Meridien Penina, portugal - anyone been there?

[issywoo]

we've just booked a 10 day trip there and we don't have much info on the area/hotel. has anyone been there? any tips of what to take (eg: nappies) or not to take? we have a 15 month old and a 4 year old. thanks!

We went about four years ago - accommodation is good, food quite good but pricey. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere so it's a cab/car ride to nearest towns - think Lagos is one of them - pretty, harbour town if I remember rightly with very good tavernas that are much cheaper than eating in the hotel. Kids club seemed ok - nice staff who could all speak enough English to communicate with the kids. You can go riding/play golf on site. Did the first, but not a golfer. Think you can buy nappies locally - in the town. They were very helpful as DS was 18 months at the time, and they made the room as child friendly as possible.
