Hotel Rural Monte da Leziria — Hotel in Santiago do Cacém

We stayed at this hotel for one night and we were disappointed. First of all pay attention to your reservation. We made the reservation on booking.com and it didn´t run very well. In the reservation it was possible to make a reservation for 3 persons. When we arrived at the hotel we were informed that they had no triple rooms and the extra bed was a little bit small. So it was just recommended for kids until 12 years old... Our daughter is 14 and she is much bigger than me, so she didn´t sleep very well.||||Another subject... breakfast...First of all they have a breakfast room with just 8 tables! The room was full, and there were several persons outside waiting to get a table. This doesn´t seem acceptable. The breakfast itself was lousy! Bread, bread and bread. oh, and dry croissants, some dry biscuits and natural yogurt. No eggs or sausages, no fruits, lousy ham, lousy cheese, no cereals!!||||The corredor of our room smell very bad, specially at night.. sewage smell.||The staff was nice, except for the lady in the breakfast room, who was not very nice, and provided a slow replacement of the missing food. We don´t...

Not a very good experience. Besides the receptionist who was nice, and the breakfast that was ok, I do not recommend staying there:

1. an annoying rule that you have to leave your hotel key at the desk unless you come back after midnight. If you try leaving with them, they will call you back and force you to give it to them. I guess you could say that you are coming after midnight.
2. no elevator
3. the toilets are malfunctioning: when you flush, some water drops out because the stream is too strong
4. no hotel restaurant
5. having a 10 month old daughter we had to eat via takeaway from nearby restaurants (by the way I advise going to Chez Daniel for its seafood). These restaurants don’t always offer cutlery when using takeaway, so we asked the hotel to provide some. Unfortunately that was not in their policy. They are not allowed to lend cutlery to their customers.
6. when asking where I could throw away my garbage, they made me go outside to the nearest public garbage bin. They did not offer to use their own...

I've stayed in Monte da Leziria Rural Hotel in June and definitely recommend it.||||It's very well located, next to great beaches and Santo André Lagoon and also near the city, as well as the local attraction Badoca Park (Safari Park).||||The place is very quiet, very good to relax and enjoy the nature like for example, the singing of the birds in the morning.||||The rooms are very nice and very clean as well as the bathroom.||||The staff is very pleasant and also very nice.||||They have a nice living room to relax and also a bar with free Wi-Fi.||||The breakfast is also very good and despite of the breakfast room being a little small, it's plenty enough for the number of guests and also very cosy and charming.||||I highly recommend it and probably will...
