This was our second stay at a Martinhal property and it completely delivered! We traveled with our 2 year old son and from the start, the staff was welcoming and lovely with him. The property is huge and has so many great amenities for children and adults alike. Even though we visited in off-peak season and some of the restaurants/spaces were closed, we felt it met our needs. Our 2 bedroom villa gave us plenty of space and had everything we needed for our little one. Tub, high chair, crib, baby gates on the stairs, blackout curtains in the rooms, snacks and milk for our son (and a bottle of port for the adults), etc. Loved renting e-bikes and biking to the lighthouse as a short day excursion. Jerome at the bike station was amazing! 10/10 recommend this hotel.

Nothing! Everything was great.

Great location close to beautiful beach, great pools, great playgrounds, great food and great staff. We all loved it.

It’s not very bike friendly for smaller kids, due to hills and cobbled streets. The TV also doesn’t have Netflix etc so could do with upgrading (or bring firestick/ Apple TV with you). Some of the fitness classes were too expensive eg. €24 for a yoga class which should be €10.

We stayed for a week with a 5mo baby and a 4 year old and the whole place was geared up for families so the stay was so much more relaxing than we expected! So much for the kids to do with loads of swimming pools, a kids club, play areas, and even a little activity corner in each restaurant for the kids to play at when they’d finished eating! The staff were all super friendly and wonderful with the little ones. We stayed in a bay view house and it was perfect with the kids as it had everything they needed including a nappy bin! We will definitely be going back!

This is our second trip to this resort mainly for the children's entertainment and kids' facilities which were excellent. The staff were patient with the children and kept them entertained while adults enjoyed their meals. Breakfast was very good. Overall highly recommended for families, especially with kids under aged 10. Spa was good, quiet adult only areas, even managed wind surfing while kids were at kids club! Not recommended for just couples unless you can tolerate happy noisy children! WiFi was good and parking sufficient. Plenty of play areas, large bouncy castles, trampoline etc. Happy kids and tired parents!!

Aircon didn't work well and room was hot! Think thermostat was controlled by hotel. Some of the children's toy areas could be cleaner, if possible.

everything was well thought about! stuff very friendly and very nice facilities with many pools to choose from, and a football field, padel, tennis, we used it all.

Perhaps it could be more promoted as resort for smaller children, because the average age of children was around 4 I would say. There are excellent facilities for smaller kids and babies, but with children at the age 12 and upwards it is not so easy to find likewise kids. And one more thing is there is a great variety of classes and academies for young and old, plus a watersport point but you have to py for everything extra, whereby at least the classes are mainly free at other likewise resorts.

The pools were great, totally geared towards families. However our kids were a little old at 7 and 10. But still some great facilities for them to use. It was a great base to explore around

Everything! I had heard good stuff about this hotel and it really didn’t disappoint. We stayed in down season (early February) so understandably some of the facilities were closed, but there was still enough variety to keep all of the family happy. Also this meant the resort was quiet which we liked, as well as excellent value for money! The resort is well maintained and everything looks brand new, our garden house was spotless, and everything we ate in the restaurant was delicious. The biggest positive for me was the staff - everyone we met went out of their way to make our stay as perfect as possible. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The staff cannot do enough for you they were great. What I thought was great was once you checked in(which is so easy) they knew your name, that attention to detail just shows they go that extra mile, it’s only a small thing but they make it a personal experience.

The price in restaurants / pool bar. I’m not a penny pincher but 7 euro’s 50 for a pint of Sagres, along with the cost of some of the food aswell is a bit steep. Listen, it’s a captive audience, you’re a good distance from Sagres itself, so unfortunately that’s the price you pay, it just sticks in the throat a little bit. I wouldn’t want this to put anyone off, it’s just my personal gripe that’s all, the overall experience was very nice.

Service in general was exceptional. We loved the safe playing area for children in the village. The staff were very nice and all excellent to deal with especially Joban! The fun at the football academy was brilliant for our son. Brilliant facilities for all!! Amazing location amazing holiday! We would definitely go back!

The TV setup was very complicated and did not have English channels. We were not watching it much but for downtime it would of been good to have.

The resort and staff are so child friendly it was amazing. Our 1 and 4 year old absolutely loved it. So much for adults iswell and the food in all restaurants is of a v high quality. Looking forward to going back next year.

We stayed in garden villas and whilst they were nice and big they felt dated and the floors were not clean. My kids would have a bath and after 10mins of running around the soles of their feet were filthy. This was disappointing as the rest of the resort was spotless. Our only other negative was the cost. Accommodation is pricey enough which we had no issues with but we spent more in the resort for the 6 days than we did for the stay. Everything from drinks to grocery store to kids club is expensive so be prepared if you do go.
