EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel

The staff were so helpful and friendly. The hotel had a nice relaxed atmosphere Nice pools, one cool and fresh (cold) and one heated Large hotel room balcony Enjoyed the DJ playing nice summer tunes at the main pool

This was a wonderful location set in beautiful leafy surroundings with direct, card-controlled access to one of the finest beaches in the Algarve. Just 15 minutes by Uber into the city of Albufeira, we enjoyed the serene neighbourhood well attended by little shops, cafes and pizza, Chinese and Indian restaurants. The pleasing architecture of the hotel itself, designed to maximise the flow of air and accentuate the elements of water and nature, and the welcoming staff at the entrance, set the pace for a peaceful haven indeed and a reviving stay. The food at Epic Sana, in the three restaurants that were open at the time of our visit , ranged between positively good (Abyad buffet) and exceptional (Al Quimia). The hospitality was excellent. We may have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world, but I think Epic Sana staff were exceptional. Attentive, intuitive, courteous, charming and consistently helpful. The facilities, the Spa, the pool we utilised were clean and well-maintained. The beautiful one bed Suite had two bathrooms, much to the delight of the family. A well thought out and equipped kitchen, which we did use. The spacious Suite had a vast balcony with a sweeping view of the grounds inviting one to lounge. Maintenance attended promptly when we reported a non-functioning socket. And we enjoyed their indulging us with chocolate each night when they came to turn down our bed covers. Yes, every night :) We wished we had more time to spend. Our stay was 'heavenly' and restful. Just what one needed after a long year trying to make a living.

Very helpful and friendly staff, excellent breakfasts, room was very comfortable. Excellent room rate for January although it looks much, much more expensive in the summer.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our greeter at the entrance. He was very helpful with all the necessary information we needed. Food at breakfast was very good. Our tasting menu experience, although expensive, was a really lovely two hours. The food in the other speciality restaurant was very good but the portions were tiny. The pool areas were really well kept. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for that bit of extra luxury we all crave.

Oh my goodness, this resort went way beyond our wildest expectations! Our room was amazing, so very comfortable, the bed was awesome and the room very well appointed! We had an amazing view of the ocean and the pools and gardens! The pools were absolutely wonderful, one heated, one cooler adult only pool, plus a kid’s paddling pool and an indoor spa pool as well. The breakfast area was beyond amazing!!! The service was absolutely top notch, the fresh omelette bar soooo good, every type of fresh fruit imaginable, lattes, cappuccinos, fresh orange juice and Portuguese pastries! I cannot even mention all that was there to choose from, it was really incredible! We have decided that we must return here again and recommend this resort to everyone!
