Martinhal Quinta do Lago Family Resort

Great family holiday. I visited with my young family for 10 day's during the U.K easter holiday, and we stayed in a villa after upgrading from a town house.The facilities are very good with 3 good size pools including a toddler pool and indoor pool with lots of natural light, the pools were heated, but would still recommend thermal t shirts or shorty wet suits for young kids as many got cold after playing for a while.There is a small shop that has the essentials and quite a few British products including Ella's kitchen. We did most of our shopping at a small supermarket 5 minutes drive away.The villa was clean and spacious and the daily maid service was appreciated to make the holiday a little more relaxing.There was a lot to make the villa family friendly, plastic utensils for kids, thick curtains and screens for early bed times, the cot, high chair and stair gates all in place upon arrival, the only negatives were no pool guard in the villa we were in, but I was informed of this before arrival and the front door was easily opened by my toddler as locks are card operated.The general resort is well looked after and quiet and safe, and easily navigated by foot even with small children, there is aircraft noise from Faro airport and noise from gardeners, but both are very limited in duration and not that loud.The staff are all very friendly and with the various child friendly facilities including, table tennis, large sand pit, blue room, the kids barely wanted to leave resort.Finally the biggest positive for me was that, it was a very family friendly resort without it seeming like we were living in a school playground, like some other resorts we have stayed in, which made it a nice holiday for me and the wife.
