it is at least 30 minutes from everything else on the island. And to get anywhere you need to be ready for some real bumpy roads in an out (you are driving by the way since there are no Uber’s/taxis). The last mile in and out is a VERY hilly unpaved road. Enjoy! In summary, this is a 5-start price tag with 3-star amenities at best. If you are looking for 5-start this is not it.

Extremely far from anything and disappointing food

4.0

If you’re looking for a nice pool and cute private beach, then this place may be for you but if you want good food and close proximity to anything outside of the hotel…then stay away. Some of the worst food we’ve ever had at a hotel. Expect things like burgers, pizza and €20+ drinks. The hotel is also 30+ minutes drive from ANYTHING in Milos with taxi prices being €70-100 each way.

Unforgettable hotel

10.0

There are luxury hotels, and then there are places that leave a lasting impression on your soul. Milos Cove is one of those rare places. My husband and I stayed for four nights, and by the time we left, we were already talking about when we could come back. It wasn’t just our favorite hotel in Greece—it was one of the most unforgettable hotels we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had discovered a secret corner of the island. Nestled high above its own secluded cove, Milos Cove offers a level of privacy and tranquility that’s almost impossible to find. It truly feels like your own private paradise. Our suite was breathtaking. The design perfectly blends luxury with the natural beauty of Milos, incorporating local stone and organic materials that make the room feel elegant without ever feeling overdone. The bedroom was upstairs, overlooking the turquoise Aegean Sea and the hotel’s private cove. Waking up to that view every morning honestly felt surreal. It was, without question, the most spectacular hotel view I’ve ever had. The bathroom deserves its own paragraph because it was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The shower was the best I’ve ever had in any hotel—powerful water pressure, two oversized rainfall showerheads that made it perfect for couples, and luxurious bath products that smelled incredible. It felt less like a hotel bathroom and more like a five-star spa. The service was flawless. Every single person we encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to make our stay unforgettable. You never felt like just another guest. The staff remembered us, anticipated our needs, and consistently went above and beyond. Lina and Vangelis stood out as two of the most thoughtful staff members I’ve ever met. Their warmth and hospitality elevated an already incredible stay into something truly special. The setting is what makes Milos Cove completely magical. Because the hotel sits in a remote part of the island, you escape the crowds entirely. Many afternoons I had the private beach completely to myself—a luxury that’s nearly impossible to find in the Greek Islands during peak season. The silence, interrupted only by the sound of the waves, was pure bliss. The private cove is, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach on Milos. Since it’s only accessible by hotel guests or by boat, it remains peaceful and pristine. The crystal-clear water is stunning, and the colorful volcanic rocks lining the shoreline are unlike anything we’ve seen before. Milos is rich in volcanic minerals, so every rock seems to have its own unique colors and patterns. Guests spent hours collecting and admiring them—it became one of our favorite unexpected memories from the trip. One of our favorite experiences was taking a boat tour around the island. Thanks to the hotel’s private dock, our captain picked us up and dropped us off directly at Milos Cove. It couldn’t have been more convenient and made us feel like we were arriving by yacht to our own private resort. The food deserves every bit of praise it receives. Breakfast was included and was exceptional—an abundant buffet paired with a full à la carte menu that was prepared to order. Every morning felt leisurely and indulgent. Dinner was hands down our favorite meal on the entire island. The restaurant sits dramatically atop the cliffs overlooking the cove and the endless blue Aegean Sea. On beautiful evenings, the retractable roof opens, transforming the restaurant into an open-air dining experience beneath the stars. Between the breathtaking views, impeccable service, and phenomenal cuisine, every dinner felt unforgettable. Although we didn’t end up booking treatments, we toured the spa and immediately wished we had made the time. Designed to resemble an elegant obsidian cave, it felt peaceful, intimate, and unlike any spa we’ve seen before. I had planned to experience one of their signature bath rituals, but unfortunately ran out of time. Next visit, it’ll be the first thing I book. Our private plunge pool quickly became one of our favorite places to relax. While it’s not heated, it was still refreshing and comfortable in early July. The staff cleaned it every day, and our patio—with lounge chairs, a dining table, umbrella, and uninterrupted sea views—became the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after exploring the island. If I had to mention one downside, it’s simply getting there. The hotel is about 20–30 minutes from the port, Plaka, and most other destinations on Milos. The roads are narrow, mostly dirt, steep in sections, and not always well marked. I’d strongly recommend renting an all-wheel-drive vehicle and embracing the adventure. Surprisingly, what initially felt intimidating became part of the charm. Every drive back to Milos Cove felt like returning to a hidden sanctuary that very few people get to experience. Milos Cove isn’t just a luxury hotel—it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, the crowds disappear, and every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make you feel completely at peace. Between the breathtaking setting, world-class hospitality, incredible food, beautiful accommodations, and the unforgettable private cove, this is one of the most magical places we’ve ever stayed. We only wish we had booked a longer stay.
