Whenever we needed something, they were always on top of it.

AMENITIES: 10/10

The pool, spa, labyrinth, and restaurant were all incredible! This resort has it all and then some. The pool was extremely relaxing, especially after a long day of hiking.

I personally loved the spa and got a Deep Canyon CBD massage which was incredible, especially after the long days of hiking. The pool area was beautiful and had a gorgeous view of the mountains of Zion.

on-site Restaurant: 10/10

The restaurant, Spotted Dog Cafe, had incredible views of Zion National Park and the food was delicious. What made the restaurant so wonderful as well was the amazing service!

The food was incredible: I got the pesto pasta and the lemon cake for dessert. Even if you aren’t staying at the resort, you must try the Spotted Dog Cafe!

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!
