Milos Cove is for travellers who want to feel they have their own corner of the island. Classed as five on the booking partner's scale, it sits some distance from the main villages and attractions, which brings both its charm and its drawbacks: guests describe sunrise and sunset views, a generous breakfast and extensive amenities, but also note that it is far from the sights and that some of the approach roads are rough. This is a hotel to choose deliberately. If you want to spend your days by the pool, take boat tours that pick up nearby and drive out for dinner, it can be a wonderful base; if you want to walk to restaurants and shops, it is not. The rating is lower than many neighbours, around eight out of ten, which reflects expectations at a higher price point and the remote setting rather than any problems with the setting itself. For couples and honeymooners who value seclusion and a high-end feel, it is worth considering, particularly if you are renting a car or planning to use private transfers. It is also a good option for guests who plan to spend most of their time on the property.
Location and access
Ask the hotel for precise driving directions and a recommended route, and check whether the access road is suitable for your rental car, since small cars can struggle on rough surfaces. If you plan to arrive late, arrange the transfer in advance. The distance from Plaka, Adamas and Pollonia means you should budget time for each excursion, with driving times of fifteen to thirty minutes to many places.
What to expect on site
The property is known for its views, its breakfast and its range of amenities, which guests find extensive. Check what is available in your season, including pool, spa services, restaurant and bar. Ask about boat pick-ups and tours that can leave from nearby coves, which can offset the distance and make the location a plus. Evening meals may be taken at the hotel or by driving to a village, so book tables early in July and August.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and travellers who want seclusion and are willing to drive. It is not ideal for people who rely on public transport, who want nightlife or who prefer to explore on foot. Rates are among the highest on the island and peak in summer, so reserve early and check cancellation terms.
Confirm the details of your room category, any extras, and the local taxes due on arrival. If you value dark skies, quiet evenings and big views, the setting rewards the effort, and the stars on a clear night are a bonus.
