(1,473 reviews) We had a wonderful stay at The Milo Hotel while celebrating our anniversary. The whole trip was special, and sharing it with my amazing wife made it truly unforgettable. The atmosphere was relaxing and romantic, perfect for a quiet getaway together. Our room had a beautiful ocean view, which made the experience even more memorable. Waking up and seeing the water each morning added a special touch to our anniversary and made our stay feel even more peaceful and unique. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They went out of their way to make sure everything was comfortable and easy for us, and their kindness and attention to detail really stood out. The location is beautiful and perfect for couples looking to relax and enjoy time together. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and would happily return again. Highly recommended for a romantic stay.
