Psaravolada Hotel Milos

Love Love Love! The view, the people, the food, everything was just perfect! This was our favorite part of our trip. The staff is so friendly, both the resort & restaurant staff. We had a mixup with our transfers, so a member of the hotel staff graciously gave us a ride to port and wouldn't accept our payment. The location was so quiet, we spent an evening watching the sunset on our sun-beds, drinking wine & just enjoying our time together. It's not crowded at all. It is a rocky road to get to, but it's not dangerous and totally worth it. Definitely recommend using a car or ATV for it. Don't hesitate, book here!

Pros: - The view is exceptional. Our balcony had one of the best views of our honeymoon (which included Milos and also Santorini). Given the hotel is perched high on the cliff you get a beautiful full length view of the sea, horizon and sky. It's one of those views you will never be able to digest in full and will never be able to capture it's full beauty on camera. This really is the selling point of the hotel. - The hotel is small and peaceful. It is perfect for a relaxing escape away and a complete contrast to the hustle and bustle we experienced in Athens and Santorini. It encapsulates the Milos experience. - The quality of the restaurant food was great and breakfast is included. - The room was nicely laid out and the balcony was great. The air con worked effectively at keeping the room cool. The TV also has access to Amazon Prime and Netflix. - Nansy is very helpful on WhatsApp in booking the restaurant for dinner and in person provided helpful advice on hiring a boat. - The location makes it quiet and peaceful whilst being no more than a 15 minute drive from most of the locations you'd want to visit including Plaka (capital with sunset view) and Adamas (main port town). Cons: - The service from some of the members of staff in the restaurant was sub par. As has been stated on some of the other reviews, some of the staff members treat you as if you are being a pain for asking essential questions and this has forced us to give the hotel four stars rather than five. On our first night, we were not told we would have to book the restaurant in advance and when we turned up for dinner (early at around 18:30) we were scoffed at. Fortunately they gave us a great table in the end, but if we had arrived at a more popular later time we may have been left late in the evening with no access to food without driving all the way to the busier towns on the island after a long day of travel. Given there were plenty of tables available at the time and for the next couple of hours we also didn't quite understand the reaction. We witnessed on a few occasions some of the staff openly laugh at customers. The language barrier meant the exchanges come across more as rude than friendly banter. However there was one exception from a younger waiter who was a pleasure to interact with. Unfortunately we didn't catch his name but it is worth caveating given he was great. At breakfast, you order each individual item from a set menu which can be a bit cumbersome (although good for picking and mixing your breakfast which some would like). The Greek yogurt was great. However, at almost every breakfast one of the orders was missing an item, and it was difficult each time to obtain milk for the coffee. In summary the restaurant has so much potential, but needs a more transparent booking system and the older more senior staff need training on customer relations as the close-to-rude / rude encounters can create an uncomfortable feeling that affects the whole experience. - The i
