Review of Martinhal Resort

We have just returned from the most wonderful week...

We have just returned from the most wonderful week at Martinhal Sagres Beach Resort.

Their formula is perfect...A relaxing luxury resort for the adults, coupled with everything you could possibly need for young children!

The food is very tasty with a huge variety on offer. Each restaurant is spacious, allowing for prams and high chairs and messy toddlers! The swimming pools are immaculate and luxurious and staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

We travelled with our 23 month old son and baby bump. It would take forever to mention all of the child friendly amenities and services on offer, but to mention a few...

- All baby change rooms are immaculate with mini toilets for little bottoms!

- There are dedicated staff and play areas in each restaurant to allow adults to finish eating in peace!

- High chairs and booster seats come as standard at each restaurant, as well as healthy child menu choices and mini cutlery/plastic glasses etc.

- Use of substantial buggies for a refundable deposit save you bringing your own!

- A gift bag with beach ball and hat for each child on arrival and a little toy box on wheels in the accommodation to keep all of your child's belongings in one place.

- There are clean and tidy play areas, including a main area with a bouncy castle and trampolines and play houses (not tacky!).

- Daily visits to breakfast and at dinner time from the resort mascot went down a treat with the kids (not tacky)!

- A beautiful view from breakfast highlights the short walk to the beach.

- Daily complimentary sessions, e.g. swimming lessons, for the kids.

Etc etc etc!!!

The overall atmosphere in the resort is incredibly calm and relaxing despite the number of young children present. We felt that we had chosen a place with likeminded parents who wanted a relaxing 5 star holiday and a place to give their kids a fun week. Our son had the time of his life!

We have recommended this place to everyone with young children and will definitely return when child number 2 comes along!

NB - I was one of many pregnant women in the resort and it is worth bearing in mind that whilst all accommodation is within a short walk from the resort amenities (maximum 10 minutes waddle!), the paths are a little hilly at times.
