Review: Martinhal Beach Resort
1
The lowdown: Martinhal Beach Resort in Portugal, 5 minutes from Sagres and a fairly easy, 90 minutes from Faro airport. I went with my husband Matt and daughters, Tallulah, 3 and Scarlett, 1.

The kids loved it because: They thoroughly enjoyed the kids club and loved splashing around in the pool every day.
Why I’d recommend: Many family friendly hotels with kids clubs look far more appealing to the children than the adults. This isn’t anything
