We visited here for 7 nights as we have realised we need more baby friendly holidays for our 19month old we don t normally go for resorty hols so we wanted something special.
Martinhal Sagres didn t dissapoint in its quality. We had 1 bed apt 325 in the garden as part of baby first holiday package. Some elements of the apt were a bit aged but overall quality facility and well equipped kitchen.
The resort has 3 main restaurants and a popup grill and finally a bar. We are in Oz Gambinos one night and found the pasta really good. Another night we had a 3 course meal in Terraco which is where the main breakfast is offered also. It s not very special to eat in as it s just as manic as breakfast but again the food was very good.
The popup grill for takeaway was EXCELLENT! The meat was nicely cooked and very very tasty. The take away from oz gambinos was great too.
Do be aware this whole place shuts at 10pm which is quite early I think. Bar everything is closed.
There is a supermarket onsite but this is expensive expect a heavy markup here for food and things like nappies. If you have a car it s only a very short spin to sagres to the intermarche for much much much better value.
The creche staff are excellent even with our son not so happy to be left with strangers.
Now the negative. This is hardly their fault short of selection of the site but the wind is constant. Our first 4 days were about 21 degrees but the wind made it feel closer to 15 so not very pleasant to sit out long unless well sheltered. The last 2 days were nothing short of a storm wind which made it drab and cold. This is Sagres I m reliably told and as such we would be slow to go again instead to opt for maybe the Caiscais site next time.
Maybe if you go in the height of summer the breeze would be welcome but for temps under about 25 I d expect to feel cold.
