Posting here for traffic sorry.

Can anyone please recommend a 5* all inclusive suitable for a toddler.

Looking for somewhere less than 3hr flight, short resort transfer (less than an hour) splash pool, play area and excellent food.

Many thanks

For those recommending Martinhal Portugal, is it a short walk to any nearby villages?

Great thread idea OP!

Tui Magic Life resorts... any of them. My friend goes back to one of them every single year she loves them so much. I’m considering one for next year.

The dream is to also be near a decent village/town too!

Magic Natura In Spain is amazing. It's in the middle of a zoo and water park, with FREE unlimited entry to both. We loved it last year with 2 toddlers

Another vote for Daios Cove in Crete. We had a fabulous time here and I believe they have since brought in an all inclusive option and redone one of the main restaurants. Fantastic resort - definitely go for the villa with heated pool, rather than the room with individual pool though, as some rooms don’t get the sun, so might be a tad cold for a toddler (although we visited in May, so maybe peak summer would be warmer)

I would recommend Holiday Villages by first choice. They are in loads of places, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Tunisia. We've been to Majorca and Turkey. They are 4-5 stars, AI and have really good entertainment for kids, either in Kids Club or in the evening (Widget Show, which is puppets and cartoons, Peppa Pig, Live and Loud, which is for maybe older kids, but toddlers and young ones can still dance along). Kids Club starts at 3yo, but they have a paid creche service. All the Reps are British and have UK child care certification. Some of the hotels are on the beach as well so there is something for everyone.
My daughter is 8yo and loves it, we first went when she was 6yo and she said to the reps it was better than Disney World. Bit friendlier on our pockets as well.

We went to Victoria GF in Tenerife. It had a fabulous splash pool and was immaculate. I don't think they do all inc. though.

Sensatori crete, beautiful resort, offers day and night care for little ones so you can have a break as well as amazing kids pools/ splash parks.

Martinhal in Sagres would be a bit of a walk to Sagres. Not sure if I’d want to walk with kids a long the road- you can go along the beach but it’s reasonable walk. We hired a car- I’d want a car anyway.

It’s great- we are going back this Summer. It’s not cheap, but is definitely 5 star.

It’s also not less than an hour from the airport!

What about monte de Quinta in the Algarve I don't know if they do all inc but I love it there it's great for with kids

AlaskanSnow · 08/04/2019 13:07

Oh I need this thread - currently looking for the same thing!

fillmyglassplease · 08/04/2019 19:00

It's so hard to find somewhere that's both quality and suitable!

@Darcydashwood

The Stella Palace in Crete is lovely if you can fly a bit longer
Is it worth the upgrade from the Stella villiage?

Martinhal sagres hands down
