We came here for 3 nights before heading to Cascais for a further 3 nights last week. The Hotel is perfectly situated next to beautiful beaches, minutes from the old town, walks etc.
We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and overall the hotel is clean.
Breakfast buffet is generous, if you can get a table on the outside veranda do as the view is fantastic.
In the Evening the buffet /dinner appears to be very popular and good value at €22 approximately. You can also avail of a complimentary glass of wine .
However , I feel it is worth pointing out some issues that could and should be addressed by the hotel to raise its standards and reputation that it deserves due to its location.
1-No glasses in the rooms . Why not? even for toothbrushes etc.
2-No hooks on the bathroom door for wet towels .
3-No towels by the poolside .This is standard in all hotels.
4-The beds / mattress's are very hardened uncomfortable !
5-A daily charge of €2.50 for use of the safe. I have never come across this before. I travel extensively worldwide with my work, staying an average of between 30-50 hotels per year. This should be included, for the safekeeping of guests .Considering the room rates are not exactly bargains.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the HS Milfontes. I feel there are issues and shortcomings that could be very easily addressed by the owners/Management without breaking the bank in expenditure.
Hopefully we will be back again in the near future with a sea view room ,albeit with a more comfortable bed !!
