The food in restaurants wasn’t the best.

Very nice, comfortable, spacious place. Beautiful views. Friendly accommodating staff. Market on site with affordable prices and anything you could need for kids. You could come almost empty handed get everything it in the market.

Our en suite shower didn’t drain well so kept completely flooding the bathroom floor and then the water just stayed and probably would’ve remained till the whole week had we not eventually found a mop in the cupboard. That was the only thing that was a bit of a downer on the holiday, which was a bit of a shame because it would’ve been perfect otherwise.

The facilities for families are amazing! So many swimming pools, and the time of year we went meant it wasn’t too busy. Our 2.5 year old had so much to do and absolutely loved it. I felt like we were discovering completely new bits of the resort every day. We stayed in a 2 bed villa and everything just seemed so well considered, eg having different firmness of pillows so you had a choice depending on your preference (like an actual real choice rather than just a bed full of pillows and random cushions), there was a welcome basket with things like milk, cereal, and dishwasher and washing machine tablets were provided.

So well catered for familiesnb

The location is a bit far from Faro so it requires additional logistics to get to.

The place is meticulously designed for families with kids (at all ages). It's extremely well prepared for having a child and everyone from the family enjoying a good time! The scenery is stunnning and the staff is top notch!

Nothing

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!

Amazingly located on the side of the beach with spectacular views to the sea

Nothing! Everything was great.

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.

This beautiful family resport was also a lovely place for a couple without children. The beach was exceptional and so were the facilities. We were there in the off-season (January), and I imagine that it can get pretty crazy in the summer. But we 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.

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

For family vacations,this hotel in a stunning location is the perfect choice.The staff are incredibly helpful and facilities are superb,including excellent dining options. Highly recommend for families with young children who are interested in sports or beach activities.

Coffee shop only opened at 9:30

Nice clean comfortable houses and kids enjoyed the tennis courts. Great facilities!

The restaurants are very expensive and there isn't really a less expensive option, so you do end up spending a lot of money. Perhaps there could be slightly more to do for older kids (outside of the kids club). The family disco was a great idea but mainly suited the much younger ones with the songs and dances chosen.

The staff were exceptional - incredibly friendly and helpful, as well as being great with the kids. The food and drink was all delicious - I was impressed with the number of vegetarian options. The fairy trail set up for the kids was a wonderful detail - both my children (aged 8 and 5) loved completing it. We used taxis to get to sarges a few times and we always had the same taxi driver - Edson - who was wonderful. The hotel arranged the taxis for us and always came to our door so it really felt effortless.

The rooms were extremely spacious. The scenery comforting and relaxing. Nice variety of facilities for the kids.

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

The location is stunning, the facilities were great, and we had the choice of ordering food or cooking in our apartment. Multiple pools, playgrounds, the beach, and other facilities.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. But next time we will bring our out and about pram for the cobble paths

Everything was perfect, from the staff, to food, and facilities.

OK so this is a family hotel, but we were still surprised to be seemingly the ONLY guests without pre-school kids. The ambience at breakfast, dinner, and in general around the grounds was, um, as thus to be expected. Otherwise: the food was a little disappointing. We chose vegan options for breakfast and dinner, and, well: not so great. Would expect much better at this level.

Excellent room, views, service, facilities, grounds, and a very nice birthday cake surprise for one of us! Very thoughtful - thank you :)

A little isolated on the far side of the Algarve which made it hard to tour the area and meant the sea water was super cold. Food was really good but better food could be found in the area for a fraction of the price. Kids club was great, but had very limited availability especially for ages 4-8 which is the sweet spot for kids wanting to do kids club

Amazing breakfast, great service, beautifully designed property, solid restaurants for a resort. Very kid friendly down to the last detail like having kids toilets and free kids entertainment during meals.

Having to prebook all the kids activities in advance. The restaurants are quite pricey and it really adds up if you stay a week. House keeping service could have been better, seemed very rushed and not very thorough. Additionally, there’s a lot of walking involved with a few hills etc so just something to be mindful of.

Great facilities to keep the children entertained for a week. A choice of pools and daily kids club activities. Beautifully kept grounds and lovely views from the property. The village square was excellent for the kids and adults with the play area and bar next to each other. We could enjoy sun downers while the kids kept themselves entertained. Food wise-I thoroughly enjoyed the Joseph Grill. Amazing roast chicken.
