Warm and welcoming staff. Very attentive to requests. The breakfast was excellent especially loved the fresh fruit, juices, variety of pastries, bread, omelets, vegan options as well as cheeses and meats/ salmon. The ocean view is spectacular. My kids enjoyed tennis, the beach, golf and the other activities at Kids club. It was close to Lagos and concierge arranged our trip to Benagil. The villa we lived in was very comfortable. Look forward to visiting again.

lovely , quiet resort- great for families
very beautiful setting in a quiet surfer town. the house was very clean, they had mulitple recycling bins (huge plus) and a very nice welcome basket. The area we stayed in had a private pool only for people in that set of townhouses, and it was lovely. we were there in the off season, mostly families and very quiet, especially after 8. easy access to downtown Sagres and some great surfing beaches and little cafes. food onsight was decent and the staff friendly. the hotel beach was nice, but covered in slightly smelly seaweed. the only issue we had was that our internet didnt work until the night before we left. we said something on the first day but they did not fix it until it came time to send the bill over tv and we could not access it.

We loved this hotel and thought it was perfect for our little family. Everything is geared towards kids and well thought out. Staff are lovely and attentive. Food delicious. Overall an amazing stay and we have already talked about returning - if not to the Sagres location then one of Martinhal’s others in Portugal.

5-star resort made for families
The resort is amazing, although very family oriented. We were the only couple without young kids. Still, we were able to relax. Upscale clientele.

We stayed in one of the hotel rooms overlooking the sea. It was a great location and a view we never bored of. We were there a week as just a couple and despite the majority of the visitors were very young families we did not feel overwhelmed with children. We dined off site at the beech bar/restaurant, very short walk from the resort, and were able to be almost child free for dining and it was considerably more economical than the on site restaurants.

Quite literally a luxury family experience with a beautiful house and very nice restaurants on site with excellent facilities. We both came down with a non-COVID related illness in our last week and the reception was able to connect us to 24 hr medical attention and booked us straight into an appointment to see a doctor the next day. Definitely returning.

Beware .. Lots and lots of Young children at this resort. Beautiful setting but very remote. Very nice rooms. WiFi didn’t work in our room Dinner was expensive and disappointing.

Beautiful location & resort
This was our first time visiting Portugal. The resort was easy to get to, offered parking for our rental and was beautiful. We had a really nice "villa" with plenty of space for our family of four, including our 16 & 17 year old teenagers. We took advantage of the sports facilities, particularly the pools. My daughter is a competitive swimmer and was able to get some decent workouts in due to the size/length of two of the pools, plus my son had some great (and challenging) runs around the resort property. When they say "family resort" here - they aren't kidding. There were lots of small children - not so many older kids, which was kind of a bummer for my kids, but still made for a very casual environment. We sampled almost all but one of the restaurants, and tended to prefer the more casual offerings. The O Terraco restaurant had beautiful views, but I thought the food was more "fancy" or "complex" than I would've expected for a resort catering to young families. We did enjoy the Wolf Pop up grill (though it sold out of items early), Italian Restaurant and M Bar. Also, the market had good offerings for us to obtain breakfast items and snacks. In general, I would give this location high marks and would consider returning again, as well as recommending to others.

Family-oriented Fancy Chain Resort
The Martinhal Sagres resort is ideal for a family vacation with young children. We came with my seven-month-old son and it was so nice to have the entire resort cater to children. Little things like every restaurant offering high chairs, bibs, baby spoons, and pureed baby food made it so much easier to manage meal times on vacation. There is tons of stroller parking at every location in the resort and a dedicated stroller ramp to get down to the pool and beach area. The room itself is very luxurious and spacious. They can provide a crib and baby bathtub, which made bathing and bedtime just as comfortable as at home. The view from the room was amazing. Also, the hotel has a daycare where you can leave your child so that the parents can enjoy various waterports (SUP, windsurfing, kayak tours) or just a quiet afternoon. Everything is very pricey, but you're paying for the quality of the service and the comfort of the accommodations.

De-stressed Family Holiday
This resort is great for families with children. Restaurants, pools and communal areas totally set up for peace of mind and de-stressing holiday parenthood. A few points to note - we visited in late May and the wind was excessive making the pool areas unpleasant. We are in all of the restaurants - the family casual dining restaurant was exceptional for what it was - the other more upscale options were good without being great. For top end food, suggest you head out to some of the local restaurants. Kids club was great although a word of warning, you need to book before you arrive to guarantee a place.

Toddler fun in the Algarve
Amazing setting. Really spacious accommodations. Extremely helpful staff who found out it was my birthday and left a yummy chocolate birthday cake in the house we were staying in. We stayed there with our one year old.The house we stayed at was really spacious, well-equipped with a high chair, cot, nappy bins, cutlery/plates for toddlers. Welcome pack in the property with milk, juice, jam, etc. They have various playgrounds on-site, a well-equipped indoor play area for little ones, creche services. Really cool floaters for toddlers at the indoor pool. They also have bike rentals with toddler seats. It's a pity we couldn't stay longer and enjoy all the things this resort has to offer: tennis, spa etc... We would love to go back.

Best family holiday this side of the Maldives
Perfect family hotel with all that you would need to have a great time - bike hire, playgrounds and beach. Service at the hotel is great and it is full of thoughtful touches like the lack of sharp corners on the furniture in the villa, a little toy box and even a welcome gift for the kids. Will come back.

Great resort holiday with young kids
We had a two bedroom ocean apartment for the 4 of us (including kids under 4). Super location. Kids club excellent. Food good but also used our own kitchen facilities and ate out of the resort a couple of times.....lots of flexibility. Great swimming pools and beautiful beach. All in all an excellent holiday and would definitely go back.

Great for whole family
Villa and resort facilities were all top class. We have two boys (5 & 3) and they were catered for really well. Safe and fun playgrounds next to all restaurants and bar so the kids can play whilst we relax and get some adult chat. Kids clubs were great, fun activities and good facilities. The sports clubs should consider the gap between so the parent doesn't need to come back for the 15 minute interchange. Apart from that a lovely place and easy to relax as the kids are well catered for.

Incredible Hotel! Can’t wait to go again!
We’re just back from a fabulous holiday to Martinhal, we’d heard a lot about the resort and had many recommendations but we didn’t believe it all until we arrived ourselves. It’s a tiny piece of paradise in Europe, quick and easy to get to but feels like you’ve travelled miles to get to such an amazing locations. Resort is immaculate, beautiful scenery and views , staff are so polite, friendly And efficient. We were travelling with our young baby and had a beach view hotel Room which was perfect for our little family. We did also have friends staying at one of the luxury villas and that was incredible if you wanted a special treat! Honestly can’t recommend enough. We usually Go to 5 star hotels via mr and mrs smith and thought we’re expecting to change now we have a baby but Martinhal manages to give parents luxury and the kids endless fun! Can’t wait to go back again!

Martinhal Sagres not for me again.
The hotel and the grounds are fantastic. We had a 2 bed apartment with a sea view. It was really nice. They are really clean, they have everything you will need for a family. I don't know what the other rooms are like. The kids clubs have to be paid for in advance and if your kid doesn't turn up you are charged to your room. To send your kid to the kids club for a full day will cost you over 60 euro. You can send them for parts of the days for 20 euro a time. You will never need to use cash in the hotel. Everything is charged to your room. We had a few issues with this and had to get some overcharging sorted. The staff in the Italian restaurant are not nearly as good as the staff in the other 2. Food and drink is very expensive. A pizza will cost you 16 euro and a pint of the local Sagres beer will cost you 6 euro. This is a good hotel if you want to get rid of your kids for the day.

The staff at the reception is unfriendly and lazy, the others however are very nice, friendly and service orientated. The hotel is very nice, good food, great view and situated in a remote but nice location. Everything you do or eat costs extra and these prices are very high - in the end it leaves a feeling of getting ripped off a bit.

Loved it (again!)
Our second trip to Martinhal and it lived up to the memories of the first trip in 2015. The children were soon at ease, the houses have enough space to relax and not feel like you're under each other's feet. One thing we did note was that some parts of the accommodation are starting to look a bit tired and could do with a refresh - that hasn't stopped us looking at booking for next summer though.
