Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Hotel in Milos, Greece – Cave Suites Milos

Cave Suites Milos: Hotel Review

Looking for the best place to stay on Milos island in Greece?

Cave Suites Milos is a hotel on the island of Milos in the Greek Islands. It is considered a 5-star boutique hotel and is newly built. There are only 6 suites, which makes the attention to detail and service outstanding.

Linked here is a short video I created to showcase how beautiful Cave Suites Milos is.

STAY SUMMARY:

My stay at Cave Suites Milos was so incredible that I was even looking into booking more nights there because I never wanted to leave! If you ever go to Milos, staying at this place is an absolute must. I have never been treated like royalty… but here I was definitely treated like that! What made the staff so helpful and amazing is that they assisted us with setting everything up, from boat tours, to restaurant reservations, and more.

Location: 10/10

The location of this property is unmatched. Everything seemed like it was 10 minutes away via car which was so convenient. The most famous beach on the island (Sarankinko Beach) is a 2-minute drive away which was such a bonus!

Service: 10/10

The best thing about Cave Suites Milos was the service 100%. We fell in love with Kaliopi (pictured above), who was always there to help us with setting up reservations, helping with our special requests, and more. She also brought our breakfast every morning. We called her our fairy godmother because she was so helpful, attentive, and made all of our Milos wishes come true! Another amazing thing about this hotel is how often they clean and tidy the rooms. Whenever we would leave, they would immediately clean our room and even fold our laundry (pictured above). The attention to detail here is amazing!

Amenities: 10/10

All suites have a balcony with a private pool and panoramic sea view which makes the amenities here absolutely amazing. Having your own patio with a beautiful view of the ocean and a private pool area is all anyone can ask for. The accommodation of getting an amazing breakfast delivered right to your private patio was also amazing, and definitely added to the overall experience.

Value: 10/10

Although this hotel was fairly expensive (at the time I had booked it, it was around 500 euros a night) it was worth every penny. If you are looking for a splurge or are celebrating something special, I definitely recommend to book something here, even if it’s just for one night. Do remember that since there are only 6 suites total, you have to book very far in advance!

Overall Rating: 10/10

Easiest rating ever for this hotel would be a 10/10 rating. I don’t ever say this, but Cave Suites Milos is the best place I have ever stayed in. You must add it to your list to visit one day.

Monopoli, Italy Best Hotel: Don Ferrante

Don Ferrante In Monopoli, Italy: Hotel Review

Don Ferrante is a boutique hotel that is located in the town of Monopoli, Italy which is in the Puglia region of Italy. The hotel used to be an ancient fortress which made the architecture of this hotel very neat. It is in a perfect location right next to the town which has wonderful shops and authentic restaurants.

STAY SUMMARY:

My stay at Don Ferrante was excellent, especially because of the amazing 5-star quality breakfast that was served every morning overlooking the ocean (picture below). The staff were very friendly and helpful, and my room was extremely comfortable and clean.

Location: 10/10

This hotel is located right on the water which made the views beautiful but also the location to the town perfect. We only had to walk a few minutes to get to the main square where the shops and restaurants were.

Service: 10/10

The service was great here! My room was always clean and the staff helped us arrange dinner reservations and a massage service. Everyone was super helpful and even if something as small as a food item running out during breakfast, they would replace it immediately.

Amenities: 10/10

The pool and rooftop of this hotel are such nice features of this hotel! There are lounge chairs which are perfect for relaxing by the pool and there are also tables in case you want to bring some take-out or food up to the rooftop. I went in March so the weather was still too chilly to go spend time in the pool, but I can only imagine that during the summer months it would be much more relaxing.

Value: 9.5/10

The value of this hotel is very good, but I would say it is on the pricey side of hotels in this area. That is definitely because it overlooks the water and has some 5-star qualities to it. Even though it is a boutique hotel, it was definitely on the small side and had no other amenities but the breakfast room and pool.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Overall, I had such a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. The breakfast, views, and room made up for the higher price tag to stay here. I also highly recommend adding this hotel to your trip to the Puglia region of Italy, as it was a perfect place to base myself out of when exploring the area!

Tranquility Bay Beachfront Resort In The Florida Keys: Hotel Review

Tranquility Bay Beachfront Resort is a tropical oasis located in Marathon, Florida which is part of the Florida Keys. The resort has a private beach, restaurant, pools, and beachey villas and rooms.

STAY SUMMARY:

My stay at Tranquility Bay Resort in the Florida Keys was absolutely wonderful. The resort was beautiful and really embodied the look of the old Florida Keys.

Location: 10/10

This resort was a great location and had easy access to walking paths, beaches, and a wide variety of restaurants. The photo below shows the incredible sunset view right from the resort’s beach!

Service: 10/10

The service was great here and they even upgraded our room to an oceanfront beach house which was amazing. They were very accommodating with any problems that came up and I appreciated that so much.

Amenities: 9/10

At this resort, there are many fun things to do right on the property. You can get a paddle board or kayak and go right into the water, or even rent a jet ski which is fun as well.

The only thing that I think could have made the stay better in terms of amenities is if the restaurant on the beach had more options and higher-quality food. This resort had a wonderful restaurant in the lobby called Butterfly Cafe, which had amazing food. I think comparing that restaurant to the restaurant on the beach was a bit disappointing for me.

Value: 10/10

The value of this property is great, especially when you factor in all of the amenities like the various pools and the beach. I would say that this property has one of the best values in the entire Marathon area, and you definitely get way more than you pay for here.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Tranquility Bay Resort is a wonderful, family-friendly stay when visiting the Florida Keys. I definitely recommend staying there for the location, beautiful property, and wonderful onside restaurant (Butterfly cafe).
