Milos Cove

Such a beautiful spot on the Aegean. For the positives - beautiful view, outstanding pool and bar, nice beach with boat dock that we were picked up from., concierge staff was good as was the people running golf carts and pool service. Negatives - nasty and not helpful or accommodating staff in dining room and front desk, snotty attitude that we had 4 teenagers (never mind it’s not 18+ resort) and not welcoming at all! You cannot order off of the room service or all day menu after 7 even though it’s the same kitchen we were rudely told “if we let you do it (to get a burger) everyone will want to” to which my husband said “well maybe if everyone wants to it tells you something!” They were constantly creating problems not solving them. The location is very far away and they charged us 160€ to get a car round trip. The van they said only held 7 when of course it held 8 they just wanted the extra car to be hired. The rooms are clean but the beds are in a loft and the bathrooms are on the bottom with zero privacy. The front door opens into The wet area and there’s no door. The sink is oblong black that has water only on one side. Never could get only cold to work. No place to put your cosmetics, toothbrush etc. pillows were like giant rocks and only sheets on bed. No robes but weirdly they had slippers - Not a traditional duvet as expected in Europe.

Milos Cove stands out among the world's hotels. Its privileged location, nestled close to the imposing rocky mountains, is nothing short of divine! You can feel the energy emanating from these rocks; it's an extraordinary and memorable experience, I can't think of any other resort in the world that can evoke this unique sensation. It must be truly one-of-a-kind! The views from the pool and breakfast area are breathtaking! So lucky I had the chance to book their last nights before they close for the season. I stayed Oct 6-9. Do not think twice about booking here, and do not fear being a little far away from other areas in Milos, it is so much worthy!

The setting is lovely, but it is pretty remote. Cab fares run about 70 Euros each way into the port. The restaurant is OK and has a pretty limited menu. We had a lot of trouble figuring out the room lighting. This is a lovely place if you want to spend time in one place, but not if you want to experience Milos.

We arrived in Milos by way of a stay at the Elements Boutique in Sifnos, which was superb and gets a 5 star rating, but that’s for another review at another time… We arrived in Milos having travelled by a Jetcat called Champion Jet 2 which was excellent. We then picked our car up from RaC Car Rental unquestionably the most amateur and worst car rental company I have experienced they get a 1 star rating and that is only because I can’t give 0, that is also for another review at another time. So our review of Milos Cove Inception Resort goes like this…. We hated it, when I say we hated it our dislike of our time there is a visceral and profound dislike. The hotel sits at the end of one of the worst and hardest drives you will have to make to a hotel in Europe, you are basically driving through a disused quarry to get there and it’s a bone shaker. At night the drive is one of the scariest things I have ever made…. It’s is 3km once you leave ‘proper’ road at the church on to the hotel and at night it’s unlit which is TERRIFYING and not a little dangerous . Their is no clearly communicated correspondence from the hotel to inform you of this before hand… it may be buried in some *********** correspondence but frankly it lacks any proper/appropriate transparency… you literally have no idea what car to hire and we of course took a Renault Clio, not at all suitable. Milos Cove blab on “ Indicatively, the last 3 km of the road leading to Milos Cove, present historical interest and we advise our esteemed guests for a 4x4 rental” This in NO way gives you any concept of the reality of your journey… On arrival you are collected at the car park and driven by golf buggy to the reception, you step from light into dark which is kind of freaky and I found it unpleasant, the hotels owner I think describes it as creating ‘a**osphere’, truth being its just pretentious. I think the metaphor is to step from darkness into light, not vice a versa. My dislike really embedded when on checkin I was asked if we had brought any DRONES with us, I asked why would I have done that? The receptionist then explained gleefully that they get a lot of influencers staying as the location is just peachy… and my heart sank. The concierge a lovely and helpful person Fontini then gave us a tour of the hotel starting with the SPA and a not very suitable sales pitch for massages and the virtues of obsidian stone and how it has the power to take away anger. To travellers that were hot and sweaty and really just needed their room and a shower after a long journey it was just crass but that I am afraid is what Milos Cove is… The complex is compact and it looks lovely, the attention to detail is good and the rooms are nice, as they should be (entry level £725 per night) you do get breakfast thrown in but at that price you should and its not as if you can pop out for an alternative Adamantas is 7km away and 3km of that is hellish roads…. The staff are mostly pleasant and obliging. The

In Milos Cove, we found the highest level of hospitality at a spectacular location. The infrastructure is perfectly balanced with the nature calmness of Milos island. Local and international flavors of the restaurant, accompanied by the highest service level, offer the optimum environment to enjoy the unprecedented location in the Greek Island.

Facilities are great and has great potential. Very hard to get to location. Reception service very poor as well as porters. No vibe at the hotel in the evenings which is disappointing because they have the setup for it in the bar and dining area. Poor for the rates charged and definitely better alternatives on Milos Also, a very Had to ask for robes in the room. No bottle opener in the room. Also, any hotel that is €1000 per night and charges for additional nespresso pods after first capsules on first day needs a realignment in the service they are offering. Weird start where they immediately try and sell you on their spa and do a welcome sound bath ritual which is not for everyone.

This hotel is fabulous! The location, a**osphere, the service, the room, the pool, the restaurant, the breakfast.. If you are lucky enough to visit Milos island then this place is a must. The spa is outstanding and did I mention the staff are AMAZING!! Will definitely be returning again.
